SUUPR Training Guides

Straight answers for choosing your SUUPR training style, setting volume, training close to failure, picking a split, growing specific muscles, recovering properly, and making better gym decisions.

The app calls it Training style, while normal lifters often search for training goal. These guides use both: product language where it matters, search language where people ask the question.
