Science of Program Design

Prerequisites: Structural Assessment
Duration: 3 days
Course Instructor: Carlos Castro

Software: This class comes with three months access to the training software.

Regardless of what your client’s goal is, a properly designed training program will produce better results in a shorter amount of time.

Doing so will improve your reputation as a personal trainer/strength coach making you an asset to your clients.

Designing results producing training programs requires proper planning and the precise use of the different loading parameters; sets, reps, tempo, rest intervals, and others. In this class you will learn how to write effective training programs, keeping in mind the relationships and interactions between the different loading parameters and your client’s needs.

First Day: Mastering the prescription of SETS and REPS
The training/practical sessions are specifically designed to understand how reps and sets can be manipulated to achieve specific training goals. You will master the concept learned in the class and you will learn the proper technique and variations of different exercises.

Definitions and key concepts
Practical session – Application of the key concepts
Understanding loading parameters: SETS and REPS
Practical session – Application of the loading parameters learned
Recapitulation and Q&A

Second Day: Mastering the prescription of TEMPO, TIME UNDER TENSION, and REST INTERVALS
The training/practical sessions are specifically designed to understand how tempo and rest intervals can be manipulated to achieve specific training goals. You will learn the concept of how tempo is actually specific to exercise selection. You will master how rest intervals can affect hormonal and neurologic output.

Understanding loading parameters: TEMPO and TUT
Practical session – Application of the loading parameters learned
Understanding loading parameters: REST INTERVALS
Practical session – Application of the loading parameters learned
Recapitulation and Q&A

Third Day: Mastering the interactions between the loading parameters
The training/practical sessions are specifically designed to reinforce how the loading parameters interact in between them and how their variations affect the output of the training program.
Understanding loading parameters: INTERACTIONS
Practical session – Application of the loading parameters learned
