PROGRAM OVERVIEW

This DUP styled program is designed for strength training. Each week you will progressively add more weight
to your compound lifts. While running this program it's essential for you to be in a caloric surplus to
maximize the programs effectiveness. To get started, we need to know what your max lifts are on bench,
squat, and deadlifts. This can either be done by maxing out, or estimating it with a 1RM Max calculator
which can be found anywhere on the internet. This DUP program features 3 compound days, and 3
accessory days. The seventh day is designated for stretching, which is extremely important. We need to
keep our bodies as flexible as possible since we will be overloading it with a strenuous amount of weight
throughout the week. If you're feeling overworked and muscles are fatigued mid-way through the program,
I recommend taking a deload week half-way through (after week 3). Another option would be using the
deload week to max out during. A deloading schedule (without 1RM) and deloading schedule (with 1RM)
will be supplied below. With that being said, if your body feels food and muscles don't feel to fatigued I would
suggest running the program for the full 6 weeks and then running the "deload schedule with 1RM"

Adding weight to your lifts:

Each week, you will add weight to your compound lifts based off the previous week. The day 1's, 3's, and
5's are the same for each week. How you perform in Wk 1 Day 1 will impact how much weight you lift in
Wk 2 Day 1. How you perform in Wk 1 Day 3 will impact how much weight you lift in Wk 2 Day 3. How much
weight you lift in Wk 1 Day 5 will affect how much weight you lift in Wk 2 Day 5.. So on and so forth…
This is done off a personal ranking scale which is supplied below. An example will be supplied below:

1-4 EASY - JUMP 20 LBS NEXT WEEK


5-6 MODERATE - JUMP 15 LBS NEXT WEEK
7-8 SLIGHTLY DIFFICULT - ADD 10 LBS NEXT WEEK
9-10 VERY DIFFICULT - ADD 5 LBS NEXT WEEK

**NOTE: If failure occurs on any set, the same weight is repeated for the following week

EXAMPLE: YOUR BACK SQUAT MAX IS 405, DEADLIFT MAX IS 495, BENCH PRESS MAX IS 315

On lighter isolation exercises take 60-90 seconds in between sets
On supersets and circuits, take a maximum of 60 second in between sets. Keep it to as little
