4 day Upper/Lower plan focused on the intersection of aesthetics and strength. This plan hits all muscle groups 2x/week and effectively alternates angles at which muscles are strained to maximize hypertrophy. Created by a senior biomedical engineering student (minors in chemistry, biology, and computer science) with >5 years of lifting experience. This program WILL get you jacked… but so will most of the others. If you want to “copy the smart kids homework” do this routine. Just remember: The best routine is the one you stick to and that nutrition (0.8g protein/lb body weight/day) and sleep (8hrs+) have >2/3 the impact on your overall gains.
