What You'll Learn:

  • A framework to move from evaluation to executable program

  • How to build a training plan around real-life barriers (time, equipment, motivation)

  • Programming principles that apply to injured athletes, new lifters, or older adults

  • Key concepts: homeostasis, progressive overload, adaptation, specificity

  • How to use RPE, reps in reserve, and 1RM to track and tailor intensity

  • Supersets, compound sets, and circuits: when and why to use them

  • Phase-based progressions for tendon, neuro, strength, and conditioning goals

Why It Matters:

Great treatment starts with clarity—but execution is where it lives or dies.

This course shows you:

  • How to translate clinical findings into actionable training plans

  • How to avoid the "perfect program no one follows" trap

  • Why context (lifestyle, habits, time, goals) should dictate design

  • How to break complex rehab down into bite-sized, doable steps

Programming isn’t about perfection. It’s about matching strategy to reality.
