ATLAS

Program Description

In Greek mythology, Atlas was a Titan who fought against Zeus and lost. As punishment, he was condemned to carry the heavens for all eternity (in some accounts the celestial spheres). One cannot expect a skinny weakling to be able carry tremendous loads hence, the need for a strong and jacked posterior chain. But we're not here to be able to squat or deadlift a thousand pounds. This program is one I made to help intermediate lifters get a demon back. In essence, you will be doing some type of exercise for the back every session. This a 4-Day Upper/Lower program with the goal of looking like you can carry the world on your back, after all.. A back-focused program with a lot of isolations for the arms. Not a lot of quad volume but still be able to trains legs frequently with intensity. This also a lot of supersets, so if you don't have the work capacity it will take you a while to finish the workout. Also, not a lot of volume because I take almost all of my sets to failure or just shy of failure, sometimes beyond failure but only if necessary. This is a personal preference but you are welcome to add more sets and/or exercises if you like.
