New Beginnings

by Greg M.

Program Description

This is a program for people pushing 40 (like me) and need a break from heavy compound barbell movements (like me) and want to be in and out of the gym (like me). 5 weeks of progressive overload then deload. Run it for as long as you want, or at least until you start to miss heavy compound barbell lifts.
