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.
