The bodybuilders' most common pastime, trying to increase the efficiency of his/her program to maximize muscular gains. I design all my programs on my own and they are customized to my liking so some aspects of this program may not suit you.

It is based on six meals per day, and training 4 times per week. I've put a lot of research into designing this total program, and will keep a week by week journal of my training and progress.
