About this routine
PHUL is a proven 4-day training split that combines power and hypertrophy work for optimal strength and muscle gains. Two days focus on heavy compound movements with lower reps to build raw strength, while two days emphasize higher volume to maximize muscle growth. Perfect for intermediate to advanced lifters looking to break through plateaus.
