SHOW NOTES:
Part 3. > Exercise Selection, Sequencing and Progression Model
- Specific Goals Influence on These
- Exercise Selection & Goals:
- Strength: Compounds & Accessories that influence
- Hypertrophy: Compounds geared towards ROM and isolation
- Concurrent: Combination of all the above
- Exercise Sequencing & Goals:
- Almost always going to be the same process, because it’s designed to enhance performance and eliminate injuries.
- Progression Model & Goals:
- Strength: Linear
- Hypertrophy: Double Progression Model
- Concurrent: DUP or WUP
- Exercise Selection & Goals:
- Limb Length, Mobility, Experience, and Flexibility
- Height determines movement patterns and capabilities, limiting or changing exercise selection
- Squat example: Short femurs = high bar squat and trap bar deads, long femurs = low bar squat and sumo deads
- My Model: Example for both strength and hypertrophy in each
- Prime
- Explode
- Lift
- Stretch
- Fatigue

| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the tailored life podcast, the one and only fitness and nutrition podcast that goes way beyond just training and nutrition. |
| 0:14.6 | I'm your host, Cody McBroom, and today we have part three of the program design series. I'm really excited about this one. |
| 0:23.8 | As I said in the previous one, guys, if you haven't checked out part one and part two, |
| 0:28.7 | please do so. You don't necessarily need to listen to that before this one. So if you're |
| 0:32.5 | already listened to this and you're excited about what I'm going to get into, don't feel like |
| 0:35.7 | you absolutely need to stop this podcast right now. |
| 0:39.3 | Go get the other one and listen to that. However, I will say that they are in a specific order for a |
| 0:44.5 | specific reason. So we purposely put these in order of importance, right? Which is also why the first two |
| 0:52.3 | were fairly long. I'm going to try to keep this one around 30 |
| 0:56.1 | minutes. We'll see what happens. I said that about the last ones as well. And they were both about |
| 1:00.0 | an hour. But the first one was assessing the client and setting the goal slash timeline. So we covered |
| 1:06.6 | goal setting. We covered assessing the individual. We covered mobility and flexibility, instability, |
| 1:12.2 | and weaknesses, as well as injury prevention and posture, which also got into a bunch of different |
| 1:17.0 | things with RPE, taking sets to failure, power lifting versus bodybuilding, foam rolling, static |
| 1:24.6 | stretching, dynamic stretching, specificity of program design, realistic timelines of fat loss, |
| 1:29.2 | muscle growth, performance, so on and so forth. So a lot of detail there to start your journey. |
| 1:33.9 | Then part two, the following week, which was last week as you're listening to this, |
| 1:37.8 | we discussed determining volume, intensity, and frequency, which also gets into a pretty |
| 1:43.7 | large subset of categories. We dove into |
| 1:46.6 | how specificity determines the goal and how you prioritize your volume. More specifically, |
| 1:52.1 | how two-thirds of your volume should be dictated specifically to the primary goal you have. |
| 1:58.6 | However, you can do multiple things in a single training block. |
