SMART IRON Gym Workout Plans 4+

Relationship Between Repetitions and Strength Qualities:
• Relative Strength: 1-5 repetitions;
• Functional Hypertrophy: 5-8 repetitions;
• Hypertrophy: 8-12 repetitions;
• Strength Endurance: 12-25 repetitions.

Almost all people are genetically unique, so it is almost impossible to create a universal training program that will work for everyone. If you look at the training plans of some professional athletes, you can see how simple they are, but that doesn't mean they are perfect. This tells us that these athletes are genetically gifted and simple training programs are enough for them. The bulk of people have to train much harder to get results.

Our workout plans may seem like overkill to some, but we have tried to make them as universal as possible. All we're saying is that the only way to find out if they work for you is to try them.

Since the app’s algorithm automatically calculates and cycles the load, you no longer need to worry about how many sets and repetitions to do today or what weight to use for a specific exercise.

How to Use:
• You can skip the preparatory period if there hasn’t been a significant break in your training;
• Always warm up at the beginning of your workout, for example, with 15 minutes of cardio;
• Perform a warm-up set at 50% of your working weight before each exercise;
• Cool down with stretching at the end of your workout;
• If you find it challenging, consider the following:
- Reduce the weight by 10RM (repetition maximum);
- Increase the rest interval between workout days (use periodization settings for convenience);
- Disable progressive overload;
• If needed, take a weekly break between training cycles.

Workout Programs

3-Day Training Plan

This basic training plan aims for a harmonious development of fundamental strength qualities, including muscle mass gain, overall strength, and strength endurance. The plan divides strength qualities development periods into mesocycles, which are further broken down into microcycles using undulating load periodization.

2-Day Training Plan

Designed for individuals who cannot train three times a week but still need to maintain their fitness level. If your goal is maximum effective strength development, consider using the 3-day training plan.

8-Week Fat-Burning Workout Plan

Developed for highly effective fat burning (cutting). Since extreme weight loss can lead to muscle loss along with fat, this program alternates fat-burning workout days with strength training days to protect muscle mass. You can use this plan independently or as the final mesocycle of the 3-day training plan. If your goal is gradual weight loss, prefer the 3-day training plan and a proper diet.
