Week 1: Foundation Focus: Establish strength baseline for main lifts, build accessory volume. Week 3: Strength Ramp-Up Focus: Increase intensity on main lifts, maintain hypertrophy volume. Week 5: Strength Peak Focus: Push strength limits on main lifts, increase accessory volume. Week 7: Max Strength Effort Focus: Maximize strength on main lifts, maintain hypertrophy stimulus. Week 8: Deload 1. **Warm-Up**: 5-10 minutes of dynamic stretching/light cardio, plus 2-3 warm-up sets for main lifts (e.g., 50%, 60%, 70% of working weight). 2. **Strength Progression**: Increase main lift weights by 5-10 lbs weekly if you hit all reps with good form. Use a percentage of your 1-rep max (1RM) as a guide. 3. **Hypertrophy Progression**: For accessories, aim to add 1-2 reps or increase weight slightly when you hit the top of the rep range. 4. **Rest**: 2-3 minutes for main lifts, 60-90 seconds for accessories. 5. **Nutrition**: Ensure a slight calorie surplus and 0.8-1g protein per lb of body weight to support strength and growth. 6. **Cycle Restart**: After Week 5 deload, restart Week 1 with 5-10 lbs more on main lifts than your previous Week
