Strong A** Spring Upper/Lower Split is comprised of 4 weekly workouts, 2 upper and 2 lower. The first half of the this program will repeat for 4 weeks. You will take these 4 weeks to use progressive overload to improve your strength. This can look like adding weight each week, improving your form, adding more time under tension, etc. Phase 2 will consist of 4 weeks of new workouts but with the same 4 day split. There are 3 days available for you to use as full rest days or active rest days to for other forms of movement that aren't too strenuous. It also allows you the flexibility to move around your sessions to different days if needed. There are regressions or home exercise options available for each exercise and can be viewed when you expand each one. While this program is categorized as intermediate, beginner and advanced athletes can easily adapt it their needs. This program can be used for fat loss, strength gain, muscle gain, or maintenance purposes. Each participant will have access to chat with me as your coach if you ever have any questions about an exercise, your form, weight selection, etc.
