1 PowerLift Per Day Powerbuilding 5 Day Bro Split

Program Description

Based off of Andy Baker's KCS (Kingwood Strength & Conditioning) Powerbuilding program. It focuses on increasing strength on one lift per day, including squat, deadlift, bench press, overhead press, and pull-up. Rest days are after squat and deadlift days. 1 - Shoulders & Triceps 2 - Back 3 - Quads & Calves Rest 4 - Chest & Biceps 5 - Posterior Chain Rest Fit in Abs, extra calves & Cardio wherever you like. At some point in a lifter's career, typically after the novice or early intermediate phase, the most reliable way to get stronger is to become more muscular, i.e. build muscle mass. To that end, the term "powerbuilding" has emerged to describe a hybrid approach of training the main barbell lifts (like a powerlifter) alongside a selection of supplemental lifts done for higher reps aimed at increasing muscular size (like a bodybuilder). While some people knock powerbuilding as merely a clever marketing term, a suboptimal way to train, the fact is that many of the strongest powerlifters of all time have trained with this approach: Ed Coan, Dan Green, Kirk Karwoski, and many others.. This uses gradually decreasing reps like 8/5/2 or 5/4/3 or 6/4/2, whatever you prefer for progressing the main lifts in the context of a five-day body part split. Repeat the 3 week cycle and increase your weight by at least 5 or 10 pounds.
