About this program
Twelve-week intermediate program for the lifter who wants both strong powerlifts and a bodybuilder's physique — without the caloric deficit of a fat-loss block. Five training days per week split as Push / Pull / Legs / Upper / Lower. Each session opens with a powerlifting-style main lift (5×3-5 at 82%+) and follows with bodybuilding accessory volume (3-4×8-15).
The program is anchored by squat (Mon, Fri), bench (Mon, Thu), and deadlift (Tue, Fri). Three 4-week phases progressively raise compound intensity while accessory volume sustains. Phase 1 (wks 1-4) at 80%, Phase 2 (wks 5-8) at 85%, Phase 3 (wks 9-12) at 88-92% with a final-week test of all three.
No cardio prescribed — this is built for maintenance calories or a slight surplus. Pair with high protein (1.6-2.0 g/kg). Best for intermediate lifters who want to look like they lift while still adding to their PRs — and don't want a cutting block to interfere with progress.
