About this program
Six-week chest specialization block for the lifter with a lagging chest. Chest is trained 3 times per week with three distinct stimulus types: heavy compound work (4-6 reps), high-volume hypertrophy (8-12 reps), and pump-style isolation (12-15+ reps). Other body parts drop to one maintenance session each per week.
Four training days per week (Mon/Tue/Thu/Fri). Mon: Heavy chest + light back maintenance. Tue: Light pull + legs maintenance. Thu: Volume chest + light triceps. Fri: Pump chest + arms. Six weeks linear progression — load creeps up while volume sustains. Best for intermediate bodybuilders with at least 12 months of training and a clear chest weakness.
