Program Description
The Livestock Size and Strength Program is designed to facilitate maximum hypertrophy and strength development over a 12-week period by integrating elements of powerlifting, bodybuilding, and functional training. This program prioritizes progressive overload and balanced volume to build or rebuild foundational strength, stimulate muscle growth, and optimize performance in compound and accessory lifts. Structured with 4 training days per week, it focuses on strategic recovery to ensure sustainable progress while targeting key metrics like strength gains, muscle size, and functional power. Phase Breakdown Phase 1 (Weeks 1-4) Goal: Establish foundational strength, prioritize technique, and build work capacity. Intensity: Moderate. Progression: Linear, 5-10 lbs added weekly to major lifts. Phase 2 (Weeks 5-8) Goal: Push volume and intensity for hypertrophy. Intensity: High, 75-85% of 1RM weeks 5-7 and deload 8th. Progression: More accessory volume; begin incorporating peak-heavy sets. Phase 3 (Weeks 9-12) Goal: Peak strength and functional power. Intensity: Maximal effort (85-95% of 1RM) for 9-11 and deload on 12th. Progression: Reduce volume, prioritize heavy lifts and strongman-inspired movements.
