Meathook is an all purpose training program that translates my training habits and philosophies into a format suitable for use by the general lifting population. It incorporates my weekly schedule, my preferred routines for hypertrophy, and some of my favorite progressions and periodization for strength development. This program is NOT suitable for beginners, but is suitable for intermediate lifters and advanced lifters, some suggestions on how to handle the program at each level will be included in this document. This is NOT a powerlifting program, or a program dedicated to any other strength sport, though it can be used in an off-season and the strength and size developed through running it will carry over to strength sports if you utilize dedicated training afterwards. The program runs for 12 weeks but can be repeated indefinitely. The program assumes access to a full gym with a good machine selection, but can be performed with a more minimal set up (though I believe this will impede the hypertrophy days abit). I HIGHLY recommend reading this entire document prior to running the program, in order to understand how to properly use it.Click the link below for the full program guide.Use code DEADLIESTLIFT when signing up for the app to support the coach.

Rip And Tear is a 12 week program focused around high frequency, high weight, low rep Squat, Bench and Deadlift. It aims to put a fine edge on your technique in these movements at low rep ranges. It is a good choice for a lifter who has spent time focusing on other areas who wants to take their strength and size gains and turn them into personal records in Squat, Bench and Deadlift.This is a 4-7 day program. It includes 3 bench days, 3 squat days, and 2 deadlift days a week. It covers programming only for these three lifts. All accessory work and the bulk of the hypertrophy work is up to the user. Only 4 days a week include programmed lifts. The remaining 3 are listed as rest or hypertrophy days. How these days are used is up to you. I recommend at least 1 of these days be used for upper body hypertrophy work.Weekly StructureDay 1 - Squat, Bench, DeadliftDay 2 - Rest or HypertrophyDay 3 - Squat, Bench, Lower Body HypertrophyDay 4 - Rest or HypertrophyDay 5 - Squat, Bench, Upper Body HypertrophyDay 6 - Squat, Lower Body HypertrophyDay 7- Rest or HypertrophyThis is a program where you will be working with heavy weight. Weights are based off of a true 1RM. Do not use a training max, do not use an old PR single, pick a weight that you could confidently perform a single for at the beginning of the program. Due to the intense and demanding nature of the program, it is recommended for experienced lifters only.Full details can be found in the Program Guide linked below.
