h, MASS focuses on the fundamentals that drive muscle growth: progressive overload, optimal training volume, controlled tempo, and high-quality movement. Each training phase is designed to maximize muscle fiber recruitment while protecting joints, improving work capacity, and reinforcing proper lifting mechanics.

Throughout the 8 weeks, athletes will train with purpose using a balanced split that targets all major muscle groups multiple times per week. Workouts blend compound lifts, accessory hypertrophy work, and intensity techniques to stimulate muscle growth while keeping sessions efficient and results-focused. Expect to build dense, lean muscle—not just temporary pumps.

MASS also emphasizes recovery and consistency. Strategic deloads, smart exercise sequencing, and intentional rest periods ensure your body can adapt, grow, and stay healthy throughout the program. This allows you to train hard without burning out or breaking down.

Whether you’re coming off a plateau, returning to structured training, or chasing your strongest and most muscular physique yet, MASS provides the roadmap, discipline, and accountability needed to see visible changes in strength, size, and overall body composition.

If you’re ready to stop guessing and start growing, MASS delivers the structure to build muscle that lasts.

Train heavy. Train smart. Build MASS.
