FAQ

This FAQ covers the most common questions about training structure, progression, and how to adapt a routine to your schedule and equipment.

Do I need a gym to use these plans?

No. Many plans are designed for home workouts using bodyweight or dumbbells. Gym-based plans use common equipment, and we often share substitution ideas when possible.

I’m a beginner. What should I start with?

If you’re new to training, start with a full-body plan 3 days per week. Keep workouts manageable, focus on technique, and build consistency before chasing intensity.

How long should I follow a plan?

Most people do best staying with one plan for 6–12 weeks. Repeating the same key movements helps you improve form and measure progress clearly.

How do I progress if my dumbbells are light?

You can progress without heavier weights by using one or more of the following:

  • add reps within a target rep range
  • add a set (gradually)
  • use slower, controlled tempo
  • reduce rest slightly (without turning strength work into cardio)
  • use unilateral variations (single-leg / single-arm)
  • increase range of motion safely

Is it okay to train every day?

It depends on intensity and recovery. Strength sessions usually require rest days. If you train daily, alternate harder and easier sessions and watch sleep, soreness, and overall fatigue.

What if I miss a workout?

Don’t try to “make up” everything at once. Resume at the next scheduled session. Consistency over months matters more than any single week.

Can I use your workouts if I have an injury?

If you have an injury or medical condition, consult a qualified professional first. Our content is educational and not medical advice. See our Disclaimer for details.
