FAQ

What are the numbers and letters before the exercise name?

This is the exercise order for the day. Exercises that share the same number and have letters (Ex. 3A and 3B) are meant to be supersetted.

What does the ‘e’ stand for in 5e?

e stands for “each leg” or “each arm”. You’ll see this on single arm and single leg exercises.

What does the “% / lbs” column mean?

This is the percentage of your max prescribed for this set. If this box is empty, select an appropriate weight based on your strength.

Real Results

“When I played at Temple, Coach Horton played a big role in helping me plan my conditioning and nutrition.
His coaching is one of the reasons that I learned how to train and take care of my body properly. I still use a lot of his advice and coaching points in the NFL today.”
