Unlock your strength with the PPL 2 program, an 8-week journey designed for dedicated lifters ready to push their limits. This 6-day split focuses on the classic Push-Pull-Legs format, ensuring balanced development across all major muscle groups. Each workout combines compound and isolation movements, targeting everything from chest and triceps to back and shoulders, with a mix of bodyweight and weighted exercises. Get ready to build muscle, enhance your endurance, and achieve your fitness goals with structured intensity and progressive overload.

This 8 week PPL mesocycle is designed to maximize hypertrophy through high-volume, evidence based training progression. The focus is on building lats, delts, glutes, hams, quads, and chest while maintaining balanced development across the entire physique. 

Progressive Overload: gradually increase stimulus over Weeks 1-3 (increase RIR from 3 to 1) and 5 - 7 (increase sets and RIR).

Planned Recovery: structured deload in week 4 to manage fatigue

Optimal Volume Distribution: Each muscle hit at least 2x per week.
