Three full-body days hitting every major movement pattern each session — maximum frequency, perfect for beginners and naturals.
Build the movement base and progress fast — ideal for beginners and naturals.
Periodizzazione
Come eseguirlo
Level-up rule: run a column until you own EVERY top-of-range set at its loads for two consecutive weeks — then the next column is yours. Junior ≈ your first month, Intermediate ≈ month 3, Advanced ≈ month 6. Your bodyweight will change on the way; the loads don’t care — re-calibrate after every deload week and let the working weights, not the scale, decide the column.
Controllo volume
Serie dure dirette per gruppo muscolare a settimana — i sinergici non contano (le spinte allenano anche i tricipiti, le trazioni i bicipiti). 10–20 serie dure sono la zona di crescita: sotto è mantenimento, sopra richiede un recupero d'élite.
Come eseguirlo
Trova il tuo peso
Don't max out to find your numbers. (1) Warm up, then load the reference weight for your level. (2) Do one set: if you finish the top of the rep range with MORE than the target RIR left, add 2.5 kg (upper) / 5 kg (lower) and repeat; if you can't reach the bottom of the range at the target RIR, take the same off. (3) That weight is your working load for every set that day. Junior: start one notch BELOW the reference and earn the jumps — clean reps beat heavy reps.
Come eseguirlo
One movement per major pattern each day. Focus on clean technique and adding a little weight each week. A day off between sessions keeps you fresh. The core finisher recovers fast — you can also run it daily or on rest days; obliques count.
Progressione
Beginners progress fast: +2.5 kg upper / +5 kg lower nearly every session while form holds.
Riscaldamento
General: 5 min easy cardio + dynamic mobility for the day's joints. Per heavy compound, ramp: 10 reps empty bar → 5 @ 50% → 3 @ 70% → 1 @ 85% of your working weight. Isolation: one light feeder set.
Autoregolazione (RPE/RIR)
RIR = reps in reserve (left in the tank); RPE 8 = 2 RIR. Pick a load that lands you on the target RIR at the last rep — feel strong, add weight; feel flat, take some off. Anchor every working weight to YOUR own 1RM, not the reference numbers.
Cardio
10–15 min zone 2 after each session + a 30–40 min brisk walk on rest days. Easy pace on purpose: a beginner's cardio should build the habit and the heart, not steal from the lifts.
Scarico
Every 5th–6th week: volume −40%, intensity −10%, every set left at 4+ RIR. One light week resets fatigue before the next mesocycle.
Programma settimanale
Mon · Wed · Fri — a full rest day between each session
L'allenamento
I pesi di lavoro sono indicativi per un atleta di riferimento. Adattali al tuo 1RM e raggiungi l'RPE obiettivo: la prescrizione è la %1RM, le ripetizioni e il RIR, non i chili.
Le indicazioni in parole semplici
Ogni esercizio porta con sé qualche numero. Ecco come leggerli, senza tecnicismi.
Reference loads assume an ~80–90 kg male. Lighter or female athletes typically scale to ~60–70% of the upper-body numbers and ~70–80% of the lower-body numbers — the %1RM, reps and RIR stay identical.

~60
min
A press, a pull, a squat and a little core — the foundation session.
Short on time? Superset barbell rear delt row + dead bug: one set of each back-to-back, then rest 60 s — saves ~4 min with no cost on isolation work. Never superset the day's primary lift.
Shoulder blades pinned, bar to lower chest, drive through mid-foot.

Passo dopo passo
A push-focused full-body day still moved the legs, so keep it short and cover both ends: chest and triceps from the pressing, hip and hamstring from the squat pattern.

Clasp your hands behind your back, lift the sternum and pull the shoulders back and down. Don't arch the lower back — the stretch belongs in the chest, not the lumbar spine.

Elbow points at the ceiling, hand walks down between the shoulder blades. Keep the ribs down — otherwise the pelvis tips and you stretch your back, not the triceps.

Deep lunge, drive the back hip forward, tuck the pelvis. Short hip flexors tilt your pelvis into every squat that follows — this is the priority after squatting and leg pressing.

Front heel down, toes up, hinge forward from the hip with a flat back. A rounded back stretches nerve, not muscle.
Static stretching belongs AFTER the session, never before it — held before a heavy set it measurably costs force output. Move into each position until you feel mild tension, never pain, and breathe out into it. Hold still: no bouncing on a fatigued muscle. Skip a muscle that is cramping and walk it off first.

Hinge-led day: hamstrings and back first, then a press and biceps.
Short on time? Superset dumbbell biceps curl + lever seated squat calf raise on leg press machine: one set of each back-to-back, then rest 60 s — saves ~4 min with no cost on isolation work. Never superset the day's primary lift.

Pull focus: the lat and the neck carry the session, the hinge work leaves the hamstrings long-loaded. Four positions, six minutes, done.

From all fours walk the hands forward, hips back toward the heels, sternum to the floor. Breathe into the flank — the lat only releases on the exhale.

Ear toward the shoulder, the hand adds only the weight of the head — never pull. The opposite shoulder stays down.

On your back, arms in a T, lower the legs to one side under control. Both shoulder blades stay on the floor — the rotation comes from the thoracic spine, not the lower back.

Front heel down, toes up, hinge forward from the hip with a flat back. A rounded back stretches nerve, not muscle.

Legs carried this one. Hip flexor and hamstrings get the two rounds, glutes and calves one each.

Deep lunge, drive the back hip forward, tuck the pelvis. Short hip flexors tilt your pelvis into every squat that follows — this is the priority after squatting and leg pressing.

Front heel down, toes up, hinge forward from the hip with a flat back. A rounded back stretches nerve, not muscle.

Ankle over the opposite knee, chest pushed forward and tall. The moment the back rounds you are stretching the back, not the glute.

Back leg straight, heel down, drive the hip toward the wall. This targets the gastrocnemius — the heel never leaves the ground.
Static stretching belongs AFTER the session, never before it — held before a heavy set it measurably costs force output. Move into each position until you feel mild tension, never pain, and breathe out into it. Hold still: no bouncing on a fatigued muscle. Skip a muscle that is cramping and walk it off first.
Per l'allenatore
Technique before load — full range, controlled 2–3 s eccentric, no momentum.
Progressive overload — log every set and beat last week's reps or weight.
Proximity to failure — compounds at 1–2 RIR, isolation at 0–1 RIR.
Volume landmarks — build toward 10–20 weekly hard sets for the muscles the split emphasizes, counting the compound work that hits them on the way.
Recovery is training — 7–9 h sleep, 1.6–2.2 g protein/kg bodyweight, 48 h per region.
Per l'allenatore
Ego-lifting and half reps — load that buries technique builds nothing.
Jumping the weight in big steps instead of small, repeatable increments.
Skipping the warm-up ramp — cold heavy sets are where joints get hurt.
Programme-hopping every week — you can't measure progress you keep resetting.
