This 4-day program is an upper/lower split that consists of lower push and pull days and upper push and pull days. The primary goal of this program is to increase hypertrophy or muscle gain, while also prioritizing strength in the big 3. There is also optional conditioning circuits that are short and sweet if you are looking to improve there as well. This program is perfect for those who are looking to take the guess work out of their training and need an extra push this summer to shape their bodies the way they want to.
