5 day muscle gain workout plan with weekly progression

Direct answer: A 5 day workout plan for muscle gain is ideal for spreading high-quality training volume across the week, maximizing recovery between muscle groups, and driving steady hypertrophy with progressive overload.

A structured 5 day hypertrophy split with push/pull/legs + upper/lower sessions, 10–20 sets per muscle, progressive overload, and a small calorie surplus for steady muscle gain.

This evidence-based program uses a Push/Pull/Legs + Upper/Lower structure to deliver the right weekly volume (10–20 sets per muscle), a repeatable progression model, and built-in recovery. It fits busy schedules while prioritizing big compound lifts and targeted accessories.

Notes: Use Thu/Sun as recovery days. Add 10–20 min easy cardio on one rest day if desired.

Swap options: DB bench ↔ machine press; cable fly ↔ pec-deck; pressdown ↔ skullcrushers.

Swap options: Back squat ↔ front squat; leg press ↔ hack squat; BSS ↔ walking lunge.

Swap options: RDL ↔ good morning; hip thrust ↔ glute bridge; ham curl ↔ Nordic lowers (assisted).

Tip: If scale weight isn’t up ~0.25–0.5%/week after two weeks, add 100–150 kcal/day.
