The Strength and Hypertrophy Basics program was built for those looking to transition from some basic weightlifting workouts to a structured plan that will build on the fundamentals for some serious strength and muscle gains. This program is also a great "back to the basics" program for those that have been lifting seriously for a while but need to refocus or restart their domination in the gym. What makes this program standout from all of the others? We include a FREE mobility session with each day of the program. You won't find this with any other programs at this price! Although it is recommended to use this at the beginning of your training session (especially those lifting early in the day), you can still train mobility whenever it works for you. With this, you get access to video demonstrations for each mobilization and exercise selected for this program. What are you waiting for? Let's get to it!

FAQs
Who should use this program?
Built from a foundational framework, this program was designed for the gym goer looking to formalize their training program or transitioning from the basic gym workout to a more formal bodybuilding focused workout. This also works for anyone looking to get toned or pack on some muscle.
Do I need to have access to equipment?
Although with a little knowledge you could adapt most movements to a non-equipment workout, access to commercial style gym equipment is highly recommended to see the most value from this program. The mobility aspects of the program can mostly be completed without equipment.
How many days per week is this program? Can I switch workout days?
6 days per week are programmed with one of those days being a mobility and cardio day. Since the days are assigned with purpose especially regarding recovery, it is not recommended to rearrange the order of the workout each week.
