Yes!

If you compete in bodybuilding, classic physique, or men’s physique, this template is going to generate some of the most advanced and effective training around. But if you’re just interested in putting on some muscle or keeping your muscle while you lose fat, this template is right up your alley as well!

Can you train via this template if you do functional fitness, MMA, or any other strength sports? You bet. Our best advice when mixing training is two-fold:

• If you do functional fitness or another sport, choose the 3 or 4 day training options and not the 5 or 6 day training options. This lets your body have the room to recover from both of your training commitments.
• When you rate your soreness and strength on the template, it adjusts the volume and gives you more or less work depending on how you’re recovering. Be very honest in filling out the ratings and if you’re sore from functional fitness or any other training. And if you feel it during your physique workouts, rate that accordingly! This way, your training of both can remain balanced and you won’t find yourself beat up and under-recovering.

These are big recommendations because if you try to add too much stuff to one program, you’ll fatigue much more than you can handle and you might find yourself overreached and with worse performance in all areas. As long as you make sure to effectively balance your workload and your recovery (by being honest with yourself and properly rating the physique template workouts), you can use these templates to build muscle for many other endeavors. Just be logical and don’t try to triple up on everything! If you have a coach/coaches for other sports, our best advice is to talk over your physique template use with them.

Good news!  You can use these high volume (hypertrophy) templates during any dieting phase (to gain weight, to lose weight, or maintain weight). The 3rd mesocycle “resensitization” is a lower volume phase and might be best used during a maintenance phase (to keep bodyweight steady).

It’s not recommended. We recommend that females use the dedicated Female Physique Training Templates for optimal results.

The minimum equipment requirements are:
* A barbell
* Adjustable Bench
* Squat Rack
* Free weights (Both Plates and Dumbbells) 
(all of which are / can support weight that will challenge you after 10 reps). 
If you have that basic equipment at home you can train there and skip the gym. There is no need for machines or any other “fancy” gym equipment.

If you compete in powerlifting, you want the PL Hypertrophy templates. If you compete in weightlifting (or want to get better at weightlifting) you want the Weightlifting Hypertrophy templates.

If you don’t compete in a specific sport, these physique templates are right up your alley. These can be used by physique competitors, regular fitness enthusiasts, or CrossFit athletes looking to add in hypertrophy training to their regimen.

Of-course while choosing more days will yield better results and recovery, we recommend choosing the number you are realistically able to stick with.

In that case, we recommend the full body option. If you want to emphasize another body part, it will require a separate template purchase.

Quite simply, if you pick a body part emphasis, it means the volume goes up on that particular body part while the volume for the other body part goes down (to minimum effective amounts). It does not mean the workouts are only for that body part (ex – full body means you split volume equally for your entire body and it does not imply you are doing full body workouts each day).

You can use these templates at a CF gym or a “globo” gym. If you use a CF gym for these, your exercise selection is limited due to lack of machines, but they’re still very effective without machines. If you work out at a “globo” gym, the templates will provide more variation of exercise selection. 

By “globo” gym, we mean most traditional gyms that have free weights and machines (think 24hr Fitness).
