What’s Included

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.

If you have any other questions, please feel free to reach out to my coaching support team at any time.

Great program

I started using the Fundamentals program 7 weeks ago, doing the full body split, and it's been great. I needed something to get me training consistently, and more structure than "do the machines until you're tired." I haven't been fully following the RPE: at the start I didn't know what I could do, and there are some exercises where the last set fails 1-2 reps shy of the program; but that's on me.

That said, I've definitely made gains on this. My squat went up 80 lbs, dead lift gained 30, and my bench we don't talk about. Once I got the exercises figured out, it's been a consistent hour and a half in the gym which let's me work out then get on with my day.

Tldr: pros are everything Jeff lists. Cons: no rep ranges. All in all, great structure and to have ~6 months of workouts made for you it's well worth the money

Fundamentals

I have been training off and on for many years, but took around 5 years off from gym due to various reasons. I started this program to rebuild on the fundamentals and redevelop the basics. So far it has been excellent, very well thought out and rounded, great focus on compound exercises and a huge amount of helpful tips. Excellent program for those who may have been out of the gym for a while and want something to help get them back in.

A great program for beginners and intermediate lifters!

This program is such a great value. The best value for me was that Jeff’s materials gave me an understanding of how to plan and execute effectively. I got some great results, and now I know how to keep pushing to the next level!
