Principles
- Double progression: reps and/or load per target RIR.
- Effective weekly volume per muscle: 10–20 sets, adjusted.
- Compounds + accessories that feel stable for you.
- Wide rep ranges (5–30) with consistent technique.
Pragmatic framework for hypertrophy and strength you can keep for years.
3–5 days/week. Each session: 1–2 compounds + 2–4 accessories. 60–90min.
Add reps within the range; once you hit the top with target RIR, add minimum load.
Sleep 7–9h, daily steps, protein 1.6–2.2 g/kg. Deloads when fatigue signals accumulate.
