Beginners to intermediates who want serious hypertrophy with low injury risk and long-term carryover
This program was built to provide an upper/lower hypertrophy framework that works for a wide range of lifters while preparing them for heavier strength work later. The author emphasized not only muscle growth but also resilience, adding mobility and stability in common injury zones so people can train hard for years without breaking down. It avoids gimmicks and relies on proven movements and a clear, trackable progression model.
It is a 12-week, 4-day upper/lower split: Upper, Lower, Rest, Upper, Lower, Rest, Rest. Sessions take ~60 minutes with full-gym equipment. Progression uses dynamic double progression: reach the top of a rep range, then add load. Intensity is RPE-driven rather than percentage-based. Movements combine robust compounds and accessories plus targeted mobility/stability work. Rest days are built in and can be shifted to fit life schedules.
Track every lift so double-progression actually happens. Prioritize recovery before adding volume. Apply RPE honestly — push but keep required reps-in-reserve. Use AMRAPs for accumulation without breaking form. Don’t chase novelty — chase quality and consistency. Don’t skip mobility/stability blocks. Eat and sleep like someone who expects to grow. Judge results after the full 12 weeks, not prematurely.

Paris Butler, known online as Bald Omni-Man, is a strength coach and content creator whose YouTube channel focuses on long-term, evidence-informed lifting strategies. He brings together his interest in culture (anime, gaming, Western art) with serious training methodology in order to make strength training engaging and sustainable for lifters of all levels.
