Program Description
Based on Mountain Dog’s Warlock program. This 8 week program is designed for the intermediate bodybuilder to pack on size and strength. Every muscle group is hit 2x per week in this upper lower split. If you are unfamiliar with any of the movements in this program, please refer to John Meadows’ YouTube channel for reference. John uses RPE differently than most. In this program an RPE 10 means mechanical failure, not an inability to complete another rep. This means that you’ve reached failure when your form fails.
