This is a challenging high-volume program for lifters with a high tolerance to training volume.
It utilizes both chains and bands for some dynamic effort work as well as repeated maximum efforts on auxiliary exercises for building the bodies tolerance to maximal weights.
There are a few heavy duty, blood and guts inspired sets to failure for hypertrophy stimulation. There are also MetCon workouts on Wednesday and Saturday for core work and conditioning but these are considered optional.
This is a general program that can be used in a periodized training plan for a contest or as a lead in to a specialized training phase for weak point corrections.
