Overall Framework

Goal: Strength → Hypertrophy → Endurance rotation
Equipment available: Barbells, dumbbells, kettlebells, cables, squat rack, leg press, Swiss balls, etc.
Phase 1 – Weeks 1–4: Foundational Strength
| Day | Focus | Intensity | Reps | Sets | Rest | Tempo | Goal |
| --------- | --------------------- | ---------- | ----- | ---- | ------- | --------- | -------------------- |
| Monday | Heavy / Explosive | 80–90% 1RM | 3–6 | 1–3 | 3–5 min | Explosive | Strength & Power |
| Wednesday | Moderate / Controlled | 65–75% 1RM | 8–12 | 3–5 | 1–3 min | 3-1-1 | Hypertrophy |
| Friday | Light / High Volume | 50–65% 1RM | 15–20 | 4–6 | ≤90 sec | 2-2-2 | Endurance & Capacity |
PHASE 2 – Weeks 5–8: Progressive Overload & Volume Expansion
Adjustments:
Increase weight by 2.5–5% across all lifts if form and speed remain strong.
Add 1 set to primary movements (legs/push/pull) on each day.
Core movements stay the same but increase difficulty (heavier loads or slower tempo).
Week 8 = Deload week → reduce all volume by 40%, maintain movement patterns.
