01 · What this program is

Play is a ten-week hypertrophy Program for intermediate and advanced lifters. Fifty workouts, five days a week. Each session opens to a different training method or style: complexes, pre and post exhaust, tri-sets. The goal stays the same; the approach changes.

The Program assumes the movement competence and self-awareness to maintain technique under fatigue. Two upper-body sessions, two lower-body sessions, one full-body session each Friday. No jumping. High intensity, low impact.

02 · Program structure

Five workouts a week. Two upper-body, two lower-body, one full-body Friday. Each session is built around a specific intensity method, revealed on the day. Step-ups can be performed without momentum; no jumping anywhere.
