Are you bored, tired, and under-stimulated in the gym?

Do you want to build strength, add size, and maintain some functional conditioning?

If you said 'yes' to either of these questions then this program is for you. This is a 10-week, 5-day-per-week program designed to put some strength and size on.

What it is not: This is not a PR-at-all-costs type of program. If you are a competitive athlete with sport-specific goals, this will not be what you are looking for. Please look into individual programs for more information on specific goal-oriented programming.

Results: Strength, Hypertrophy, General Physical Preparedness

Skill level 3-4

SKILL LEVEL SCALE: 1= easy 5= high skilled

"As a former athlete, I was seeking a system that really allowed me to push myself, while achieving maximum results. His hyper trophy program does just that. The program is organized in a way that is simple to understand and comprised of movements anyone can do in any gym."

"I've always considered myself an active individual, but when I stumbled upon Andy Thompson's 10-week "Bored Athlete" strength and hypertrophy program... Andy's program, however, completely changed the game for me."
