Here are the principles of abbreviated training...

Here are the principles of abbreviated training...

1. Spend a few weeks learning the form of the major multi-joint lifts (squat, bench press, deadlift, shoulder press, chins etc) until you have them perfect, so you can train without injury (this is vitally important). Do not lift heavy until you know exactly what you're doing!

2. Perform each lift once a week (one set for lower body, two sets for upper body), split into two or three workouts. Go for your maximum set only when totally warmed up (this is also vitally important).



3. Cycle up in weights gradually, adding a little per week, and even less when it becomes very difficult. Be patient. Too much haste causes injury.

4. When you genuinely feel that you have lifted as much as you can in a particular cycle, take a week or two off and then start again at about 70% of your previous maximum, cycling up to, and hopefully beyond, your previous bests, and so on and so on...
