WEEKS 6-12

Training Split

Monday = Upper Body
Tuesday = Lower Body
Wednesday = OFF
Thursday = Upper Body
Friday = Lower Body
Weekends = OFF

Program Notes: A few changes are made during this phase. The workout frequency is increased to 4 times per week and each body part gets trained twice per week instead of only once. This obviously increases the total training volume and we know, training volume is one of the keys to stimulating hypertrophy (muscle growth). There’s a few “supersets” that are also incorporated into this program. Indicated by an “SS”, a superset means that you should move from one exercise immediately to the next without a rest interval.
