Main Goal: Build Athletic Muscle Mass, Strength & Conditioning Workout Type: Targeted Weekly Muscle Split Program Duration: Ongoing Weekly Cycle Training Level: Intermediate to Advanced
Follow a structured week of push, pull, legs, arms, and upper-lower sessions. This routine develops balanced muscle, better conditioning, and consistent strength gains.
This program works best for intermediates, but beginners can scale sets and weights down. Focus on learning proper form first, then gradually increase intensity.
You’ll gain strength, size, and better definition within 4–6 weeks. Expect lean mass improvements, enhanced conditioning, and balanced growth across all muscle groups.
Some substitutions can work at home with resistance bands, dumbbells, and benches. However, gym access is recommended for machines and cables.
Yes, add 2–3 low-to-moderate cardio sessions per week for conditioning. Avoid high-intensity cardio on leg days to save recovery capacity.
Eat a balanced diet focused on protein (chicken, eggs, tofu), complex carbs (rice, oats), and healthy fats (nuts, olive oil). Aim for 4–5 meals daily with 1g protein per pound of bodyweight.
Pick up the next session the following day and shift the week forward. Don’t skip the muscle group entirely. Recovery and flexibility are key.
