Main area is upper body and so the focus days are Day 1, Day 3, Day 5. Day 2 and Day 4 are focused on legs and arms, they are more in a maintance mode.

For Day 2, 4

Stick to the smaller number of sets and gradually add. There is a AMRAP progression on the last set.

For Day 1, 3, 5

Gradually keep adding up by using AMRAP progression in the last sets.

You can also add a set to an exercise if it wasn't super challenging last time, and if the taget muscle wasn't sore or tired.

Deload every 4-8 weeks

  • only go to gym 2x that week
  • Monday (Day 1) and Thursday (Day 4)
  • reduce the weights, sets and reps by HALF

Do the program for 8-16 weeks and then adjust

  • keep the exercises you liked
  • switch exercises for similar ones
  • try other program

Starting TM is 80% of 1RM.
