Someone (again) asked me specific questions on program design in the comments section in one of my blog posts, saying that he realized it would be bad for business if I provided a generic template. My answer: It’s not that it’s bad for business, but when I set up a program I base it on: 1. Strength levels - how advanced a person is. There are different volume, loading/intensity, frequency and exercise selections depending on whether you are a novice/beginner, intermediate or advanced/elite. 2. How many days per week can you work out 3. Stress level, sleep, food quality, whether or not you are in a caloric deficit etc etc. ...which is why it is not only difficult, but impossible to provide any templates or program examples, and many of the questions by some of the regulars here are impossible to go into specifics on since I know absolutely nothing about them...and getting all the information would effectively mean that I am taking them on as a client. I get tons of these questions on a daily basis, via my blog, via e-mail, via Facebook and even via phone/text messages, day and night, weekday or weekend, Christmas and Eastern Holidays. I realize that no one understands the time it takes me to go in depth and provide a meaningful answer, and that if I were to respond to everyone, I would essentially be doing pro bono work and my ass would be broke in no time. A brief answer to your question is that I provided some examples in the EliteFTS article (on high frequency training), and as expected people copied it blindly even when I specifically said there were caveats and that an extensive program example would have to take many variables into account (as mentioned above). When Menno Henselmans and I get our website up and running at cyberneticfitness there will be a program generator integrated with a diet planner, which - based on user input - will take all the above variables into account when creating a program. It is still another 2-3 months of programming away, so until then I would kindly ask you and anyone reading this to understand and respect my time and how I need to prioritize my paying clients during some quite work intensive and busy days.
