• The program is structured for non-consecutive days, such as Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, to allow for sufficient recovery. 0:29
• Day 1 consists of three max effort sets performed to technical failure, ensuring no kipping and a full range of motion. 0:58
• Throughout the entire program, it is essential to maintain solid technique, avoiding kipping and ensuring a full range of motion. 0:58
• Adequate recovery is crucial on Day 1, requiring at least five minutes of rest between each max effort set. 1:15
• Day 2 involves completing ten sets with half the number of reps achieved in the best set from Day 1, with a strict one-minute rest between each set. 1:41
• Progression on Day 2 is achieved by adding one repetition per set once all ten sets can be successfully completed at the current target rep count. 1:49
• Day 3 features an ascending ladder workout, starting with one rep and progressing upwards until fatigue prevents maintaining proper technique. 2:26
• During the Day 3 ladders, a strict 30-second rest is taken between each rung, and a total of five ladders are performed. 2:55
