    Default HLM hypertrophy day

    • starting strength seminar april 2024

    Would it bad idea to borrow a bit from the power building program to a standard HLM setup?

    Monday
    Close grip bench 3x5-8


    Wed
    Press(85-95% rotating)x 75-85%back off for 3 sets)
    Biceps/triceps/lat raise

    Friday
    Bench same as press

    Saturday
    DB incline/decline descending sets
    Chins/ upper back bodybuilding

    Lower body would be just the standard HLM plus "sprints" for conditioning

    As long as the added work isn't negatively carrying over into your main barbell work each day it's fine. That is generally the purpose of a split. It's to allow more specific per session volume with longer recovery times between sessions rather than lower per session volume but more frequent training. People have success both ways.
