Plan Details
The Upper Lower Workout Routine - Built with Science routine by JeffDavidXI is a 7 day workout plan. It is an intermediate level plan to achieve bulking fitness goals.
MAIN POINTS Maximize growth with 10-20 sets per week for each muscle (this doesn’t have to be evenly distributed) Using a workout split that trains each muscle 2-3x/week (e.g. upper/lower split) becomes increasingly important at higher volumes Train each muscle with ~2-4 exercises per week, and avoid changing those exercises too frequently Force your muscles to grow by adding weight or reps every week, or doing a combination of both (e.g. double progression) Take most of your sets 2-3 reps short of failure, but occasionally train all the way to failure (when it’s safe to do so) Incorporate lengthened partials in some exercises for a potential 5-15% growth boost Adjust calorie surplus based on experience level; more isn’t always better Prioritize total daily protein intake, but consider spreading this into at least 3 meals for an added benefit Eat 3 eggs/day to turn into Mike O’Hearn Let me know if you need any modifications or explanations!
