Greg NuckolsFor beginners or stalled lifters who can access full gym equipment and want strength and size gains.
Greg Nuckols designed this program for newcomers who want serious results without guesswork. Many beginners either copy advanced routines or increase weight too fast without foundation. This program offers a structured, low-complexity entry point using proven compound lifts and simple progression. It provides a path to add strength or muscle reliably while avoiding paralysis by choice and the common mistakes of early training.
프로그램 구성
It runs for 12 weeks at three full-body sessions per week. Each day combines barbell compounds with dumbbell and machine accessories. The program offers two intents: hypertrophy or strength. Progression is rep-based within defined rep-ranges. You keep the same weight and add reps weekly; once you exceed the top of the range, you raise weight next session. Alternative exercises are offered when equipment differs. Frequency is deliberately modest to recover well while training heavy lifts with quality execution.

Track loads and reps to enforce progressive overload. Sleep and nutrition matter because three full-body sessions accumulate fatigue. If joints complain, deload or swap a variation without ego. Stay consistent across all 12 weeks instead of restarting every time motivation dips. Use accessories to fill weak links, not to impress; the barbell compounds drive most gains in this phase.
