This is an advanced-level muscle building routine that involves four days of training each week for 8 weeks. You will have the opportunity to work your upper and lower body twice per week. This is plenty of training - as long as your nutrition is where it needs to be - to add muscle mass. Speaking of nutrition, adequate protein intake is really important for the next 8-weeks. Your goal is about 150 grams of protein each day. Work on getting 25-30 grams/protein for all meals and snacks to ensure you reach that level.
Day 1: Upper Body
Day 2: Lower Body
Day 3: Upper Body
Day 4: Lower Body
In regard to the length of your workouts, upper body workout sessions should take about 85-90 minutes while lower body workouts should take about 55-65 minutes.
