2 VARIANTS Full Body Hypertrophy
A full-body plan for three training days a week with A/B rotation across two weeks. Workouts A and B both hit all muscle groups but with different exercises — stimulus variation without splitting up. Over two weeks each muscle gets hit 1.5× per week, much more than in a 2-day plan. Available in two equipment variants: Machines or Free Weight. Recommended timeframe 6–12 months, then graduate to 'Upper/Lower 4-Day' with four available training days.
Who is this plan for?
- Trainees with 6+ months of experience and three available training days per week
- Equipment setup per variant: gym with machines or gym with barbell setup
- Goal: higher per-muscle frequency than 2-day plans without a split
- Willingness to maintain a reasonably stable weekly rhythm with three training days
How it works
- A/B rotation across two weeks: Workouts A and B alternate. Over two weeks both workouts get executed three times — A three times in week 1, B three times in week 2.
- Push-pull order: Pressing and pulling movements alternate. The shoulder is not pre-loaded from prior bench pressing when reaching the overhead press.
- Heavy exercise first: The most demanding compound at position 1 — leg press or hack squat, squat or deadlift — performed in a fresh state.
- Double progression: First push reps up within the target range, then add weight and restart at the bottom of the rep range.
- Auto-deload on stalls: After two consecutive failed attempts the app reduces the load by 10% automatically.

Talk to your doctor before starting a new training program, especially if you have pre-existing conditions or haven't trained in a while. Start lighter than you think — good technique always comes before heavy weight.
