Reddit reviews The M.A.X. Muscle Plan

Brad Schoenfeld's M.A.X. Muscle Plan. The plan incorporates lots of variety. It's a fairly long program (26 weeks, I think) that's composed of several mesocycles that alternate between strength and hypertrophy training. Each week (microcycle) changes up the exercises, # of sets, # of reps, rest interval, as well as adding some supersets. In addition to the healthy number of stiff legged dead lifts and good mornings already in the program, it calls for leg curls, leg extensions and leg presses. I don't have those machines in my home gym, so I just did stiff legged deadlifts, trap bar deadlifts, good mornings, Bulgarian split squats or hip thrusters instead.

Good work! Just keep in mind you don't need to kill yourself on every set. A great book I'd recommend to someone getting started in lifting is the MAX Muscle Plan by Brad Schoenfeld - he is pretty much the go to guy when it comes to research on how to build muscle and the book incorporates a lot of great strategies for building muscle, like scaling volume, intensity and frequency over time.

The M.A.X. Muscle Plan by Brad Schoenfeld.

Edit: A good exercise plan is not much without a good diet. So, for the diet, follow The Lean Muscle Diet by Alan Aragon. (It has an exercise plan, too. But, ignore that in favor of The M.A.X. Muscle Plan.)
