This is a 12 week strength building program designed to make you stronger on primary lifts while also sculpting the body and gaining a ton of lean muscle.
By the end of this program you will have a new 1 rep max for your Back Squat, Deadlift, Bench Press, Push Press, and Strict Press. You will also be able to put up higher numbers on Incline Bench Press, Sumo Deadlift, and max reps for pull-ups. These are the movements that we will be focused on progressive overloading each week over a 12 week span.
The program consists of 5 days of training with 2 rest/active recovery days each week.
The split each week will be: Lower, Upper, Arms and Core, Rest, Lower, Upper, Rest.
Each Lower Body and Upper Body day will have an optional metabolic conditioning finisher at the end.
If you're an advanced athlete ready to break through plateaus and be the strongest you've ever been, then you've found the program for you. Get ready to look like you're made of metal.
