Description

This 4 day routine focuses on both building muscle and strength to build serious size that packs a punch. To accomplish this, this workout incorporates a variety of rep ranges (lower range for strength, higher for hypertrophy) organized into an upper/lower split. Two upper and two lower splits also ensure each muscle group gets optimal frequency per week for fast progress. Intermediates looking to build muscle and power simultaneously will want to give this workout a try.


NOTES:

1. Stretch adequately before starting the workout in order to prevent chances of injury.

2. You can replace an exercise from the list from time to time, but it should hit the same muscle group as the exercise which you want to replace.

3. Never compromise form just for the sake of completing a set.
