Program Description
The following workout routine is a 4 day per week protocol. It follows a push, pull, legs split and adds in an extra day focused on building the muscles that help provide a “V”-taper illusion. It’s perfect for most intermediate lifters and can be performed for 6-8 weeks (or longer depending on your goals). https://www.muscleandstrength.com/workouts/4-day-ppl-and-v-taper-intensifier-workout
