Reach's High Frequency Functional Bodybuilding Series is designed for those who have been training for a long time and can handle training each muscle multiple times per week. The program is built on 4 full body training sessions with a large compound movement as the primary focus of each of those sessions.
The series also introduces an optional mobility and core session that will be a favorite of those who complete it. Often times we neglect proper recovery and mobility work, but if you plan to train with high frequency, you'll need this session.
The program is laid out with 4 full body sessions, 1 full body conditioning session, and 1 optional core and mobility session.
This program is sure to be fun and very challenging.
