This program is a 6 day (Push, Pull, Legs) split. I have tried many different workout splits, but
this has been the most effective for me as a natural lifter over the past 5 years. I have used this training
plan to make lots of progress in the gym, and I know you can too! That is, if you put in the effort. The
more effort you put into each set the better. Don’t hold back or think you need to keep a few reps in the
tank for the next set. I like to train to failure on almost every set in the gym (unless it’s a warmup set).
**If you are new to any exercise in this program, google the exercise to familiarize yourself with it and
learn about proper form on every movement before you begin to increase the weight.** This way you
will be properly targeting the muscle and getting the most out of every set you perform in the gym.
With that being said, push yourself, and enjoy the program! If you end up having any questions along
