Made for me with a focus to increase muscle size in order to become stronger on lifts like the benchpress and shoulderpress Also heavily back focused for a future deadlift specialization program Therefore higher back frequency My knees aint 100% so quite easy on the weight with squatting movements but making up for it with intensity techniques Superset that which can be supersetted to save some time For example a Preacher curl, frenchpress, uprightrow, giant set! Increase bench pushing for 405! Hypertrophy General strength
