Program Description
12-Week Hypertrophy Program - PPL (5 Days) This program is a 12-week hypertrophy plan built on my powerlifting-based strength background, designed to maximize muscle volume and range of motion while avoiding excessive cutting. It will be a Pull/Push/Leg/Pull/Push split, performed 5 days a week. The program is adapted twice a week. Progressive overload is applied to core movements, while controlled tempo and maximum muscle feel are targeted in isolation movements. 1-2 reps are reserved (RIR) in most sets, and failure may be allowed in structural isolation movements. The goal is to increase muscle development, particularly in the upper back and arms, maintain strength with triceps-focused push days, and target the posterior chain and lower back. The diet will be low in calories but high in protein. Recovery, sleep, and sustainable progress will ensure the success of this process.
