1. Training Split
	•	3 Main Workouts per Week:
	•	Upper Day → Chest, shoulders, lats, arms, traps.
	•	Lower Day → Glutes, quads, hamstrings, posture.
	•	Full Body Day → Balanced compounds + aesthetic accessories.
	•	In-Between Days: Short 10–15 min mobility + abs sessions.
Abs & Mobility Days (Tue/Thu/Sat – 10–15 min)

Mobility (5 min)
	•	Cat-Cow stretch – 2x10
	•	Shoulder dislocates – 2x10
	•	Hip circles – 2x10/side

Abs (10 min)
	•	Hanging Knee Raise – 3x12
	•	Ab Wheel – 3x10
	•	Side Plank – 30s/side
Why this works: Each muscle is trained ~2x per week with built-in recovery.

2. Core & Aesthetic Focus
	•	Abs Every Day → You train upper abs, lower abs, obliques, and stability across the week.
	•	V-Taper Priority → Emphasis on lats, shoulders, traps, and upper chest for width + taper.
	•	Mobility & Posture → Daily hip and shoulder mobility drills prevent tightness and improve form.

⸻

3. Progressive Overload
	•	Compounds (bench, squat, pull-ups, deadlift, OHP, hip thrust):
	•	Start with 3–4 sets of 6–10 reps.
	•	Add weight or reps weekly.
	•	Accessories (lateral raises, face pulls, curls, lunges):
	•	2–3 sets of 10–15 reps.
	•	Focus on slow tempo, mind-muscle connection.
	•	Abs / Forearm / Neck: Higher frequency, moderate volume, resistance added gradually.

⸻

4. 4-Week Phase Structure
	•	Week 1 (Foundation): Learn form, moderate intensity.
	•	Week 2 (Overload): Add weight/reps, slow tempo.
	•	Week 3 (Volume): More sets, supersets for abs.
	•	Week 4 (Peak): Push for strength PRs + max contraction on aesthetics.
	•	After 4 weeks, repeat with slightly higher baseline weights.

⸻

5. Time Commitment
	•	Main workouts: 70 min each.
	•	Mobility/abs days: 10–15 min optional, low fatigue.
	•	Weekly total: ~3.5–4 hrs lifting + 30 min–1 hr optional abs/mobility.

⸻

6. Expected Results in 4–8 Weeks
	•	Visible improvements in abs, shoulder width, posture, and taper.
	•	Strength gains in squat, bench, pull-ups, and hip thrust.
	•	Better hip and shoulder mobility = safer, cleaner form.
	•	Recovery-friendly → no constant soreness or burnout like 5-day splits.
