Load Progression

Leg Curl
The program uses two main systems of progression: programmed progression and double progression.
Programmed progression refers to a cycle where the weights are planned in advance based on your 1RM. So you'll need to establish your maximum load for one technically solid rep on the back squat, push press, and power clean from the hang.
The percentages used during this whole program are all based on that 1RM.
Double progression is a system where you have a target rep range instead of a precise number of reps to do, 6 to 8, for example. You will use the same weight for all your work sets.
The goal is to be able to do all the work sets with the upper limit of the range (8 in our example) with the same weight. When you're able to do that, you increase the weight at your next session. If you can't get 8 reps for all of your work sets, that's fine, but it means that you'll keep the same weight during next week's workout.
So when you see a percentage given for an exercise below, it uses the planned progression. When you don't see a percentage, it means you'll use the double progression approach.

* Perform one set of C1, rest 30 seconds, then perform a set of C2, rest 90 seconds and repeat.
* * Utilize the double progression method, which means the goal is to do 6-8 reps on all your sets using the same weight. If you can complete 8 reps on all your sets, you increase the weight by 5, 10, or even 20 pounds at the next workout. If you do something like 8, 8, 7, 6, that's fine, but it means that you keep the same weight during the next session.
