Upper-Lower Team | Hypertropro

The Upper-Lower Team is designed for beginner to intermediate athletes who are serious about building muscle. This is a hypertrophy-focused program, meaning every aspect of the training is optimized for maximum muscle growth.

The structure is simple and effective:

4 days/week of resistance training (upper/lower split)

3 days/week of cardio for overall conditioning

Training is delivered in 12-week cycles, with new exercises introduced each cycle to keep the stimulus fresh and continue driving results. All programming is updated weekly and built using evidence-based hypertrophy principles, guided by the latest research.

The team is led by Coach Zach Sparks, a NASM Certified Personal Trainer with a B.S. in Exercise Science. Every training block reflects current science — not guesswork.

This program is for athletes who are ready to commit to consistent training and take responsibility for nutrition, recovery, and hydration. If you're ready to train smart and train hard — this is your team.

All of this for just $1 a day — high-quality, research-backed muscle-building coaching at an unbeatable price.

FAQs
Q: What are the main differences between the two programs?
A: Full-Body: 3 full-body lifting days + 4 cardio days/week || Upper-Lower: 4 resistance days (upper/lower split) + 3 cardio days/week || The split determines how often and how each muscle group is trained.
Q: Which team builds more muscle?
A: Both build muscle effectively. Upper-Lower offers slightly more training volume, which can help target each muscle group more directly. Full-Body is time-efficient but still great for hypertrophy, especially for beginners.
Q: Can I switch between the teams later?
A: Yes! You can switch at any point in the 12-week cycle. Many clients start with Full-Body and transition to Upper-Lower as they progress.
Q: Can I join the program even if a cycle has already started?
A: Of course! You can join at any point in the 12-week cycle. There's no need to wait — just jump in and start with the current week's training. Payment is not aligned with the 12-week training cycles.
Q: Is one 12-week cycle enough to see results?
A: You’ll absolutely see progress in 12 weeks — but the most noticeable and lasting results come from stacking multiple cycles together. Think of each cycle as a chapter in a longer story — the more you read, the better the ending.
Q: Who do I contact if I have a question about my payment or billing?
A: For all payment and billing-related questions, you’ll need to contact TrainHeroic’s billing support directly. Since all subscriptions and charges are processed through their platform, they handle any issues related to payments, receipts, card updates, or cancellations.
