This is the most training week I will put anyone on. If your life has six days in it and the recovery to match, it is also the most you will get out of a week.
Half Body A/B/C is upper and lower, three times each. Six sessions, everything trained three times a week.
It runs an A/B/C rotation: three different upper days and three different lower days, so no session ever repeats. This is peak frequency and volume for most people, which is exactly why it needs the time and the recovery to back it.
No junk volume. No random exercises.
Just the most complete week I know how to build, for lifters who can actually take it.

Olympian Coach | Educator | 20+ years of coaching experience I have coached thousands of lifters and competitors and specialize in building muscle through intelligent programming, not guesswork. Half Body A/B/C is the most training week I will put anyone on, and it is only for people who can recover from it.
Six days a week only works if it is organized properly. Otherwise it is just a lot of tired. Upper and lower three times each, six distinct sessions, every variable already decided. This is that plan.
