The Perfect Program to kickstart your year with a muscle building block

This program is a strength based program for any individual looking to kickstart their year with a solid hypertrophy block!

Compromised of four strength sessions throughout the week, there are two lower body sessions and two upper body sessions, paired with one conditioning session and also one recovery session. The program is based on a 3 + 1 loading paradigm, thus the last week of the month is a deload week. 

The rest time between sets should be no greater than one and a half minutes, this will ensure that there is sufficient metabolic stress to really drive stimulus for hypertrophy.
