Plan Description
Understanding the Goal
The aim is to build muscle mass while reducing body fat, focusing on full body strength.
Program Structure
We'll follow a 4-day split focusing on different muscle groups each day.
Monday: Legs and Core
Tuesday: Chest, Shoulders, Triceps
Thursday: Back, Biceps
Saturday: Full Body Circuit
Key Considerations
Progressive overload: Gradually increase weight, reps, or sets over time.
Nutrition: Consume a balanced diet with adequate protein for muscle repair and growth.
Rest: Prioritize sleep for recovery. Aim for 7-9 hours of sleep per night.
Hydration: Stay well-hydrated throughout the day.
Listen to your body: If you experience pain, adjust the program or consult a healthcare professional.
Note: Always consult with a healthcare professional before starting any new workout regimen.
