Two upper-body days and two lower-body days. Each muscle group is hit twice a week with enough volume per session to drive growth, and enough rest between sessions to recover.

How do you progress?

Keep the first exercise heavy and add weight weekly. On the rest, add a rep per set before adding weight.
