SESSION DESIGN
These session templates show how individual ABEP exercises are combined into complete, purposeful training sessions.
Each session combines preparation, main work, and optional secondary elements.
Use them as practical building blocks when planning your weekly structure or training cycle.
These templates are building blocks. They are not meant to be used in isolation, but combined according to your weekly structure and current limiter.
