Week 1 (of 4 weeks) was released on Friday, Aug 16. For the next 3 weeks, a week of programming will be released every Friday. I used to be a bodybuilder, and training people for hypertrophy was my specialty for quite awhile. I still have a love for it. Much like other forms of training I have my own approach that has served me and my clients very well over the years. It’s based in two main premises: 1. Less volume per workout 2. More frequent stimulus But it goes deeper than that. I called my split “major/minor”. Each day you will train two body parts. One of those body parts will get the major ass kicking, the other, a minor stimulus. I train six days a week and go through this cycle twice during the week, switching the major with the minor half way through. If I pounded each body part twice a week it wouldn’t be ideal for recovery and growth and I’d quickly burnout. My way each body part gets taxed only once a week but gets a small additional stimulus to bridge that gap mid week while still allowing it to keep recovering. The workouts are short, under an hour. This leaves time and energy to do the second optional workout if you desire, either following the weights or at a different time during the day. The second workout is designed to maintain and even build on all the other fitness characteristics that are vitally important to athletes. You’ll leave each workout feeling you could have done a little more, and that’s intentional, remember we are stimulating, not annihilating here. You’ll learn that since there won’t be an endless amount of reps and sets that you’ll need to get the most from every single rep and set you have. Quality over quantity. You notice your fatigue building by the end of the week and come Sunday, you’ll be thankful for that rest day.
