Mon Tue Wed Thu Fri Sat Sun

Four-day split, perfect middle ground between full-body and PPL. Each muscle group hit twice a week. Structure: Upper A (Mon), Lower A (Tue), REST (Wed), Upper B (Thu), Lower B (Fri). Why this split: - High enough frequency for strong hypertrophy gains. - Two full rest days a week means recovery rarely becomes the bottleneck. - Each session is around 60-75 minutes with the prescribed rest periods. Working sets only. Compound lifts at RPE 7-8, isolation lifts at RPE 8-9. When to graduate FROM this: when you can rep 1.x bodyweight on bench, 2x bodyweight on squat, 2.5x bodyweight on deadlift. Then move to PPL or a specialist program.
