This is volume 4 of a 4 part series to keep you on track for the last 4 months of 2023. With the upcoming holidays, life can get in the way and it can be harder to prioritize training. These 4 programs are designed to help remove the guess work from your life and get in and out of the gym so you can continue enjoying life events. While these programs can be used to support goals of any kind, we all know we typically indulge a bit more during the holidays. There's no deprivation happening over here. Rather than feeling the need to work off the food you eat or earn your food, use what you eat as fuel for killer sessions. Take advantage of those extra calories to hit new PRs, gain a bit of muscle, or just feel more energized.
This last volume of the series is a 3 day full body split, designed to make training realistic during this busy holiday season but still allow you to hit each muscle group at least twice a per week. Intensity and volume will increase each week just enough to challenge you but still allow plenty of recovery. This volume utilizes RPE (rate of perceived exertion) so you can listen to your body but also push yourself based on how you are feeling on a given day.
