The following program may positively affect your ability to achieve massive gainz. For real, fellas. Hands down. If you have at least 4 years of gym experience and you want to elevate your gains to the next level, this program might be the right choice for you. Does it guarantee to work for you? I don't know, man. You have to try it, so you can tell me if it works for you. But I recommend you to be in a caloric surplus. This routine might not work if you are cutting or considering cutting while you are in the middle of the program. I'm just a meathead and love lifting in the gym. So i came up with this program. A 5 Days Upper-Lower Push-Pull-Legs Split for the intermediate gym-bro. Possible schedule: • Monday: Upper Body • Tuesday: Lower Body • Thursday: Push Day • Friday: Pull Day • Saturday: Leg Day If you are brave, you can go ham and work out from Monday to Friday too. It's your choice. If you are not able to do the exercise in the program due to limited access or the machines are not available in your gym, then seek an alternative. Like barbells instead of dumbells or smith machine squats instead of barbell squats. Be creative and make use of your time, man. You got this. It might be a ton of volume for some. It might be too little for the other half. I don't care. Have fun.

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 70 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 5 weeks. The structure is designed so that each week builds on the last, with weights, volume, or intensity progressively increasing as you go.
