4 Day Split Maximum Strength Workout
If your goal is focused on enhancing strength, this routine is tailored for you. Designed for efficiency, the program aims to significantly boost your strength in the shortest possible timeframe.
Workout Description
This twelve-week program is designed to help you gain strength and get stronger throughout the entire body.
The overall volume of this program will be on the lower end, but the intensity will be extremely high.
For each lift, you will want to use 85 - 95% of your 1 rep max. For this reason, your rest periods will be quite long and will fall within the 2 min – 3 min range.
Commit to four days of training each week, with each session designed to be concise and effective, allowing you to complete your workout in under an hour, whether you're at a home gym or a traditional gym setting.
