IFBB Pro Brett Wilkin - 2023 Off Season Olympia Prep - Legs, Delts, Arm focus (6X/week)

Most people never get to see what a pro actually does in the off season. They see the stage, then they guess.

This is not a guess. This is the block Brett Wilkin ran preparing for his 2023 Olympia debut, written by me, exactly as he trained it.

It is an advanced legs, delt and arm focus block built around high frequency work, real volume, and the proximity to failure Brett needed at the time. Six sessions a week, with legs and push hit twice.

No junk volume. No random exercises.

Just the real programming, for lifters who are ready to train like that.

The Actual Olympia Prep Block
This is not a program written to look like a pro program. It is the off season block Brett ran going into his 2023 Olympia debut, with the same structure, the same volume and the same exercise selection.
benefit-image-1
Legs, Delts And Arms Are The Priority
Legs get two sessions, push gets two, and arms close the week with a day of their own. Those were the priorities going into the show, so that is where the frequency and the volume go.
benefit-image-2
Six Sessions A Week, Built To Recover
Six days is a lot of training, so the work is spread deliberately across the week. Nothing is stacked in a way that leaves you buried, but this is an advanced load and it should be treated like one.
benefit-image-3
Written For A Pro, Adjustable For You
The rep ranges, working sets and proximity to failure were set for Brett at that point in his prep. You can run it as written or adjust slightly to your own recovery, and the notes tell you how.

Built In Logbook
Progression is planned, not guessed. Every lift is tracked, and your lifetime lift history is one tap away, so you always know exactly what you have to beat.

What are you waiting for?

You can keep guessing at what an off season is supposed to look like, or you can run the one that took a pro to his Olympia debut. It is written down, week by week, exactly as he trained it. This is that block.

FAQs
Who is this program best for?
Advanced lifters with real training experience who want legs, delts and arms to lead. It is a high volume six day block, so it assumes you can already recover from serious training.
Is this really the program Brett ran?
Yes. This is the off season block written for Brett Wilkin going into his 2023 Olympia debut, with the same structure, volume and exercise selection he trained.
Is this good for beginners?
No. This one is genuinely advanced. If you are newer, start with another Hypertrophy Coach program and come back to this when six hard sessions a week is realistic for you.
Do I need a full gym?
Effectively yes. You need barbells, dumbbells and a cable stack at minimum, and the leg and arm work goes much better with commercial machines available.
