Week 4 of my fourth BuiltStrong Minimalist cycle is complete.
Tomorrow (Sunday) begins my testing week before I start BTS4.
After some tweaking, my schedule for BTS4 looks like this:
DAY 1:
- Double Kettlebell Front Squats (Heavy)
- Renegade Rows (Medium)
- 1-Arm Kettlebell Presses (Medium)
- Romanian Deadlifts (Light)
DAY 2:
- 1-Arm Kettlebell Presses (Heavy)
- Weighted Pull-ups (Heavy)
- Glute-Ham Raises (Medium)
- Split Squats (Light)
DAY 3;
- One-Leg Deadlift (Heavy)
- Weighted Step-ups (Medium)
- 1-Arm Kettlebell Presses (Light)
- Weighted Chin-ups (Light)
I will still be performing the sessions as a Circuit alternating upper and lower body exercises (like Day 1 is written).
I'll perform each set EMOM or with slightly longer rest breaks if and when needed (just like I've done on BuiltStrong Minimalist).
That's how I've been training for the last 14-15 years. It saves time, builds work capacity, and has allowed me to continue building muscle and strength while getting leaner.
