Build muscle and strength at the same time. This 12-week program uses Undulated Periodization to alternate between muscle-building and strength phases throughout the program — giving your body a broader training stimulus than linear programming alone.
Four days per week in an Upper/Lower split, every working set uses the 40X0 tempo prescription — a 4-second eccentric followed by an explosive concentric. This builds the structural integrity and muscle control that fast, sloppy reps never will.
Unlike the Linear program where exercises repeat for 6 straight weeks, Undulated Periodization rotates the stimulus while keeping the intensity climbing. Your body is constantly adapting, which means consistent progress in both size and strength across all 12 weeks.
Training intensity runs between 70–83% of your estimated max — heavy enough to drive real strength adaptations, controlled enough to prioritize movement quality throughout.
