The document outlines different full body and upper/lower body workout splits that last between 4-6 weeks each. It also provides guidance on testing maxes and includes disclaimers.

The document describes full body splits that train the entire body in one session as well as upper/lower splits that separate the body into two sessions per week. It also mentions optional extra workout days.

When testing maxes, it recommends always using a spotter and safety bars, not testing if feeling unrecovered or injured, starting with a weight you can lift for 5 reps and increasing weight each attempt until reaching a 9.5 RPE, and taking 5 minutes of rest between attempts.
