52 Week (2 Phase) Men's Program - 4X Per Week AT HOME Upper/Lower

Dean Turner Training

Coach
Dean Turner

This is a 4x per week Upper/Lower training program designed for MEN seeking hypertrophy (muscle growth).

The program includes exercises such as Flat Barbell Bench Press, Chest Supported Dumbbell Rows, Dumbbell Bulgarian Split Squats, and Barbell RDLs.

Set #s are fixed while rep ranges are variable based on RIR meaning the program is auto-regulatory in nature.

A set of instructions is included to help individualize the program, extend its lifespan, and ensure it is run optimally.

This program may be used by beginner, intermediate, or advanced trainees. Minor alterations may need to be made to optimize for each level but the program is all-encompassing. Alterations are discussed in the instructions of the program.

This program may be used whether bulking, cutting, or eating at maintenance. The idea that an individual should change his or her approach depending on the amount of calories they are consuming is a myth.

This program is made for people that will be lifting AT HOME.

Equipment needed to run this plan:

  • Dumbbells
  • A Barbell
  • Plates
  • An Adjustable Bench
  • A Power Rack
  • Resistance Bands

You can expect to spend anywhere from 45-75 minutes PER SESSION depending on your exact rest time between sets.
