Introduction
Welcome to Gym 101. This is a goal-first guide to training and nutrition for beginner-to-intermediate lifters.
Start with the result you want, then choose the smallest effective plan that moves you there. Apply enough of the right stimulus, recover, measure the result, and adjust. Specificity, progressive challenge, recovery, sound technique, consistency, and sustainable planning matter more than copying an elite athlete's routine.
These recommendations are educational, not medical care. If you are pregnant, under 18, managing an injury or illness, taking medication, or recovering from an eating disorder, seek qualified individual guidance.
