8/6/4/2 For strength and size

Unlock your potential with the 8/6/4/2 program, a comprehensive 12-week strength and size training plan designed for serious lifters. Committing just three days a week, you'll focus on progressive overload through a mix of compound and isolation exercises, including the barbell overhead press and bench press. This program emphasizes heavy lifting with targeted rep ranges to maximize muscle growth and strength gains. Get ready to challenge yourself and transform your physique!

This is a three day a week push/pull/legs programme.  Each workout starts with two primary compound lifts followed by three accessory lifts.
The weight used for the primary lifts is based off a training max, which starts out at about 90% of your one rep max.  This training max will increase and decrease during the programme.
The primary lifts are done in three waves of sets of 8, 6, 4 and 2 reps.
The last set for each of the primary lifts is an amrap set with the results of this set increasing the training max for that lift.  For each rep you get above the required number add 0.5kg (1lb) to the training max for upper body lifts or 1kg (2lb) to the training max for squat or deadlift.
At the start of a new wave (weeks 4, 7, and 10) reset the training maxes to their original number.
For the accessory lifts increase or decrease the weight as needed to stay within the rep range.
