Slightly Less Boring But Big

Build Muscle

3 weeks / 4 days per week

If you just don't have the time to do the "normal" Boring But Big or if the "5x10" protocol does not work for you this is a great template. Instead of 5 sets of 10, you will be doing 3 sets of 10. For conditioning, do something easy on as many days as you wish provided you do so in a manner that allows recovery. If you want to do harder conditioning work such as running hills, only do it two times per week. The goal is strength and size - so don't use this template if your goal is conditioning based. BBB is always a Leader template. After finishing either two or three cycles of BBB, you will change to an Anchor template. There are a number of different templates to choose from.
