Barbell club October 2025
Welcome to the October 2025 Barbell Club Program
People of Momentum Training, October is here and we’re still lifting some heavy tin and building serious muscle and tone.
We’re sticking to the simple, no-nonsense 2-day split. As always, you’ll ideally run through it once or twice a week. Each program has a slight bias, but we’re still focused on a whole-body approach.
We’re starting with some solid 5×5 work, followed by either a drop set or a ME banded set on your pull-ups. From there, we move on to our tried-and-tested superset, where you alternate lifts from upper to lower body. When you get to your final set, make your choice — smoke your legs or your arms, your call.
Trust the process. No fluff, no frills, no circus tricks — just solid, focused training done with intent and intensity. Then… you do it again.
