What is PHUL?
PHUL — Power Hypertrophy Upper Lower — is a four-day powerbuilding split: an upper and a lower power day for strength, plus an upper and a lower hypertrophy day for size. It delivers powerbuilding results on a manageable four-day schedule.
LiftLab runs the full thirteen-week structure, rounds working weights to your plates, and tracks both strength and hypertrophy progress so the split stays organised week to week.
