Alright I know you guys have seen the program before but im going to post it. A few ? when I add upper body work to this program would a mon-wed-thurs-sat split work. So the wed and sat would be the upper body work. For the upper body work can i take a page out of defranco’s WSFSB rep workout.
Also for the vert program what can i substite for reverse hypers. Im thinking good mornings since i dont have a glut ham machine. Does anyone have a link for dumbell swings or should i replace that with another exercise.
