Perfect for someone who hates working out, has gym anxiety, and is getting back into weightlifting. I love how it reduces the burden of creating a well-rounded workout plan, is not a subscription, flexible, and built on function before aesthetics. If you go according to the schedule, it takes about 3 hours out of your week to complete which is quite minimal compared to other plans such as Pen & Paper. The YouTube videos are near perfect, the app is easy to use, and the PDF is great for workouts when WiFi or data is inaccessible.
My only 3 cons are about circuits, rest periods, and need for equipment. Circuits are hard to complete in a busy gym or if gassed; I noticed that in the Theory of Motion Blueprint PDF it explained that adapting to straight sets is just as good. I would add this advice to the Foundations PDF too. It’s also hard for beginners to understand how much of a rest period they need in between sets and a framework would be great to add. I also wish adaptations were created for when equipment is inaccessible.
The pros majorly outweigh the cons (which can be easily overcome) which is why I gave it 5 stars. Theory of Foundations’ philosophy aligns with mine and truly a star amongst an aesthetics-first culture.
