In the next 8 weeks, build a bigger, wider, more complete physique... with the training frequency and structure most never have.

Most guys spend years in the gym making the same three fundamental mistakes:

1) Training with inadequate effort to stimulate real growth.

2) Training 5 days a week on a body-part split that hits each muscle once, and leaving most of their growth on the table.

3) Following programmes designed by people who’ve never read a study in their life.

That ends with HY-APEX.

Every session within HY-APEX is engineered around a hybrid Upper/Lower and Push/Pull structure that trains every muscle at least twice per week. Every session is short enough to remain high-quality and hard enough to force adaptation. On top of that, I’ve built in a deliberate delt priority to widen your frame and sharpen your V-taper.

Every movement is designed around precise biomechanics, so you’re stimulating the exact tissue you’re trying to build. From there, I’ve layered in tempo manipulation and progressive overload techniques your body cannot ignore. Not because it’s “trendy”... but because the data says it works... and your muscles have no choice but to respond.

5 days a week. Every muscle, twice. Zero wasted sessions.

In the next 8 weeks, you’ll train harder and more intelligently than you ever have... The result? A physique that looks complete from every angle.

HY-APEX isn’t another bro split. It’s an evidence-backed training system for men who love to train, and want every session to count**.

FAQs
How long should each workout take me?
Each HY-APEX workout should take you around 50-75 minutes, including the warm-up. If you adhere to the rest period prescriptions and warm-up guidelines provided, your workouts really shouldn’t take longer than 60-70 mins.
Is this program suitable for beginners?
Yes! While I wrote these programs with intermediate-advanced trainees in mind, they will be effective across a broad range of training ages. It’s never to early to begin training intelligently… The only limitations are those that you set on yourself.
I’ve tried so many different programs before… How's this different?
Most training plans that other PT’s and Online Coaches offer are based on outdated & uneducated training principles. This approach simply will not work for 99% of people… Instead, HY-APEX 5 DAY is formulated using the latest evidence-based principles that guarantee your progress in the gym.
How will the training be delivered?
I've partnered with TrainHeroic to deliver your training program. You'll create an account and your HY-APEX programme will be automatically delivered to your account via an app (both iOS and Android). There are video instructions for each movement and I'll always list out detailed instructions too.
