How to progress

The progression policy utilizes completion of every listed dose while following the observable drill cues as a self-check. If a player cannot complete the listed dose with those cues, they should repeat the same dose before adding speed, repetitions, or resistance. This is a practice recommendation, not a guarantee of readiness or results.
