Program Description

This program rotates from upper lower twice per week to 4 fullbody sessions, changing the main trained attribute from base development to size gain to speed development to strength followed by a week of high repetition blood flow or pump training week. (Deload) Unlike a typical approach to increasing recovery by doing a concurrent program, training with high exercise rotation or sticking to submaximal work, this program instead takes a page out of Bugenhagen's approach of working on one lift per week. We instead will focus on one attribute per week, partly to prevent overreaching/backsliding and partly to prevent boredom from a monotonous split. The program has very low strength training volume and so it lends itself to heavier sessions.
