Anato-Me
This Anato-Me block is focused on hypertrophy. This is a 4 day half-body split which means that each day has some upper and some lower body exercises in it. A full week will hit each muscle group between 2-3 times. This means that the reps and sets given are purposeful to drive growth in lean muscle mass. Take warm-up sets as you need but the 3 sets given should feel hard and challenging. Rest with the time given, no less. Push yourself through these workouts but prioritize proper form. This will always trump higher weight and poor technique. Let's go!
