So I had Covid and took a week off the gym and exercise in general. This has been my first week off for 2 years. Pre Covid i was in an U/L/R split, high volume and intensity ( 8 sets Quads&Hams per session/ 12 sets Back and chest per session/ allways finishing with 3 Sets biceps SS triceps SS Side Delts).
I am a Intermediate Lifter with main goal being hypertrophy. After this week off I think it would probably be benefical to start again on an lower amount of volume so here is my Plan:
Full Body 3 Times per week
Workout A:
4 sets RDLS 6-8 reps @ RPE 7
4 sets Leg Extensions 10-15 reps @ RPE 8
4 sets Chest Supported T Bar Row 6-8 reps @ RPE 8
4 sets Incline DB Bench 8-12 reps @ RPE 8
Biceps/Triceps/Side Delts 3 Sets each
Workout B:
4 sets Hack Squat 6-10 reps @ RPE 8
4 sets lying Hamstring Curls 10-15 reps @ RPE 8
4 sets Pull ups 6-12 reps @ RPE 8
4 sets Bench 6-8 reps @ RPE 8
Biceps Triceps Side Delts 3 Sets each
I would progressivly overload with double Progression and increase RPE every week or byweekly.
Is this enough for hypertrophy? Too simplistic? I want to run this for ~ 6-8 Weeks and than increase weekly volume through sets, so than i will switch back to U/L/R.
What are your thoughts and opinions? Male, 23 YO btw
