Description

Are you looking to move beyond a simple strength program and focus on building more muscle, shoring up weak points in your physique, or just try something new? Many lifters complete a novice linear progression and some form of early intermediate strength training (such as Texas Method or HLM) only to find themselves lost as to what to do next. Others are simply burnt out by all the compond lifting and are looking to bring some fun back into their training. Andy lays out a road map for learnign how to train specifcally for hypertrophy.   Andy often starts out lifters new to the concept of training for hypertrophy and physique with a four-day upper/lower body split. This allows for enough exericse "slots" to generate a high amount of muscle fatigue and time under tension (some of the key factors in making muscles bigger), while also leaving room to continue getting stronger on the big compound lifts.   Andy's Upper/Lower Hypertophy Program: https://www.andybaker.com/product/the-baker-barbell-upper-lower-hypertrophy/   The Evolution of the Training Split for Hypertrophy: https://www.andybaker.com/the-evolution-of-the-training-split-for-hypertrophy/     Andy Baker Blog: www.AndyBaker.com IG: @bakerbarbell Owner of Kingwood Strength & Conditioning Co-author of Practical Programming for Strength Training Co-author of The Barbell Prescription: Strength Training for Life After 40   Dan Flanick IG: @coachdanflanick Gym: https://www.skaneatelesstrength.com
