Program Description
4x/WEEK TRAINING ROUTINE - Program runs in 3 week blocks - Goal is to restart each block with 2.5-5lbs added to the bar depending on lifting level - Each week intensity goes UP. Meaning, you are ADDING weight but reducing reps - No planned deloads. Feel free to schedule them in when you feel fatigued.
