Program Description
Hypertrophy program to focus on the upper body with a 1.5x per week frequency.This push/pull 1.5 x and legs 1x per week will allow for optimal recovery and strength gains while also making the most of your time in the gym. 3 min. rest for compounds and 2 min. or less for smaller/isolation movements. Run the first 3 days in a row and take 1 rest day before the final day 4. Leg day is very basic. Feel free to add any additional leg volume on this day where you see fit. Since this is lower volume and there is lots of room for recovery you can push hard.
