Details Matter
Each principle is explained in detail, with Coach Dale tailoring the context to suit your interest and clientele. Each and every learning point is accompanied by example after example to ensure maximum retention.
Every lesson will build on the next. As your knowledge progresses, you will practice integrating the new knowledge into programs designed specifically for your clientele.
Your Program Design Mentor is with you, every step of your development.
Each video call un-packs a new element of program design, although the course content is fluid depending on the needs of the student. Each module explains the physiological impacts of each parameter, then dives into the multiple factors that influence each change.
We introduce you to the course content and discover your level of program design ability, before tailoring the course to your needs.
We unpack the fundamentals of strength training theory, before exploring one of the most important aspects of advance program design; Repetition selection.
You will learn how to select the appropriate repetition and rep scheme for each individual, based on factors such as the strength and training age of the client, the client’s muscle fiber make-up, exercise selection and program goal.
Coach Dale will enhance your understanding of complex rep schemes, and help you integrate advanced methods such as ascending and descending rep schemes, wave loading, stage sets and cluster training into your programs.
Exercise Selection can make your clients success, or break them, literally.
Learn how to optimize your client’s movement ability and progress, by selecting the right exercises. Discover how to determine what movements are weak and need to be prioritized, and how to design programs aimed at alleviating structural imbalances.
Dale will provide you with comprehensive testing protocols to enable you to select the appropriate exercise battery, no matter what the client’s level.
Lastly, Dale will provide you with the exact exercise progressions that will enable your clients to obtain success, from achieving their first chin up in record time, to developing the perfect full range squat.
This module follows on from the knowledge obtained in selecting the correct repetitions and exercises, where you will learn the correct number of sets to implement for all circumstances, from developing strength endurance to enhancing maximal strength and hypertrophy.
Along with rest periods, tempo is one of the most neglected components of advanced program design.
Learn how the concentric, eccentric, and isometric components of each rep contribute to strength and hypertrophy development, along with how to manipulate each for maximal results.
Rest periods matter just as much as any other loading parameter. Learn how they reflect the rep range, and exercise selection, along with how to implement changes to enhance strength increases, hypertrophy results or fat loss.
Learn what impacts training split selection, and how and when to use them. Coach Dale will work with you to determine the right training split for your clients, no matter what their schedule or goals.

Many experienced coaches, whilst possessing a vast array of tools, lack a way of quantifying the many methods they have. As a consequence, programming is performed in a haphazard manner, with protocols being used without a logical system to follow.
Coach Dale will help develop that system. By quantifying each parameter, you will learn how to select the right protocols, based on the timing in the periodization scheme. Not only will you learn how, when and why to use the most advanced of methods, program writing will become systematic, both optimizing your client results, and saving time.
