Start Here

Win week one. Then run MONTH ONE for the next thirty days.

Walking into a gym the first time is the hardest rep there is. You don’t know which machine is which, you don’t know what to do first, and you’re sure everyone can tell. So most guys do a couple of random sets, feel stupid, and don’t come back.

I started at 178 lbs with no idea what I was doing. I’m 240 now, built on the boring basics. THE FIRST 7 is the map I wish someone handed me on day one: the split, the lifts, the food, the gear, and your first week in the gym laid out day by day. It’s free, because day one shouldn’t cost a thing.

“The gym doesn't care how you feel today. It only responds to what you do right now, under this weight. That's the most honest thing I've ever found.”
What You Get

The complete beginner's guide — not a pep talk.

Everything you need to walk into a gym and know exactly what you're doing.

The Push / Pull / Legs Split

The 3-day split that builds beginners fast, and progressive overload — the one rule that makes muscle grow. Explained in plain language.

The 6 Big Lifts, Illustrated

Squat, bench, deadlift, overhead press, row, pulldown — each one illustrated, with setup, execution, and the mistakes that get beginners hurt.

Complete Workouts

Full Push, Pull, and Legs days with every exercise, sets, and reps written out. Walk in with the plan already made.

Eat To Build

How to eat to build muscle without overthinking it — your protein target, meat-and-potatoes meals, and a full day on a plate.

Gear & Supplements, Straight

What's worth your money (flat shoes, straps, headphones, creatine, protein) and the gimmicks to skip. No sponsor talk.

The 7-Day On-Ramp

Your first week in the gym, mapped day by day — what to do, what to lift, and how to leave every session having won.

Questions, answered.

Do I need a gym?+
Yes. This guide is built for the gym — barbells, dumbbells, machines, and iron you can add to. That's what builds a body, and the guide shows you exactly how to use it all from day one.
What exactly do I get?+
Instant download of THE FIRST 7 PDF: the Push/Pull/Legs split, the six big lifts illustrated with setup and mistakes to avoid, complete workouts with sets and reps, the diet, the gear guide, the supplements straight talk, and your first week mapped day by day. Free, yours for life.
I’m brand new to working out. Can I do this?+
It’s written for exactly you. Every lift is illustrated and explained like you’ve never seen a barbell, and the 7-day on-ramp tells you what to do each session so there’s nothing to figure out.
How many days a week is it?+
Three — Push, Pull, Legs, one round in your first week. That’s enough to learn every big lift and few enough that you’ll actually keep it. The rest days have a job too, and the guide tells you what it is.
Why is it free?+
Because day one shouldn’t cost anything. Somebody showed me the basics before I could pay them back — this is that, paid forward. If the week changes something for you, the full 30-day system and my coaching are here when you’re ready.
Still not sure?+
It’s free — there’s nothing to lose but the excuse. And when you finish Day 7 and want the full month, MONTH ONE (the complete 30-day system — gym program, tracker, and all) is right on my page. Questions first? DM me on Instagram @redemption_fit215 — I’ll give it to you straight.
