Program Description
Rich Piana's 5 Day Split is an intensive bodybuilding program designed to maximize muscle hypertrophy. It follows a structured 5-day routine, each day targeting a specific muscle group with a mix of compound and isolation exercises. The program typically runs from Monday to Friday, allowing for weekends off to aid recovery. This schedule ensures that each muscle group gets ample rest while being hit with high-intensity training sessions.
