Three week program, need feedback.
Here is a little background information guys - My name is Ian Dawe, and I am a 25 year old professional mixed martial artist. I haven't had the best of luck finding fights at 135lbs and am looking to put on some size before getting back in the ring late november and competing at 145lbs again.
I am not too familiar with putting on size that is also functional. I was given a 3 week program by a friend of mine who competes as a professional strong man. Can you give this program a peek and maybe add in some tweaks here and there? Let me know what you think.
What am I missing? If you have a program you think would be better suited for my goals I am all ears!
Thanks in advance.
