Full-Body Foundation

You have a gym membership and no idea what to do with it. That's exactly who this is for. Four weeks, three days a week, full body every session. Every workout trains all five patterns that matter — squat, hinge, push, pull, and core — so nothing gets neglected and you're never guessing what to do next. WHAT MAKES THIS DIFFERENT FROM A RANDOM SPLIT: you learn the movements before you load them. Week 1 is dumbbells and machines only — goblet squats, dumbbell Romanian deadlifts, dumbbell bench. Week 2 puts you under a barbell for the first time on all three big lifts. Week 3 is your heaviest work, ending each session with an AMRAP set so you find out what you're actually capable of. Week 4 tests a true 5-rep max on squat, deadlift, and bench — one lift per session, with real ramp-up sets and a hard rule about stopping when form breaks. WHY THE TEST WEEK MATTERS: you finish this program with three real numbers. Enter them in your profile and every workout SwoleX builds for you from then on prescribes actual weights instead of guessing. It's also the exact entry point for Foundation Squat, Foundation Bench, and Foundation Deadlift if you want to specialize on a lift that needs work. Every exercise has step-by-step form notes written for someone who has genuinely never done it. Percentages are handled for you — the app shows a suggested weight per set based on your profile, and you adjust from there. Safety cues are called out where they matter: spotter or safety pins on bench, stop the set if your back rounds on deadlifts. EQUIPMENT: a standard commercial gym. Barbell and rack, a bench, dumbbells, a cable stack, leg press, and a lat pulldown. Substitutions are noted where a machine might be missing (trap bar, assisted pull-up). SCHEDULE: 3 days a week with at least one rest day between sessions. Monday / Wednesday / Friday works well, or Tuesday / Thursday / Saturday. Sessions run 45-60 minutes. Do not train two days back to back in week 3 or 4 — the heavy work needs the recovery day.
