Program Description
The workouts in this program use mostly dumbbells in order to directly target and build muscle. Intensity will be based on RPE, increasing for specific workouts each week by 1 RPE. Therefore, you can focus on your form for a specific workout when increasing intensity rather than increasing the intensity of every workout. The progression of overloading is broken up by each week cycle, cycling over every 6 weeks. Have fun :)
