MinDose™ with Singles

by Stephen C.

Program Description

This template is an amalgamation of the ideas found in Dr. Pak's MinimumDose™ research work. Focused on time-efficiency for those who primarily care about hypertrophy and want to grow a solid amount of muscle but don't have the time or recovery resources to train with "optimal" training volumes. Addition of "overwarm" singles are included to maintain some 1RM skill in SBD. The programming is six weeks long, two days per week, but can be run indefinitely. Depending on recovery and time availability, could run twice during a week (four sessions).
