Programme decisions

The programme ended. What actually needs changing?

Do not choose the next programme from the calendar alone. Read what progressed, what stalled, whether the progression rule still fits and whether the goal changed.

1

What did the block produce?

Review the lifts, muscle groups and goals that were meant to move.

2

What stopped working?

Separate one local stall from a progression rule or programme-wide problem.

3

How large is the required change?

Repeat, extend, adjust one variable or move to a new structure for a stated reason.

After somebody else's programme

You can keep the programme you bought and still make your own next decision.

These pages are independent commentary about what to do after using a programme. They are not affiliated with the named creators and do not reproduce paid programme content.

More programme-specific pages should only be added when search data shows a real query deserves its own answer. The goal is a useful reference library, not hundreds of thin brand pages.

Free

One lift looks flat?

Run the recent exposures through the Progression Check before you decide the whole programme is finished.

Broader problem

Several lifts stalled?

Use the Plateau Check to decide whether the issue is still local or whether the whole week needs reviewing.
