lvysaur 4-4-8 linear progression.

What is lvysaur 4-4-8?

lvysaur's 4-4-8 is a fast early-intermediate linear progression for the main barbell lifts. Each lift adds a fixed amount of weight every week, and every lift is trained at two intensities off one number: heavy 4-rep work at your full weight and higher-rep 8-rep work at 90% of it.

The week alternates between an A layout and a B layout across a two-week rotation, so over six training days you squat, bench, press, row, deadlift and chin with a balanced mix of strength and volume. Some days finish a main lift with an AMRAP set to push the progression.
