Upper/Lower - Strength & Hypertrophy

TrainRx Performance Programming

Coach

Rick Gorrell

About the Program:

4x/Week 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.

High Intensity / Low Volume Training

No more junk volume - every single set counts. You're going to learn how to take work sets to 0-1 RIR and be instructed on how to select effective weights for every exercise you perform on a daily basis.

Progressive Overload

You have 2 goals - Add Reps to your Sets or Add Weight to the Bar. Every single workout builds off the last. If you're not progressing, you're staying stagnant and you won't build muscle or get stronger.

Your Random Workouts Suck

Changing exercises every week, not tracking any lifts, "switching it up" because you're bored - This is why you look exactly the same as you did when you first started going to the gym. It's time to get serious, stick to a plan, and trust the process.
