#18 - Training for "General Fitness:" Going Beyond the Strength Program

Not everyone wants to be a powerlifter, or a strength athlete, or, frankly, even to lift heavy weights past a certain point. If that's you, or someone you're working with, then it's important to understand that traditional strength programs like the Novice Linear Progression probably aren't a good fit. That doesn't mean that this population, the so-called "general fitness" population, can't get stronger and build a better physique. It just means their training needs to be structured in a way that hits on a wide variety of physical adapations -- strength, conditioning, hypertrophy, etc -- while staying fun. Andy and Dan share their strategies on programming for these clients, without compromsing on their core principles of strength and progressive overload.
