Kratos | Physique and Strength of the God of War

Hadrian

“Kratos” is built to forge a strong, muscular upper body through a combination of strength training and hypertrophy work. Each session is made to grow size where it counts. Chest, delts, arms, and back will all be hammered, (legs will still be a part of the program) while developing the raw strength to prove it. It’s not just about looking like a god-slayer, but having the strength of one.
———————————
The ideal way to run “Kratos” is to do all three blocks, although, you can choose to run singular blocks instead.

Block 1 - Block 1 takes a both hypertrophy and strength-based approach. This is the main block of the program that defines mass and strength put together into one block.

Block 2 - Block 2 focuses on more of a hypertrophy progression, while having it’s main focus put towards mass. The muscular growth from this block should be the most significant.

Block 3 - Block 3 focuses on more of a strength progression, while still having it’s hypertrophy elements. The strength gains from this block should be the most significant.
