MusclePharm's 10-Week Bulking Blueprint Challenge: Week 5 Workout Routine

Greetings to Week 5 of the 10-Week Bulking Blueprint Challenge! This week's workout plan brings the heat—aim to up the ante by increasing weight every set and holding tension for a solid 5 seconds at the end of each set.

As always, bear in mind that the right diet constitutes 70-80 percent of your success. Achieving your bulking goals becomes substantially easier with the correct diet. For Week 5, concentrate on fueling your body with ample protein, clean carbohydrates, and healthy fats. Use a macro calculator to pinpoint the right balance for maintaining a calorie surplus and propelling yourself towards your bulking objectives.
