Two self-guided plans, eight weeks each: a plan for every session, a plan for the weeks that go wrong and a tracker that shows your progress.

Why plans fail
Most people don't stop training because they're lazy. They stop because the plan relied on motivation, and motivation doesn't turn up every week.
The first two weeks feel easy. Then work, sleep and life get in the way, and there's nothing to fall back on.
Miss a day with no plan for it and the gap grows. A bad week turns into starting again from scratch.
Without a log, every session feels the same. You can't tell whether you're getting stronger, so it's easy to give up.

These are the actual pages and trackers you download. No mock-ups standing in for content that doesn't exist.

Free · 7 days
The First Week is a free 7-day starter: three short sessions you can do at home, a minimum session for bad days and a daily check-in card. No equipment, about 20–25 minutes a session. You'll also be first to hear when our clothing collection launches.
Who's behind it
I'm Edmund. I started Iron Must Obey around one idea: the mind commands, and the body obeys. Discipline isn't a mood you wait for. It's a decision you keep making, especially on the days you don't feel like it.
Before asking anyone to wear the name, I want to earn it. That's why the training programmes come first. Questions go straight to me: ek@ironmustobey.com.
The clothing
At its heart, Iron Must Obey is a clothing brand. The first collection is being made properly: premium garments, made well, worn hard and built to last, not rushed out as print-on-demand.
