Novice Bodybuilding 2 is a four-day program designed around helping lifters maximize hypertrophy in a proportional manner. It is not for completely new lifters, but it is for folks who have been in the gym for less than a year, who can make small amounts of progress workout to workout.
The program has more exercises than a program for powerlifting or pure strength, to ensure all muscle groups are adequately trained, and has a higher total volume compared to powerlifting programs, which shouldn't use as high a volume because the loads are high on the more stressful movements.
There are two “strength” days and two “volume” days. Strength development complements the accumulation of training volume and aids hypertrophy (muscle growth) by allowing heavier loads to be used over time.
Because skill development is not as important to a bodybuilder as it is to a powerlifter, and because greater volumes are performed on each day, a lower/upper split is used to balance out fatigue and recovery across the week.
Like all the Muscle and Strength Pyramid programs, Novice Bodybuilding 2 is set up based around the fundamental scientific principles and priorities of resistance training, and is informed by the latest, highest quality research.
