Program Description
This is a Jailhouse Strong 8×8–inspired training composed of a density block (building new muscle and workload capacity while recovering joints and tendons) followed by a strength-transition block (learning to employ the newly built muscles in a strength-specific way). IMPORTANT: 1. During Density Block, the pause between sets is: Main lifts: 30-40sec Deadlift: 60-90sec Accessories: 40-60sec 2. During Strength Bridge, the pause between sets is: Main lifts: 2min Deadlift: 2min 30sec Accessories: 45-75sec 3. Each week during Density Block add 2.5kg on main lifts, 5kg in cases of extreme ease of completing the movement with the alotted rest periods - your main stimulus comes from density training (low rest periods and pumps), and not heavy weights. 4. At the end of each day, do 15min of cardio - stationary bike, rowing machine, or incline treadmill - nasal breathing only.
