ISC Gym has developed a new Hypertrophy programme to not only help people build muscle, but also add variety and consistency to their training.
Increase muscle mass
Build connective tissue
Improve strength
Increase numbers
Gain muscle tone and confidence
Work hard and build consistency
The programme is 12 x weeks in duration with 4 x sessions planned each week (2 x lower body and 2 x upper body). The sessions themselves are progressive as the weeks go one, and each participant will not only find themselves improving week by week but will be able to track it too.
Each workout has a main lift focus followed by specific accessory work to ensure that the whole body is challenged for the duration of the 12 x weeks.
With specific guidance on lifting technique, tempo and rest periods this programme ensures that everything is done to assist constant improvement throughout.
