- Periodization is key to progressive overload and avoiding plateaus.
- Variation in exercises is crucial for promoting overall athletic ability.
- Progressive overload is necessary for continued strength gains.
- Assessing Current Fitness LevelEvaluate current strength, mobility, and overall fitness level to determine a suitable starting point for the training program.Pro tipSeek professional help to accurately assess current fitness level.WarningIgnoring current fitness level can lead to injury or ineffective training.

An individual seeking to improve their strength and mobility may implement the Biblical Week Training Framework, incorporating a variety of exercises and progressive overload. They may start with the Big Three exercises (bird dogs, side planks, and modified abdominal curls) and progress to more challenging exercises, such as single-leg squats and balance boards.
Dr. McGill developed this framework based on his experience working with athletes and individuals seeking to improve their strength and mobility. He recognized the importance of periodization and progressive overload in achieving optimal results.
