Pick your lane.
Five training goals, plus bundles. Pick the lane that matches what you're training for, not what's on sale.
Power
Building
Strong and jacked, no contradiction. The bridge between barbell strength and physique work.
Strength
Squat, bench, deadlift, overhead press. Heavy-Light-Medium and Texas-Method intermediate cycles.
Hypertrophy
Upper-lower splits and specialization blocks for size, with the barbell still doing the work.
Meet
Prep
Peaking blocks for raw powerlifting. Seven to twelve-week cycles, tapers built in.
After 40
Lower fatigue, more recovery, the same lifts. Built for guys whose forties show up in the warm-up.
Bundles
Multi-program packs. Most of a year of programming at a bundled price.
The Baker Barbell
4-Day Power-Building Program
A four-day power-building split built around the bench, squat, overhead press, and deadlift. Full assistance template included. Runs in a commercial or home gym.
Practical Programming for Strength Training
Full catalog.
No catalog items match. Clear a filter and start with Goal first. Most of Andy's catalog runs in a basic garage gym, so equipment is rarely the limiter.
The Baker Barbell 4-Day Power-Building Program
Four-day power-building split built around the bench, squat, overhead press, and deadlift. Full assistance template included.
The KSC Method for Power Building
A complete 5-day plan for mass, strength, and physique. Built on the 8-5-2 cycle to keep the squat, bench, deadlift, and press progressing year-round.
Garage Gym Warrior
Thirteen weeks of three-day Heavy-Light-Medium for a rack, barbell, bench, and chin bar.
Classic Heavy-Light-Medium
Twelve weeks of three-day Heavy-Light-Medium built around the squat, bench, and deadlift. Power clean variation included.
The KSC Texas Method
Volume-cycled Texas Method for more sustained progress. The intermediate template from Practical Programming, refined for real lifters.
The KSC Texas Method 2
A 9-week Texas-Method block on a Monday/Wednesday/Friday split, with a built-in testing week. For general strength or meet prep.
The Baker Barbell 5×5
Thirteen-week 5×5 peaking program. Three days a week, upper/lower split, built around the squat, bench, deadlift, and overhead press.
Garage Gym Warrior 2
Fifteen weeks of basic-barbell training built on percentage work and bar speed. Three days a week, rack and barbell only.
Garage Gym Warrior 3
Twelve-week 3-day full-body block built around the squat, bench, deadlift, and overhead press. Basic garage equipment only.
Strength & Mass After 40
Four-day Heavy-Light program for lifters past forty who still want strength and size. Periodized barbell lifts and a full assistance template.
Flexible Hypertrophy
A legs-push-pull split that runs at three, four, five, or six days a week. Pick the schedule that survives your week.
Upper / Lower Hypertrophy
Four-day upper/lower hypertrophy split (3-day option included), with low, medium, and high volume tiers to match your recovery.
Arm Specialization
Twelve weeks of full-body training with the volume biased to biceps, triceps, and forearms.
Shoulder Specialization
Twelve weeks of full-body training with the volume biased to shoulders and traps.
The KSC Method for RAW Powerlifting
Seven-week upper/lower powerlifting cycle for meet prep or general strength. Easier to recover from than most Texas-Method derivatives.

Two programs in one: a ten-week 3 or 4-day split, plus a five-week peaking block for meet prep.
The Over-60 Basic Barbell Program
Two-day basic barbell strength for lifters over 60, or anyone who needs low frequency and low volume. Squat, bench, deadlift, overhead press. Rack, barbell, bench.
