047 How to write the perfect program
About this episode
The episode explores the concept of the perfect workout and provides a framework for structuring training programs based on individual goals and priorities.
In this episode of Hypertrophy Past & Present , Jake and Chris break down what the “perfect” workout actually looks like. The episode begins with a deep dive into a pre-steroid era full body program from Arthur Jones, before expanding into a framework for structuring training based on your goals, time, and priorities. Key topics include: • An analysis of Arthur Jones’ early full body program • A framework for building programs: bare minimum, minimalist, and maximalist • The difference between minimalist and “consolidated” training approaches • How to adjust a program based on which muscles you do or don’t care about • A common mistake science based lifters make: over-optimising one variable while ignoring others
