Alex BromleyFor intermediate lifters used to high volume who want to build strength and size over a long cycle.
This plan revives the old-school approach where lifters built brute strength with workload accumulation, compound variations, and bodybuilding work instead of complex periodization. Rather than frequently changing schemes, it emphasizes steady workload first, then intensity once capacity is built. The intent is to return to a simpler method that consistently produces real strength and size.
프로그램 구성
Runs 18 weeks, 4 days per week with an upper/lower split. Phase one focuses on volume using moderate loads and compound variations to build capacity. Phase two raises intensity with lower reps while keeping accessory work for hypertrophy and weak-point coverage. Loads are given as ranges to adapt to recovery, with self-regulated deload when fatigue accumulates.

Protect sleep, nutrition, and recovery to sustain high volume long enough to benefit. Deload if performance is clearly suppressed, aiming for consistency and longevity across the 18 weeks.
