    Training for size, strength & power
    Ashley Jones

    I have often of late been asked to put some ideas down to develop a program to work on many aspects of the strength continuum, here is an amalgam of ideas for you to try, it of course sticks to the basics of compound movements combined with heavy weights, hard work is the key, heavy and basic is the mantra of success, just 2 days a week, if you want or need to train more frequently then you have not worked hard enough on the actual work days, it is an 8 month program, this program combined with the appropriate nutrition and recovery should produce results the likes you have never experienced before, good luck.

    Im about to start this program (size, strength & power – ashley jones) but im a little confused with the layout.

    i have perfromed all the exercises before however i am having trouble understanding what the Percentage Approx actually stands for? also in the sets/reps column, it states the sets and reps for the1st 2 weeks then underneath it, it has one single number, what does that represent? the amount of sets or reps im meant to do??

    some help would be great!
