How would you feel if at the end of 2023, every new client you worked with throughout the year expressed how your programming took them from never having touched a barbell before, to the strongest they’ve ever been?
For many people, their fitness looks the same year in and year out. They never hit those health and strength goals they set, or make the improvements to their appearance they promised themselves they’d make.
In today’s coaching conversation, I’m answering one of the most asked questions by trainers that will help you make this year one of THE most memorable of your client’s fitness journey:
What’s the best training split for a beginner?
While labeling something as “the best” isn’t my style, I will allow the science to explain the why and what of the most optimal breakdown for your novice clients.
Listen up and enjoy!
