PURPOSE: If you want to get stronger and put on more mass than ever before, this is the program for you. The Anvil Protocol is a seven week powerbuilding program designed to be ran as a block multiple times in a row, which is made possible by the integrated deload week at the end. The Anvil Protocol also directly trains grip and neck strength as well, which you won't find with any other programs. The program comprises of a basic U/L split with a pump day to end your week off right. RECOMMENDED SCHEDULE: Monday - Upper (Bench Focus) Tuesday - Lower (Squat Focus) Wednesday - Rest / Cardio Thursday - Upper (OHP & Back) Friday - Lower (Deadlift Focus) Saturday - Arms & Neck Sunday - Rest PROGRESSION GUIDELINES: Compound Lifts - Follow percentages Accessories - Add weight and/or reps weekly Grip Training - Increase time, reps, or weight/resistance weekly Neck Training - Add weight and/or reps each week. Be careful with this so you don't hurt yourself IMPORTANT NOTES: If you have never trained your neck, BE GENTLE! You don't want to injure yourself immediately. Pay attention to RPE! They change as the weeks go on so be sure to check them week to week as the intensity fluctuates. It is recommended that you use 90% of your 1RM as your "training max" when prompted to input it. Progress is made through slow and steady improvement, let the program do the thinking for you. Lastly, make it your own! If you have access to some better equipment, please use it! This is made to be able to be done at most gyms around the world and might not have your favorite machine on here.
