Program Description
AHE2 is a hypertrophy focused program for beginners designed for you to get the most out of limited equipment. If you've got some weights laying around and you don't just want to do calisthenics, this is the program for you. You'll be putting the work in and you should be seeing massive amounts of muscle added onto your frame. Your arms, forearms, and shoulders particularly are going to get more work than they would on other programs. Advice: Please eat. As a beginner you have no idea how much you need to eat to grow. Most people, when doing this amount of work, especially as you put on more muscle, will struggle to eat enough to bulk up. Most beginners should be able to go on dreamer bulks for a decent while and have almost all of the mass be muscle. I want you to take this seriously. If you're putting weight on too fast (more than about 2lbs per week) you can eat less, shoot for 0.5lbs to 1lb per week, but try to shoot for more the newer you are. If you are properly fat and want to lose weight, try eating at maintenance, ideally while cleaning up your diet. This should work, and it's better to take weight loss slower. If that doesn't work and you're putting on fat somehow while doing this you can decrease your calorie intake. Keep protein high though (>0.7g/lb bodyweight). This is probably a good program to prepare you for something like starting strength. It's not as straightforward but it's not going to be anywhere near as taxing as low reps can be. If you run this you're probably not going to run into issues when you find a gym (or get more equipment) and start doing proper benches, deadlifts, and squats. Anyways, you can run this for as long as you want or until you outgrow it. Find a way to make the deadlift challenging with what you have. Go hard, eat a lot, rest well, be consistent. Have fun
