Every movement, in order

Each lift with its working sets and target, in the order you run them. The coach sets the loads from your training and moves them up as the work gets easier.

When to reach for this template

Deadlift is the load anchor: dead-stop reps, no touch-and-go; cap the top set at RPE8 and end it early if bar speed drops or the lumbar rounds rather than grinding. Hold deadlift e1RM flat within a week. Subs: seated DB press for the military press at ~same RPE; pull-ups for the pulldown (drop to AMRAP if bodyweight exceeds the prescribed reps); hack or goblet squat for the leg press at matched RPE. Curl and pushdown may be paired back-to-back to save rest without bleeding into the heavy work. Equipment swaps. No machines: Leg Press -> a dumbbell goblet squat or a weighted walking lunge. No cable stack: Triceps Pushdown - Rope Attachment -> a band pushdown anchored overhead; Wide-Grip Lat Pulldown -> a band lat pulldown anchored overhead, or chin-ups if you have a bar. No dumbbells: Dumbbell Bicep Curl -> a band curl, or a curl on a loaded backpack handle. In every case match the prescribed effort, not the implement: choose a load, band tension, tempo or pace that puts each set on the target RPE or duration.

05FAQ

Common questions

The facts most people check before they drop this session into a week.

01When should I use the Minimalist Full Body B template?

Deadlift is the load anchor: dead-stop reps, no touch-and-go; cap the top set at RPE8 and end it early if bar speed drops or the lumbar rounds rather than grinding. Add it to your week in Squatly and the coach schedules it, sets the loads from your training, and tells you when to move up.

02How many working sets is Minimalist Full Body B, and how long does it take?

Minimalist Full Body B runs 6 movements and about 18 working sets, roughly 78 minutes once warm-ups are in. The full per-exercise scheme — sets, reps or RPE, and rest — is in the session table above.
