Since, this program will make perfect sense to you then. But note, these workouts are meant to be flexible; feel free to change stuff. For example, this program is upper-body focused. But, if you really want to grow your legs, then you could train those more. Or, let's say you don't want to train forearms or neck. In that case, you can literally just skip those lifts, and do the rest of the workout as desired. And, while we suggest certain rep ranges, anything from ~5-30 reps per set is fine. With that, enjoy...
