In this episode, we are talking about Programming Frequency of Training. This is a huge step in building our program. It forces us to organize how to distribute exercises and subsequently volume and intensity throughout the week.

In this episode, we are going to be diving into evaluation for programming. One central question we will ask is, if the testing does not impact your programming decisions, why test?

We need to find out two things: what exercises can we do and how do associate variables with them? Considerations for baseline testing are group size, how long we have to train each day and over how long of a period, and pre and post-testing or integrating into training-based testing.
