If you care more about shoulder development than chest, you can swap the 1st exercise of each day (Incline Dumbbell Bench/Flat Dumbell Bench/Smith Machine Reverse Grip Bench) for another overhead movement. </li><li>Likewise, if you care more about thickness of the back, you can swap a vertical pull for a row, whilst if you care more about width, can dump rows for vertical pulls. Up to you. </li><li>Take the first week fairly easy just to find working weights (~3-4 RIR across the board). </li><li>You have 4 days off a week so push the workout days hard!</li><li>Feel free to do cardio on your off days. Cardio is optional and should be done at lower intensity so they do not interfere with your workouts. </li><li>Where it says “failure + partials” start with just failure (after the first week) and gradually incorporate some partial range of motion reps in later weeks. </li><li>Aim for a double progression, adding reps till you get to the top of the rep range, then adding weight, and repeating. Not all sets have to be with the same weight, you can do a single set with a heavier weight then drop the weight if fatigue necessitates that. </li><li>Can autoregulate sets, doing the higher side if you feel good, the lower side if life/tiredness/poor sleep show up. Start on the lower side. Don’t always do the higher side of sets, prioritize quality over quantity. </li><li>The program will work great as is, but feel free to evolve it over time when you run it subsequently by tweaking exercise selection or rep range. Observe what seems to produce the best results over time during and after each iteration.</li></ul>

Start on the low side of that, and do the third set when you feel like you are recovering well. Can always autoregulate and go back down to 2 sets. If you’ve found you respond better to higher volumes in the past, 3-4 sets or even 3-5 might be viable especially for movements that are easier on the body.• Many exercises are done in supersets, which means you alternate between the two exercises. You can do these supersetted with minimal rest if you want, or rest between each movement. I prefer to rest to ensure set quality.How to progress on weights?• Use a double progression model whenever you can, that’ll be the simplest way. Double progression, also known as an "evolving rep range" is where instead of doing typical 5 sets of 5 reps, you might try to get 5 sets of 4-6 reps. When you can get six reps on all sets, you add the smallest amount of weight that you can, which should reduce the reps that you can get. Rinse and repeat.• You could use step loading for the smaller movements like lateral raises, or perhaps progress in range of motion on the chest supported row variations. This is where you stick with the same weight for longer than you really need to, before jumping up later.How to do "failure + partials" sets?• How to perform "failure + partials" sets. The goal is to pick a weight where you'll fail a few reps before the rep target, and then do partial reps (attempting full range of motion but failing). For example, if a failure + partial set has a target 12-15 reps, find a weight that you can take to failure for 8-12 reps, then add 2-3 reps with as much range of motion as possible.
