《Hypertrophy Simplified》

by Ryan Adams

Program Description

The purpose is to build muscle at a frequency that is acceptable for me, a working father of three. I was doing heavy compound lifting, and wanted a program that had less stress on my joints with a heavy focus on building muscle. So, I put this program together! This program is broken up into and UPPER, LOWER, FULL-BODY split and is designed to make sure you are adequately targeting all major muscle groups over the 6 week program. The focus is on working close to failure. Intensity is key when you can only exercise 3 days out of the week. Add weight when necessary to maintain effective sets as you adapt and progress. Exercise selection was designed to hit major muscle groups at least twice a week. Check rep range and use weight that will keep you within that range. Rest 2-3 minutes in between every set to ensure you are getting good quality sets and not super-setting. Conduct every rep with an explosive concentric and slow eccentric. DO NOT BREAK FORM Once the speed of the repetition begins to slow, you know you are approaching failure (likely 2-3 RIR). For best results, exercise on Monday, Wednesday and Friday. Leave a review if you find this program helpful or if you have any recommendations! Have fun!
