This program is designed to get you stronger every month that you run it. The primary focus is on the core lift of each day (Squat, Bench, OH Press & Deadlift), followed by 3 accessories each session. You will warm up each day as needed, including lighter sets of the main lift until you work up to your prescribed workload. It is recommended you work on mobility for 10 minutes following each session. If you have glaring weaknesses, swap some of the accessory exercises to attack those weaknesses. If you must change the schedule, do not lift more than 2 days in a row. For this program to be most effective you will want to have a good idea of your working max for the 4 primary lifts, this program is % based and proven to make you strong!
