What Up Jon!
Keep in mind the Scheduler is still in progress and will never be completely objective. You DEFINITELY do not want to wait til Jan to start your strength program.
You want to get started as soon as possible and progress to higher level strength programs by the time January hits. I believe your original intention is sound… Start Program.Zero in October… and follow it up with Program.One. October – March is going to be valuable time to develop that strength base…
What event are you peaking for in April if you don’t mind sharing…
