Lean Muscle - SUN

by sunthar subramanian

Program Description

Program Brief: This 4-day gym program is designed for intermediate lifters aiming to build lean muscle, burn fat, and enhance lower-body and core strength. It balances compound lifts, hypertrophy work, and functional training while prioritizing joint- and back-friendly exercises. Key features: Leg & Calf Mass Focus: Twice-weekly targeted lower body volume for growth and definition. Upper Body Strength & Biceps Development: Includes push/pull splits with elbow-friendly alternatives. Core/Abs Integration: Core exercises 2–3x/week to improve midsection definition and stability without compromising recovery. Progressive Overload & Drop Sets: Structured for continuous strength and size gains while supporting fat loss. Optional Finishers & Conditioning: Short metabolic finishers enhance calorie burn, promoting lean physique development. Flexible Alternatives: Exercises provided to accommodate joint, back, or equipment limitations. This program is ideal for those who want efficient, science-based workouts that maximize muscle gain, fat loss, and core strength within ~45–55 minutes per session.
