This program's objective is to train all muscle groups for about 10 sets per week. It is a great starting point for novices who want to gain as much size as quickly as possible.

All of the exercises are performed using straight sets with a repetition range of 10 to 20 repetitions. Rest time between sets is of at least 90 seconds, some exercises may require more than others.

Each exercise has to be executed with a target RBF of 4 to 0.

This is a 4-day program: hypothetically, day 1 is executed on a Monday and day 2 on a Tuesday, followed by a rest day on Wednesday, day 3 and day 4 are executed on Thursday and Friday respectively. It is structured as an upper-lower split. Day 1 and 3 train the lower body, 2 and 4 train the upper body.
