This is a hybrid program of strength work and quality hypertrophy work to use as an off-season phase for a powerlifter or more of an overall strength program for someone looking to add a lot of muscle through heavy training. This program is designed to get you accustomed to heavy training with the Big 3, and variations using % based programming and RPE programming for the hypertrophy work. Expect to build a lot of muscle while building quite a TON of strength along with it! The way the program is designed is that the first three weeks are an acclamation phase, where you're not training ALL out and just setting up momentum for the final four weeks where the training will be quite intense.
