Individuals who are new to exercise and/or resistance training (less than 3-6 months of experience in a formal training program).

Individuals returning from an extended layoff (more than 4 weeks) from resistance training. We get it: life happens and one missed session sometimes turns into a longer break from the gym. The Beginner Template is a great on-ramp for those who have been out of the gym for a while.

Individuals returning from an injury. These folks may have been running one of our rehab templates or working with our rehabilitation coaches. Regardless, if a lifter has been unable to train normally for a substantial period of time (more than 4-6 weeks), they are also a candidate to use this template.
