Similar to the Hypertrophy I Template, this template is one of our preferred off-season templates for strength athletes for those who need to gain muscle mass. Alternatively, the Hypertrophy II template is a great template for those who are interested in losing body fat who have already ran the Hypertrophy I Template.

Hypertrophy II is designed for individuals who meet the following criteria:
This is a 10-week strength and conditioning program that includes 6 workouts per week broken up as follows:
It is 100% okay to mix and match elements of the training week to fit your schedule, however we recommend keeping the putting the lifting days non- consecutively (e.g. M/W/F or T/R/Sat) when possible.
Equipment-wise, we recommend that folks have a pair of Olympic lifting shoes, running shoes, cross-training sneakers, and a lifting belt. Straps, wraps, etc. can be used as needed per the lifter’s discretion, but they aren’t explicitly needed.
With respect to strength training, Hypertrophy II allows the individual to select the types of lifts they want to perform.
Hypertrophy II also comes pre-programmed with our recommended programming. We suggest users run the “default” program first or only change exercise variations they don’t have the equipment for or cannot perform. That being said, we feel that the variations available for selection are equivalent when it comes to training outcomes like strength and hypertrophy.
After Hypertrophy II, you can pick a number of different paths. One option is to run it again using the same exercises if you saw good progress the first time. Alternatively, you could repeat the program using different exercises for a slightly different flavor. Finally, you could move to one of our other programs such as our Powerbuilding I, Strength I, Titan I, or Endurance programs. We generally recommend individuals pick a strength or endurance- focused programs after completing Hypertrophy II.
