About the Program:
5x/Week Push/Pull/Legs + Upper/Lower Split that targets optimal training volume for each major muscle group every week to ensure you build muscle and get stronger. The program follows a high intensity training model designed to progress you towards using heavier loads for higher work sets rather than focusing on setting new 1 Rep Maxes. This is the gold standard for strength & hypertrophy training.
Training Blocks:
The program cycles through 4 different Training Blocks - each block is specifically designed to help you build confidence in lifting heavier weights, learn how to push work sets close enough to failure without leading to burnout, and progress your training on a week by week basis to guarantee muscle growth.
Block 1 - Rep Max Progression (Compound Lifts) + Double Progression (Accessory)
Block 2 - Cluster Set Progressions (Compound Lifts) + Double Progression (Accessory)
Block 3 - AMRAP Set Progression (Compound Lifts) + Double Progression (Accessory)
Block 4 - Double Progression (Compound Lifts & Accessory)
Each training block is designed for you to be able to hop right into the program and start - You do not need to date back to any previous workouts.
