Choose Your Starting Level
Not sure where to start? Start with the lowest level you can complete with controlled form. If a level feels too easy after a couple of weeks, move up. If it feels overwhelming, drop down one level and build confidence first.
Level 1
3 workouts per week 30 minutes per session
Start-from-zero basics. Wall push-ups, standing rows, chair-assisted lower body work, planks, and simple full-body strength fundamentals. Designed to feel approachable and safe.
Start Level 1
Level 2
3 workouts per week 30 minutes per session
Build consistency and coordination. You will practice the same core movement patterns with slightly more volume and control so your body adapts without feeling beat up.
Start Level 2
Level 3
3 workouts per week 30 minutes per session
Form and foundation phase. You will focus on cleaner reps, steadier tempo, and stronger positions so you can progress into harder push, pull, and leg variations.
Start Level 3
Level 4
3 workouts per week 30 minutes per session
Strength-building phase. Push-ups, rows, split squats, hip thrusts, and core work to build full-body strength with simple progressions.
Start Level 4
Level 5
3 workouts per week 30 minutes per session
Leg strength and stability focus. Bulgarian split squats and weighted lunges are introduced while you continue building upper-body pushing and pulling strength.
Start Level 5
Level 6
3 workouts per week 30 minutes per session
Control and tempo phase. Tempo push-ups, deficit lunges, and unilateral leg work to build stability and strength together.
Start Level 6
Level 7
3 workouts per week 30 minutes per session
Higher difficulty progressions. Decline push-ups, elevated rows, and more unilateral leg work. Conditioning is added in a controlled way to build strength and endurance.

Advanced bodyweight strength. Harder push-up progressions, controlled dips and rows, unilateral leg strength, and full-body finishers.
Start Level 8

Most challenging level. Advanced push-up variations, tempo rows and dips, weighted split squats and lunges, single-leg calf work, and conditioning finishers where control matters.
Start Level 9How the Levels Progress
Each level is designed to challenge you in a new way without relying only on heavier weight. Progress happens through:
- harder exercise variations
- better control and range of motion
- more stability and coordination
- gradually increased total work
This makes the program effective for both home training and gym training.
Use Your Workout Program Like an App
You can add your workout program to your phone home screen so it opens with one tap, like an app. This makes it easier to stay consistent and pick up where you left off.
Why This System Works
A workout program only works if you can stick with it.These levels are built for consistency first. The goal is not to destroy you in every session. The goal is to help you show up, practice the basics, and steadily build strength over time.
From a health and fitness standpoint, strength work at least 2 days per week is commonly recommended, and many beginners do well with 2 to 3 strength-focused sessions weekly.That is why these levels are built around 3 workouts per week with recovery built in.
Frequently Asked Questions
1.Who are these workout programs designed for?
These programs are for men who want a clear, structured path from beginner to advanced, with simple workouts and video guidance. Level 1 is designed for people starting from zero.
2. Do I need gym experience before starting?
No. The early levels assume no gym experience and no advanced knowledge. You just follow the videos and repeat the workouts each week.
3. How many days per week should I work out as a beginner?
For most beginners, 2 to 3 strength-focused sessions per week is a solid starting point. These programs use 3 workouts per week to build consistency while still allowing recovery.
4. How long are the workouts?
Most sessions take about 30 minutes. Some higher levels may take slightly longer depending on rest times and exercise count.
5. Can I follow these workouts at home?
Yes. Many levels can be done at home with minimal equipment. If a level includes gym movements, you can choose a home-friendly level or use the home program options.
6. What equipment do I need?
It depends on the level and whether you choose home or gym. Home levels are designed around bodyweight and simple setups. Gym levels may include machines or weights.
7. How do I know which level to start with?
Start with the lowest level you can do with controlled form. If you are new, start with Level 1. If you are returning after a long break, Level 1 or Level 2 is usually a safer re-entry.
8. What if I cannot do a push-up yet?
Start with the levels that include wall push-ups and easier progressions. The program is designed to build you toward full push-ups.
9. Is 30 minutes enough to see results?
Yes, if you are consistent. Short, repeatable sessions often work better than long workouts you cannot maintain. Public health guidance also supports that even one set can be beneficial when you are getting started.
10. Can I build muscle with bodyweight workouts?
Yes. Progressive overload can be achieved with bodyweight training by changing leverage, increasing control, adding reps, or using harder variations over time.
11. Can these workouts help with fat loss?
They can support fat loss by building muscle and increasing activity. Nutrition matters most for fat loss, but strength training is a strong complement.
12. What if I miss a workout?
Nothing breaks. Just continue where you left off. Consistency over months matters more than perfection in any single week.
13. What if I am returning after an injury?
Start at an easier level and stay in a pain-free range of motion. If you are unsure what movements are appropriate, check with a qualified clinician or physical therapist first.
14. Are these workout programs really free?
Yes. The workout programs and tools on the site are free to use.
