EXPLORING PERSIST

Are you new to Functional Bodybuilding training? You can find an introduction to training in the Start Here/FBB 101 workshop in the app. These 8 workouts will show you how to train with tempo, choose loads, and more. From there, head to Pump Lift 3x or whichever track you like.

 

For best results, we recommend sticking with one track for at least a 6 week training cycle as the training is progressive. But if you’d like to mix tracks for variety, exploration, or incorporating minimalist training, you are also welcome to do so. PUMP LIFT and PUMP CONDITION are similar enough to mix and match daily.
