What this block is

Hamstring Specialisation runs as a 4-week block, 4 days a week, and there are 48 distinct sessions in it. No two share an exercise sequence and no two share a title, so a block gives you a different session every time you train it. The progression comes from load, volume and density — not from handing you the same workout again under a new name.

It is written at beginner, intermediate and advanced, so it is picked to match where you actually are rather than where a programme assumes you are.

It carries the Muscle Gain nutrition template, so the way you eat matches the block you are in. A strength phase and a fat-loss phase are not fed the same way.

Every exercise in it has its own animation of the movement inside the app. No stick figures, and no written description standing in for a demonstration.

How you actually get it

Read every session on this page first — that is what it is here for. When you want it as your plan, Pete sets the loads, fits it round the days you can actually train and the kit you have, and signs it off before it reaches your app. Six questions is all it takes, and if your training changes you go back and take a different route.

The rest of the Specialisation tier

Four weeks pointed at one thing, with enough around it to keep you balanced.
