Online strength-training course

You didn’t stop training hard. Your week stopped working.

A calm, structured way to rebuild your training week so progress has somewhere to come from: warm-ups, working sets, overload, deloads, and turning up on the bad weeks. For lifters who are years in and months flat.

The outcome

By the time you finish, this is simply how you train.

A week you can repeat

One page: the days you really have, the lifts that carry the block, and the order they go in.

A first set that feels like your third

A short warm-up ramp that gets you to your working weight rehearsed instead of spent.

Overload without guessing

A written rule for when the weight goes up, so the decision is made before you walk in.

Easy weeks you plan

A deload in the calendar before you need it, and a calm way back after time off.

The curriculum

Six modules, from a flat year to a week that goes somewhere.

19 short lessons, 2.9 hours in all. Watch at your own pace, on any device, forever.

Your instructor

Dane Holloway

Strength coach & founder of Third Set

Dane spent eleven years coaching in a single barbell gym, mostly working with people who were long past their beginner year and quietly frustrated. He teaches the unglamorous half of training: the shape of a week, the rule that decides when weight goes on the bar, and the easy weeks that make the hard ones count. Third Set is where he writes it all down.

What lifters say

From people who were stuck.

Illustrative reviews, written for this demo, not real customers.

★★★★★
Six years of training and I had never written anything down. The one-page week took me twenty minutes to build, and it is the first time I have known exactly what I am doing on a Tuesday.
Ryan T.
★★★★★
The warm-up lesson was the surprise. I was doing about nine sets of nothing before every squat session. Four rungs and a timer, and my first working set feels completely different.
Aisha K.
★★★★★
What I actually needed was the progression rule written next to the lift. I stopped deciding in the moment, and all the arguing with myself in the gym just stopped.
Dev M.

Questions

Before you start.

Do I need a full gym?

A barbell, plates, and a rack cover almost everything here. Where a lift needs equipment you may not have, the course gives a dumbbell or machine stand-in that lets you run the same week and log the same numbers.

I have trained for years. Is this too basic?

It is built for exactly that person. The beginner questions are assumed answered: this is about structuring a week, running progressive overload properly, warming up without wasting yourself, and planning easy weeks. Module 1 is a diagnosis, not an introduction.

How many days a week does this need?

Three is enough to run everything in the course, and Module 3 is largely about building around the days you genuinely have rather than the days you wish you had. Four and five day weeks are covered too.

Is this a nutrition or medical program?

No. It teaches training craft: technique, programming, progression, and consistency. It is not medical, nutrition, or rehabilitation advice, and it does not prescribe diets or make claims about your health. For anything in that territory, talk to a qualified professional.

How long do I have access, and what if it is not for me?

Access is for life, so you can work through it at your own pace and come back at the start of any new block. Finish the first module and if it is not worth it, email for a full refund. No hard feelings.

One page, six modules, and a week you will actually run.
