Building a phase from scratch can sometimes feel like a huge time-consuming task. This article will walk you through the steps to create your phases quickly and easily. When editing, building, and viewing your phase overview you can choose to see a Week View or a Load Progression View.

Let's start from the basics. You will first add a phase and create a name. For this example, I am creating a Volleyball In-Season program. I am naming the phase "Intro to Strength." This phase will be 4 weeks in length and have 3 training days.

I am going to build out each block one day at a time and add in the exercises in the order in which I want them. I will continue working from the Week View. (As labeled in the top right corner of the screen)

Next, I will make sure the appropriate parameters are in place before I add any metrics. This will make the following steps a lot easier to edit. When all of the exercises are added in, the parameters are set, and I am happy with the way it looks then I will go ahead and clone the weeks. I will clone the entire week to total 4 weeks.

Now that I've created the 4-week phase, I will be ready to add in the metrics to progress the training. From here, I will switch to Load Progression View. (You can toggle between Week View and Progression View in the upper right corner of your browser)

This will give me a view of all 4 weeks while still focusing on Day 1.

I can now go in and add the load prescriptions, rest time, etc to progress the training to best fit the needs of my athletes.

Now you will be able to see your workouts progress week-by-week.

The Week View is perfect for building out the outline of your training program. We recommend you use this view first when building your phase.

The Load Progression View will help you to enter metrics and make edits to your program across multiple weeks of your phase duration.
