General strength plan

4-day low-volume, ultra-high-intensity "Blood & Guts" bodybuilding split

Advanced lifters who prefer short, brutal workouts built around 1 feeder set and 1 all-out Top Set per exercise rather than high-volume marathon sessions.

Before choosing this plan

Warm up thoroughly before each movement’s all-out Top Set, and keep eccentrics controlled (3 seconds down) to protect joints.

Equipment

Barbell and plates
Squat rack with safeties
Bench
Dumbbells
Lat pulldown and cable station
Leg press, leg extension, and leg curl machines

Progression in this app

Loads follow the supplied set and percentage schedule. There is no automatic increase after each session; review your reference weights before repeating the cycle. Guided starting weights remain under your control.

About this template

Splits training into Day 1 (Shoulders/Triceps), Day 2 (Back/Rear Delts), Day 3 (Chest/Biceps), and Day 4 (Legs) with 1 feeder set + 1 all-out top set.
