Part 4: Sample P.O.P Training Programs and Finishing Touches

Sure, your current training program is probably very effective, but for the body you want, P.O.P. Training may be for you. The biggest flaw of ordinary training programs is that they're designed to stimulate all muscle groups in one unified fashion. The human body is made up of multiple muscle fibers that require extremely different stimulation for maximum muscle size. Because of this, a combination of higher, lower and max reps is vital to stimulate all type I and type II muscle fibers. The key to long term progress is variation.

The objective is to stimulate muscle fibers and then let them recover again as much as possible. This allows for maximum recovery and optimal gains. A good way to support the recovery process is through supplementation. Scientifically advanced pre- and/or post-workout supplements can help inhibit catabolism and promote muscle growth.
