Why This Workout Works

This workout is built around the principles of strength training. Center your program around the big compound lifts: squat, bench press, deadlift, and overhead press. Use heavy loads (80-95% 1RM) with low reps and full recovery between sets. Periodize intensity — not every session should be a max effort.

Training Parameters

  • Rep Range: 3-6 repsheavy enough for maximal force production
  • Rest Periods: 3-5 minutesfull recovery between heavy sets
  • Sets Per Exercise: 4-6 sets — optimized for strength

Forearms Training Tips

  • *Farmer carries are the single best forearm builder — heavy, simple, effective.
  • *Grip training 2-3 times per week compounds rapidly — most lifters see big gains in 8 weeks.
  • *Dead hangs for time build crushing grip and decompress the spine.
