The four phases

Weeks 1–3

Phase 1 — Position

Own every position before you load it. Slow tempo, full range, and a breathing pattern you can repeat when the set gets hard.

Progression: Reps climb each week while the movement stays identical. Nothing is taken to failure yet.

Weeks 4–6

Phase 2 — Volume

Accumulate quality reps. Sets get longer, rest gets shorter, form stays identical to Phase 1.

Progression: Add a set or a rep each week and cut rest by 15 seconds. Stop any set the moment tempo breaks.

Weeks 7–9

Phase 3 — The Failure Protocol

Programmed sets taken to technical failure — the last rep you can complete with safe, controlled form — with prescribed rest and full recovery days.

Progression: One movement per session carries the failure set. Everything else stays two reps in reserve.

Weeks 10–12

Phase 4 — Peak and re-test

Sharpen the patterns, taper the volume, then measure the twelve weeks honestly.

Progression: Week 10 peaks, week 11 backs off, week 12 re-tests every benchmark from week 1.

A push, pull, squat and hinge you can perform with control under fatigue
A Failure Protocol you can run for years without grinding through broken form
Twelve weeks of logged sessions, minutes and re-tests you can actually compare
Breathwork and stretching woven into training, not bolted on afterwards

Train with controlled form and resistance you can handle. Stop if you feel sharp pain, dizziness or anything unusual, modify anything that doesn't suit your health, ability or experience, and check with a qualified healthcare professional when you need to.
