Here is the second installment of my BASIC entry-level program. As described in the video I consider this a CONCURRENT style of programming that you will see influences from principles such as; linear, progressive overload, Undulation by way of Dynamic work. There are also aspects of repetition effort and dynamic effort incorporated into this.

I named this program an "off-season concurrent program" as you will not be hitting a "max" ever in this program but working on different aspect of strength. These accessories chosen are GENERAL and not for a particular individual.
