The saiyan training protocol is designed with a lifter in mind who wants to focus on their strenght, muscle and performance metrics. The strenght base is covered with the first 3 days of the program. The main and secondary lifts get a linear progression from ~60% to ~90%. Each week we should raise about 1-3% of our lifts for our top sets. The backdowns should be based on the RPE of our main lift. This could be about -10% to -20% taken off our main lifts based ln performance. The backdowns should be close to our top sets in rep count. The accessories were chosen to get a strong upper back, traps, and shoulders, basically a yoke focused program. This is inspired from the saiyans and olympic lifters physique which in my opinion are closely resembed by each other. In the excercise seleciton you can see the inspiration from oly lifting - upright rows, presses, rdls, weighted calisthenics. Every rep should have a slow, controlled descent with an explosive concentric. Skill mastery is crucial you aren't just swinging weight, you are wielding it with purpase.

This program is built around a full gym. Make sure you have consistent access before starting, since the progression model assumes you can perform the same movements week over week.

Each session typically takes around 90 minutes to complete. That estimate covers your working sets but doesn't account for warm-up or rest between sets, so budget a little extra time when you're first learning the movements.

The program runs for 12 weeks. The structure is designed so that each week builds on the last, with weights, volume, or intensity progressively increasing as you go.
