This is the routine for people who LIKE routine!
For the gym goers who want to be jacked, while also having the strength to back it up.
Consistent exercise selection, with only miniminal changes week to week means that you know what to expect and can focus on training hard and making steady, relentless improvement and progress towards your goals!
Focus: 4 days per week, Upper/Lower powerlifting/strongman style split with plenty of high volume and rep work to build work capactiy and push hypertrophy. Recommended percentages for the 'main' lifts week to week, with RIR for everything else.
This will have you working hard in a host of rep ranges and intensities, while also training you to get used to moving heavy weights!
