PROGRAM OVERVIEW

Hyperion is a hypertrophy based program designed to build muscle mass while also improving the athlete's speed endurance. Training is scheduled to be 5 days a week but can also be done as 3-4 days per week if being used concurrently with another program. It requires equipment typically found at the standard globo or garage gym to be completed as written. As a hypertrophy program, the focus is on muscular growth, not increasing lift performance or strength PRs.

This is a simple program to follow and progress through, and requires little technical lifting experience. This protocol is also repeatable by changing out the exercises used in order to target different areas you might also want to improve on.

LOADING

All loading is based off of how the athlete feels, or DBM, which stands for "difficult but manageable". This means to choose a challenging load that feels heavy, but still allows for proper technique and doesn't bring the athlete to complete failure during the block. Objective is to be at your chosen “DBM” load by the middle set of the total required. For example, if you are doing 5 Blocks total, attempt to be at DBM by the 3rd Block. Keep good records of the loading because, as the protocol progresses and loading get easier, an attempt should be made to end up slightly heavier than the previous session.

Who is this program most appropriate for?

This protocol is most appropriate for the athlete wanting to add a bit of mass to their frame with a basic but structured program. The volume in each session is based on feel and can easily be individually scaled to meet current levels of fitness.

How long are the training sessions?

The gym-based sessions are structured in a way that can be completed in an hour or less. The endurance based training sessions vary, but should be completed in under 30 minutes.

Why do some of the sessions show 2-3 blocks?

The range of blocks allows for each individual to scale session this portion of the training session based on whether they’d like a little more, or a little less.

How should I train if I cannot maintain a 5 on, 2 off schedule?

It is ideal that you train 5 days in a row with 2 full days off for rest. If you miss a session for some reason, avoid skipping ahead and start again where you left off and complete the sessions in order throughout the plan. If you miss more than a few days in a training week you should start that training week from the beginning in order to get the most out of this training program.
