Hey, do you guys think this is beneficial?

Week 1:

Push A (Heavy):

Flat Barbell Bench Press: 4 sets x 4–6 reps (Heavy)

Incline Barbell Bench Press: 3 sets x 6 reps

Dumbbell Shoulder Press: 3 sets x 6–8 reps

Triceps Pushdowns: 3 sets x 8–10 reps

Push B (Hypertrophy):

Dumbbell Bench Press: 4 sets x 10–12 reps

Incline Dumbbell Bench Press: 3 sets x 10–12 reps

Lateral Raises: 3 sets x 12–15 reps

Triceps Overhead Cable Extension: 3 sets x 12–15 reps

The next week would swap with Hypertrophy and Heavy.

    This is basically what PHUL does, except without the lower body days, and you’re also missing pull work and biceps. Check out PHUL if you haven’t already.

        Seems fine then, though I think you could probably dial back the pressing a bit. 17 sets of press variations per week does a bit high.

      Just get thinner without losing too much muscle and if possible gain muscles.

      I weight 77 kg 175 cm tall

        So primarily hypertrophy then? Undulating periodisation is nothing new and can be an effective tool to use.

        If you’re new to training, I would caution you to make your own program at first though. You will likely experience great results by picking a proven beginners linear progression program. Newbie gains are very real, and you’ll grow from pretty much anything at the start. Better to pick something safe and learn how your body respond to resistance training.
