Upper Lower Four Day (Beginner)

HypertrophyBeginner4 days / weekFull gym8 weeks45 min sessionsUpper / lower

Four days, two upper, two lower. The most efficient split for building muscle around a real schedule. Heavy compounds first, accessories after. Built by real trainers to run in about forty five focused minutes. Warm up with intent, run every set as written, log it, and leave.

Progression: Add a rep or a small load each week inside the range. Rest as written; the timing is part of the work. Week 5 is a deload: same movements, two thirds of the sets, leave two reps in the tank.

Written by a working trainer. In the app, every session is editable: swap exercises, change days, and log every set.
