The Continuous Plan

One plan for six months. It never restarts.

Most plans stall around week five, because week five looks exactly like week one. This one is built to keep moving.

Stalled at week five

The twelve-week PDF

You followed it, and around week five you stopped. By then it was identical to week one: same exercises, same weights, same targets.

Nobody read it

The app

A check-in form every Sunday that nobody read. If nothing happens because of what you wrote, it was a survey.

Broke on a weekend

The diet with the list

Foods you were not allowed. It held until the first weekend out, then the list broke and the plan went with it.

Three different things, one problem. None of them went anywhere, and none of them survived a bad week.

So here is how the Continuous Plan works

A bad week

When you have a bad week, we don't start over. We pick up where we left off.

Two sessions instead of four. A weekend away. A check-in that just says this week was rough. How many times have you started again? January. Monday. After the holiday. Six straight months of one plan is what has been missing.

01
Built around your actual week
Your training history, your gym, the equipment you have, the days you can genuinely train and the food you actually eat. Not what you wish you ate. Lower-body driven, with enough upper-body work that the shape balances out.
02
You train, and check in once a week
Training, nutrition, recovery and, honestly, what got in the way. Photos only if you want them.
03
Every week you move further down the plan
The progression is already written in: what goes up, and when. Your check-in decides whether you hold for another week or push on, so you are never in the gym guessing whether today is the day to add weight.

Also in the plan

Food you actually eat
Targets and a structure, with the food you actually eat inside it. No banned list, so there is nothing to fall off.
Technique coached, not assumed
You are told what to do, how to do it and why it is on the sheet. Nobody needs to turn up knowing what half the gym does.
Start from where you are
New to the weights section, or training hard for years while nothing changes. Either way, the plan starts where you are.
One to one, with capped spots

Meet your coach

Hi, I'm Dan.

I'm ISSA certified, but that's the least interesting thing. I owned a gym, so I spent years on the floor watching what people actually do with a plan, which is never what they say they'll do with it.

I compete in Classic Physique, so building a shape on purpose, not just training hard and hoping, is what I've spent the last decade on.

I coach one to one and I cap how many people I take, because reading check-ins properly takes real time. I'd rather do that well for fewer people than badly for more.
