The 1x20 method is a highly effective and time-efficient training program for beginners, athletes who are in-season or just finished their season, or anyone looking to enhance overall fitness while minimizing recovery demands. The key is its simplicity to develop a well-rounded general base.
This 6-week program is built around the 1x20 method, a proven approach for developing strength, power, and durability while minimizing fatigue. You'll perform one set of 20 controlled reps for each exercise, focusing on full range of motion and perfect technique. Over the 6 weeks the reps will progressively decrease while the weight will increase.
