This program is a 4 Day, high volume, total body resistance training program and is 8 weeks in length. 2 Blocks, 4 Weeks Each
The selected movements will gear the participant towards maximizing a hormonal response to create a stimulus for hypertrophy.
The first 4 week block aims at building a capacity for work through progressing volume.
The second 4 week block looks to accumulate slightly more volume, this time with a greater emphasis on increasing intensity.
This program is written for people with two goals in mind. Simply put....
The first being to put on muscle mass,
The second was to set the stage for continued training to gain strength. After all, a bigger muscle has the potential to be a stronger muscle!
A great follow up program would be our Lighthouse Method 4 Day Strength Development Program.
