What a Week of Training at BMF Actually Looks Like

Walking into a new gym can feel intimidating.

Most people aren’t worried about working hard—they’re worried about not knowing what to expect.

  • “Am I going to keep up?”

  • “Is this too advanced for me?”

  • “What does a normal week even look like?”

At BMF Training, we remove that uncertainty on purpose.

Our Small Group Training is structured, coached, and scalable—so whether you’re brand new to strength training or an experienced athlete, you know exactly what you’re walking into.

Here’s what a real week of training at BMF actually looks like.

The Big Picture: How We Structure the Week

At BMF, training is built around strength, speed, and recovery—not random workouts.

A typical week includes:

  • 4 strength training sessions (Max Effort & Dynamic Effort)

  • 2–3 Zone 2 conditioning days on non-lifting days

  • Intentional rest built into the schedule

Each session has a clear goal. Nothing is accidental.

Max Effort vs Dynamic Effort (In Plain English)

You’ll hear these terms a lot at BMF—but they’re simpler than they sound.

Max Effort Days

Purpose: Build maximal strength

These sessions focus on one primary lift performed with challenging (but safe) loads.

Examples include:

  • Squat variations

  • Deadlift or hinge variations

  • Bench press or overhead press variations

  • Heavy rows or pull-ups

What it looks like in practice:

  • Fewer main exercises

  • Longer rest between sets

  • High coaching attention to technique

The goal is quality, not exhaustion.

Dynamic Effort Days

Purpose: Build speed, power, and athleticism

Instead of grinding heavy reps, dynamic effort days focus on:

  • Moving lighter loads fast

  • Explosive intent

  • Clean, repeatable movement

Examples include:

  • Speed squats or deadlifts

  • Speed bench or push presses

  • Jumps, throws, sled work

These days help you:

  • Move better

  • Recover faster

  • Feel athletic—not beat up

What a Sample Week Looks Like

Here’s a common 4-day strength setup, with conditioning on separate days:

Monday – Max Effort Lower
Heavy lower-body lift, followed by targeted accessories

Tuesday – Dynamic Effort Upper
Speed-based upper lifts, shoulder health, arm work

Wednesday – Zone 2 Conditioning
Low-intensity aerobic work at a conversational pace

Thursday – Dynamic Effort Lower
Speed lower-body lifts, unilateral work, jumps or sleds

Friday – Max Effort Upper
Heavy upper-body lift with focused accessories

Saturday – Zone 2 Conditioning
Higher intensity aerobic work followed by mobility work

Sunday – Optional aerobic work or active recovery

Conditioning days help you recover for strength training—not take away from it.

Conditioning at BMF (It’s Not Random Cardio)

Conditioning at BMF is programmed with intention.

Most athletes perform 2–3 Zone 2 sessions per week, which may include:

  • Sled pushes or drags

  • Assault bike or rower at an easy pace

  • Incline treadmill walking

  • Tempo runs or long carries

These sessions are:

  • 20–40 minutes

  • Nasal breathing or conversational pace

  • Low joint stress

  • High Volume Band finishers

The goal is to build an aerobic base that improves recovery, work capacity, and long-term health.

Coaching Cues & Modifications (This Is Where BMF Stands Out)

Every session at BMF is coached.

That means:

  • Technique cues tailored to you

  • Real-time feedback on reps

  • Adjustments based on how you move—not just the program

If you have:

  • A previous injury

  • Limited mobility

  • A bad day or low energy

We modify:

  • Range of motion

  • Load

  • Exercise selection

  • Volume

You’re never expected to force a movement that doesn’t fit your body.

That’s how people stay consistent—and injury-free.

Who Training at BMF Is For

BMF Training isn’t just for one type of person.

It’s for:

  • Beginners who want coaching, structure, and confidence

  • Busy professionals who need efficient, results-driven sessions

  • Parents who want to train hard without wrecking their bodies

  • Athletes who want to get stronger, faster, and more resilient

Every workout is scalable.

The same session can challenge a first-time lifter and a competitive athlete—because intensity is individualized.

A week at BMF isn’t about crushing yourself.

It’s about:

  • Training with purpose

  • Getting stronger week after week

  • Recovering well

  • Feeling athletic and capable

You’ll know what you’re doing, why you’re doing it, and how it fits into the bigger picture.

If you’re tired of guessing and want coaching that meets you where you’re at, this is what training at BMF looks like.

And it works.

Because everyone deserves to be an athlete.
