Training Base Principles
A useful base starts with a warm-up, controlled reps, progressive overload, and conditioning that does not wreck recovery. Leave ego lifting out of the first layer.
Train patterns: squat, push, pull, hinge, carry, and walk capacity. Increase load, reps, or duration gradually when technique stays clean.
Recovery is part of the plan. Stop for sharp pain, dizziness, chest discomfort, or unusual symptoms, and seek guidance when needed.

Base Sessions
Strength Base
Warm-up 5 minutes. Squat 3x6, push 3x8, pull 3x8, hinge 3x6, carry 4x30 seconds. Modify with bodyweight, bands, or lighter loads.
Conditioning Base
Walk intervals: 3 minutes easy, 1 minute brisk, repeat 6 rounds. Step-ups or low-impact cardio can replace brisk walking. Keep breathing controlled.
Compact Base
12-minute no-equipment session: sit-to-stand, incline push-up, hip hinge, dead bug, loaded carry substitute. Cycle calmly for quality reps.

Training Base Rate
Formula: completed_training_sessions / planned_training_sessions * 100.
Worked example: 2 of 3 = 67%.
Category mapping: 0–49% = restart week, 50–79% = base forming, 80–100% = consistent training base.
Stop for sharp pain, dizziness, or chest discomfort.
