Strength Training Protocol

Purpose

Maintain and build functional strength. Physical capacity is the foundation — if the body breaks, nothing else runs.

Progressive Overload Rules

  • Add 2.5-5 lbs per week on compound lifts when all sets are completed
  • If you miss reps 2 sessions in a row, deload 10% and rebuild
  • Track every session in this domain folder as a log entry

Recovery

  • Sleep: minimum 7 hours (tracked via watch)
  • Protein: 1g per lb bodyweight
  • Rest days: active recovery only (walks, stretching)
