Whether you’re a gym newbie or a veteran of the iron, we all want to make sure our time in the gym is being spent as effectively as possible. In my years as a competitive athlete and trainer I’ve found a lot of things that work well, and many things that don’t… Based on research and first hand experience, the four key factors I think every strength training program should cover are:

• The ‘Foundation’ exercises
• A practical schedule
• Adequate frequency
• Periodization (some sort of change over time)
