Program Description
Welcome to this "one day compound/one day accessory" Berserker programme! This program is designed to maximize both strength and hypertrophy (size) over a 16-week span, with a particular emphasis on upper-body development—most notably overhead pressing. By training six days per week and alternating between opposing compound lifts (e.g., a squat variation + pull variation) on one day and accessory work the next, it ensures continuous progress without overworking the same muscle groups on consecutive days. The main compound exercises rotate weekly variations (e.g., high-bar squat, box squat, flat bench, incline bench, overhead press, push press, conventional deadlift, RDL) to promote well-rounded development. Each compound day also includes stretching and abs, while accessory days focus primarily on upper-body hypertrophy. Progressive overload is built into the plan using % of 1RM (starting at 70% and reaching 90%)pl advancing in intensity each week to optimize strength gains and muscle growth without any deload weeks.
