Heavy journey (Mentzer/Upper/Lower)

by Dmytro Bobritsky

Program Description

This program suited for me, it’s work only for me. I was a really thin guy. I have struggled for years to build some muscles. But now I created a mini-program that helps me progress day by day. I’m using a liner progression from upper lower Jeff Nippard program. I I realised that you that you work with heavy plates and trying to get yourself power to another level it’s much better split up the body by two parts . Upper and Lower body. Plus some minor work to opposite. I thought that deadlift and squats were impossible to do but with a very low volume everybody could perform it for best results. Bench press Squats Deadlift
