Max Muscle Layer Schedule

Based on the information in the Max Muscle Layering thread, I pulled together a 6-month schedule of how this could be done.

Let me know if anything is off, or if there have been revisions.

Yes, they are autoregulating so you do the same all of the weeks. It’s mentioned in the thread I linked in the first post, but a bit hard to find.

any success running this? Looks really bad ass. I need to get something to stick to bad and i’m between this and a conjugate program.

Due, that’s 6 years old :slight_smile:

In all seriousness, rarely is planning 6 months in advance optimal because a lot of things can changein 6 months, including how your body responds to training.
