Upper/lower/full body split
The complete plan, session by session, exactly as the SETR app delivers it.
This hybrid plan runs an upper and a lower session, a full body session, then upper and lower again. That is five sessions a week with every muscle trained two or three times, without ever overloading a single day. The full body session in the middle ties it together: moderate volume, a place to catch up on what is missing.
Who is it for? For anyone past the beginner stage with five slots a week to train.

How to progress on this plan
- Keep the same exercises for the whole block (8 to 12 weeks) and try to beat the previous session: one more rep or a little more weight.
- Once you hit the top of the rep range on every set while respecting the RIR, add weight and start again from the bottom of the range.
- Every 4 to 6 weeks, or as soon as fatigue builds up, take a lighter week: half the sets, same weights.
