This program focuses on upper body strength and hypertrophy. This program has 4 sessions a week using power lifts and accessory work throughout. Two of the days will focus on bench press and back squat and upper body pushing while the other two days will focus on deadlift and upper body pull strength. Each week gets progressively tougher so take more rest time if needed.
