Everyone knows what a single, double, or triple is, but when it gets to "four," people suddenly develop weight training amnesia.
• You can build a solid foundation of strength and mass with a program based around sets of four. And it only requires four days a week of training.
• One of the biggest reasons people get stuck in a training rut is because they start implementing more exercises and more set and rep schemes. Their training starts to resemble that of a buffet more than a basic meal of steak and potatoes.
• Any time you find yourself frustrated by a plateau, the best thing you can do is eliminate all of the BS you've been doing and reel it back into simplicity. That's where the Primer 4 Program comes in.
