This Get Back Plan was created by body transformation coach Diego Carrete. It’s been carefully designed for efficient, targeted gym workouts tailored to the unique needs of busy men.
The programme is 12 weeks long, and prioritises fundamental movement patterns, strategically engaging major muscle chains with optimal efficiency.
How does it work?
Each month of this plan is slightly different, with progressive overload built in to encourage muscle and strength progressions. Every week features three workouts: two full-body strength sessions, plus a high-intensity metabolic circuit for aerobic conditioning and fat loss. There is a slight modification of exercises throughout, to keep things fresh and prevent motivation from waning.
In Month 1, the emphasis is on hypertrophy and neuromuscular adaptation. With a rep range of 12-15, we prioritise range of motion, time under tension and technique. Rest intervals of 60-120 seconds facilitate optimal recovery.
The pyramid structure of the circuit protocol – performed once each week – progressively challenges cardiovascular pathways. In Month 1, you will work up to 5 reps of each exercise, before descending back down to 1.
Month 2 introduces a periodisation shift, lowering the rep range to 10-12, to elicit further strength gains while maintaining movement patterns. The inclusion of varied exercises enhances programme adherence, by introducing novel stimuli. The circuit progression advances to a peak of 10 reps of each exercise.
