Upper Body:

The lower back and obliques are just as important as the muscles on the front of the core despite being overlooked in most programs. The progression here is simple: try to get a nice pump or accumulate some fatigue in both these areas each week. The movement variations will change slightly to keep your engagement high.

Beat your record every week. If you plan to use resistance band, keep the same type of band for the entire cycle. the progression here is to try to achieve a higher number of reps every week
