Urs Olympia Prep 2025 – 5 day split

This is the exact program designed, written, tweaked and modified 100% with the goal of helping Urs Kalecinsky bring his best to the 2025 Olympia stage. The original split was a “floating” split that didn’t follow a seven day calendar. It also allowed for the option of 2-a-days. After running it for a couple months, Urs decided that working within the calendar week would be better for his schedule, adherence, and intern results overall. Here is the updated version still with the primary focus of bringing up back and arms to other body parts.
