The 12-week plan: week picker, phases and the daily sessions

12 weeks. 3 phases. One goal.

Beginner or intermediate, the plan builds itself into your app as real workouts with automatic progression.

  1. Weeks 1-4: Foundation. Learn every lift, build your running base, test where you stand.
  2. Weeks 5-8: Strength. Heavier sets, harder intervals, 50 m repeats and time ladders.
  3. Weeks 9-12: Peak. Heavy and explosive, 20 m shuttle sprints and beep-specific work. Peak for test day.

The rep range rule

Simple, honest progression. You always know what to lift next.

6+top of range+2.5 kg

Pick a range (4-6, 6-8, 10-12 or 12-15). Hit the top and the weight goes up next set. Fall short and it comes down. Where you finish this week is where you start next week, and the app remembers for you.
