You Will Also Get

Program Explained: the science behind the program (26 scientific references)

This section of the program explains exactly what is wrong with most popular training programs and why the fundamentals method is more effective. It also explains the program’s details like volume, intensity and frequency in simple, science-based terms.

In case there are any exercises you’re not sure how to perform, I’ve included demo videos for every exercise.

There are also technique cues from me within the program itself so you’ll know exactly how to tweak the form for best results during training.

  • Exact sets (warm up & working), reps, exercises and rest times
  • A complete warm up routine
  • Tracking sheet within the program
  • LSRPE tracking for accountability (how hard was your LAST set?)
  • Coaching notes from me: technique and mind-muscle connection cues for every exercise

This program is NOT just an eBook. In addition to everything above, you also get a full excel sheet that includes boxes for tracking weights on every exercise

  • Anatomy and biomechanics section
  • A complete FAQ’s section
  • Training support & customer service

WHAT YOU WILL NEED

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Yes! If you are still in your first year or two of training, this program was made for you.

Yes! Anyone who is looking to build muscular size and strength will benefit from this program. This program will build all the muscles of the entire body proportionally. If you’re looking for a little more focus on lower body or glutes, you can check out my Women’s Specialization Program or Glute Hypertrophy Program.

Because of the Exercise Substitutions section, it is doable. For example, if you can’t bench press, you can replace the bench work in this program with dumbbell press, machine chest press or dips and run the rest of the program as is. If you can’t deadlift, you can replace the deadlift work with hip thrusts and/or lower back extensions. If you can’t squat, you can replace the squat work with front squats, hack squats or leg press. If you buy the program and aren’t sure if you can tweak it to fit your needs, feel free to reach out to my coaching support team and we will help you adjust the program or offer a refund if it ends up being unsuitable for you. However, because one of the main objectives of this program is to increase strength on the Big Three lifts, if you’re unable to perform any of those lifts, this is not the best program for you at this time. I suggest you consider running one of my other programs instead. Feel free to try my free program selector to find which program is best for you.

There are three separate 8-week splits included. The Full Body Split will have you in the gym 3 days per week, the Upper/Lower Split will have you in the gym 4 days per week and the Bodypart Split will have you in the gym 5 days per week. All three splits use similar exercises and volumes, so you can run whatever split best suits your schedule. You also have the option to run all three splits one after another.

You only need a power rack, barbell, bench and (ideally) some dumbbells to run this program. Because there are exercise substitutions included for every exercise, you can run this program with basic lifting equipment and can tailor it to fit your situation. To run the program exactly as written (without any substitutions) however, you would need gym access as there are a few cable and machine exercises included as well.

Fundamentals Hypertrophy Program Review

It's great and really helps.
My biggest problems was in the gym were what exercise to do next, how much reps to do, how much time take to rest between sets. The program helps to focus on the workout, and make me consistent with working out.

Great Program for New-ish beginners!

This program would be a challenge for someone completely new to weightlifting, so I recommend starting with a coach or a friend to help you get started. I'm 36 and a woman, and I have years of on-and-off experience with lifting, so this program was perfect for me. I was looking for something that covers all the basics, and is consistent and easy to follow and track. I've never followed a plan before, and 4 weeks in I'm getting bored but that is a challenge I was looking forward to (sticking to a plan until the end). I like that there are choices of different splits. All the supplemental information that Jeff has available on the website and on Youtube has helped me a lot. I'm stronger and more disciplined than I've ever been! Thanks Jeff!

Great beginner program.

Still giving it five stars because it is a perfect beginner program. That said, the perfect beginner program is pretty much discovered and you can find this exact program for free all over the internet in fitness groups. It's as generic as they come. What sets it apart is the included educational materials and the links to the form videos, though I do think the bench press form video is a little extra considering the beginner audience. I am curious if Jeff would agree that you can achieve that same form with less acrobatics. I start with my feet planted and neck below the bar and then slide forward until my head is in the right spot. This adds the arch to my back without the Cirque du Soleil.

I am interested in trying a more advanced program after a few more weeks of this.

It is effective. All of my compound lifts have been made stronger.

Multiple people have told me I look bigger! Been a huge help leading someone who had NO idea what they were doing to start going to the gym!
