Embark on a journey into uncharted territory of growth, and determination. NO MAN'S LAND is a hypertrophy program that leads you to where others fear to venture. A program designed as a testament to the pursuit of progress through unrelenting effort.

NO MAN'S LAND is a departure from modern era conventional bodybuilding design. Emerging from the belief that less can indeed be more. So long as that intensity is unyielding, and your execution laser sharp.

Favoring intensity over volume, which creates an environment where you are required to give everything during each session. A resolute focus on precision, intensity, and strategic recovery.

NO MAN'S LAND will help you redefine the limits of your own physical capabilities. ‎

  • Session 1: Quads + Calves
  • Session 2: Pull + Erectors
  • Session 3: Push + Abs
  • Session 4: Hamstrings + Glutes
  • Session 5: Upper Body Volume

NO MAN'S LAND isn't meant for the masses; it's designed for the audacious who revel in training to failure and choose to venture where others won't. If you're ready to conquer new horizons and redefine your limits, NO MAN'S LAND awaits. The journey will be demanding, but the rewards are unparalleled.

FAQs
How many days of training each week?
This program provides 5 training days each week.
Do I need to take the two programmed rest days?
YES! While maximal effort sets created the strongest anabolic stimulus, they also create the most fatigue. This is why there are less working sets compared to traditional training programs. The 2 rest days in this program each week are essential so you can recover from the workload.
What training age is best suited for this program?
Intermediate-plus to advanced. You should have at least 2.5+ years of consistent training prior to running this program. Prior to this, many of the techniques and programming aspects may be too complex to properly perform, or even benefit much from.
Can I follow this program in a CrossFit / functional training gym?
No. You will need an adequately equipped conventional globo gym or bodybuilding-focused gym facility.
What type of diet should I follow to make the most progress?
To make the most progress you should be in a hypercaloric state (a calorie surplus.) A disproportionately higher amount of the caloric excess should be provided from carbohydrate relative to dietary fat. To maximize progress you want to see body weight increasing slightly over the training weeks.
