In this episode of the Lift Podcast, Coach Harry breaks down the concept of specialist training programs—what they are, why they work, and how to use them to overcome genetic weak points and build a balanced physique. Whether you're struggling to bring up lagging muscle groups or looking to optimize your recovery, this episode provides practical insights to help you tailor your training for maximum growth.

Key Takeaway:

A specialist program allows you to focus on weaker muscle groups by reducing volume on stronger ones, freeing up recovery resources and energy to enhance muscle growth where you need it most. For most lifters, 2-6 working sets per week can maintain a muscle, while targeted muscles benefit from higher frequency and volume. Specialist programs are especially useful for advanced lifters or those with noticeable imbalances.
