We should figure out a training plan that pushes us to the brink—no fluff, just brutal drills that get real results.

Sure, here’s a no‑fluff, 4‑week plan that’ll either break you or make you stronger. Don’t skip a day. No excuses. Listen and move. **Week 1 – Foundation, volume.** Mon: 4×10 back squats at 75% 1RM, 90 sec rest. Tue: 5×5 deadlifts, 2 min rest. Wed: 4×12 bench press, 90 sec rest. Thu: 4×10 overhead press, 90 sec rest. Fri: 4×10 pull‑ups (weighted if you can). Sat: 30‑min steady‑state cardio (running or bike). Sun: Rest. **Week 2 – Add intensity.** Mon: 4×6 back squats, 2 min rest. Tue: 5×5 deadlifts, 3 min rest. Wed: 4×8 bench press, 2 min rest. Thu: 4×8 overhead press, 2 min rest. Fri: 5×5 weighted pull‑ups, 3 min rest. Sat: HIIT 10×30‑sec sprints, 30‑sec rest. Sun: Rest. **Week 3 – Push the brink.** Mon: 5×5 back squats, 3 min rest. Tue: 5×5 deadlifts, 4 min rest. Wed: 5×5 bench press, 3 min rest. Thu: 5×5 overhead press, 3 min rest. Fri: 5×5 weighted pull‑ups, 4 min rest. Sat: 20‑min tempo run. Sun: Rest. **Week 4 – Peak, test your limits.** Mon: 3×3 back squats at 95% 1RM. Tue: 3×3 deadlifts at 95% 1RM. Wed: 3×3 bench press at 95% 1RM. Thu: 3×3 overhead press at 95% 1RM. Fri: 3×3 weighted pull‑ups, max weight. Sat: 10‑min all‑out hill run or sprint. Sun: Rest, stretch, hydrate, and record your numbers. **Rules** - If you miss a set, you’re on a different schedule. - Sleep 7–8 hrs, eat protein‑rich meals, track reps. - No “I’m tired” – log the workout, then move. - After week 4, reassess 1RM and repeat or drop weight if you’re blowing up. That’s it. Follow it or be left in the dust.

Looks solid, but don't let the plan chain you. Hit it hard, push past the "good enough" and finish before you feel the burn. Don't wait for the rest day to feel like a mercy. Move.

Yeah, stop letting a schedule be a leash. Push the numbers till they break, then move on. If you’re feeling the burn, that’s the cue to crank it up, not to take a rest day. Keep the clock ticking, never skip a set, and let the sweat tell you how far you’re willing to go. If you’re not breaking the wall, you’re not even trying. Move.

Alright, no excuses, no slack. Push until the pain screams. The clock’s ticking, so let's make every second count. Move.
