THE TEMPLATE
Beginner Bulk #1
Torso x Lower [chest]
Session 1 of 4. A personal favourite, this heavily upper focused template is designed to pack mass on to the upper body while still developing a balanced overall frame.
You’ll start with chest, complete the rest of your torso, and then wrap up with legs and abs. Optional exercises are highlighted and can be skipped if you are low on time, for more info see the bottom of the page.

If you can’t hit the lowest number for any set then take the weight down by the smallest amount for the next set.
If you hit the highest number for 2 back to back sets then increase the weight by around 5% for the next set.

WARM UPS
If an exercise requires a warm up do 1 set for 15-20 reps with approximately half the weight you’ll be using, but keep the rest time the same.
You can skip the warm up for exercises that only ‘recommend’ it to save time however if you can you should try to do one anyway – think extra set = extra gains.
