K.I.S.S. Training Program

We all fall victim to it. Over complicating our strength training programs. One expert on the internet says "X" and just a click away, another expert says "Y". Both sound like great ideas, both guys are respected coaches, and both have plenty of strong athletes under their tutelage. For many of us the result can be the dreaded Paralysis by Analysis. It happens. The best remedy is often just to take a step back, get off all the websites, shut the books, and get back to the basics. Find the simplest program you can find and then EXECUTE IT!!! Turn off your brain and just lift!!

I don't have a lot of time right now so here it is. If you are chronically programming hopping or are just "stuck" not knowing which direction to turn, try this. Its painfully simple, yet very effective. Its about 14 weeks long
