PROGRAM STRUCTURE - PHASE 1:
Day 1: Upper Push 1
Start the cycle with a focus on upper chest, shoulders, and triceps. After a targeted mobility warm-up, you'll move through pressing and shoulder-dominant movements designed to build strength, size, and stability in the upper body. The session closes with isolation work to develop arm definition and lockout control.
Day 2: Upper Pull 1
This pull-focused session is built to widen the back and reinforce posture. You'll prep the body for effective pulling with shoulder and spine mobility, then transition into a mix of vertical pulls, arm work, and core training to support total upper-body development and functional strength.
Day 3: Lower Body 1
Leg day opens with athletic mobility work and neuromuscular activation. The strength series is structured to emphasize the quads, hips, and glutes through a mix of bilateral and unilateral movements, followed by targeted posterior chain work and calf development to round out the lower body.
Day 4: Upper Push 2
Revisit pressing with a heavier emphasis on shoulder hypertrophy and joint stability. This session includes priming drills for upper-body mobility, then progresses into a variety of pressing and isolation patterns to challenge shoulder and triceps endurance under volume.
Day 5: Upper Pull 2
A horizontal pull and forearm-focused day aimed at improving back thickness and upper-body coordination. Functional warm-ups set the tone for rows, arm training, and integrated core work that reinforces postural strength and grip capacity.
Day 6: Lower Body 2
Finish the cycle by prioritizing posterior chain power, single-leg stability, and athletic coordination. After a core-activation and hip-mobility block, you’ll transition into strength and endurance sequences designed to enhance glute, hamstring, and calf development, with some explosive movement patterns to close.
