28-Day BUILD MUSCLE & STRENGTH

For those who want more muscle, not just a lower scale weight. Train your chest, back, legs, shoulders and arms with a structured strength routine.

Focus and how to use this plan

A strength-first path for people who describe themselves as skinny fat. Follow our existing 28-day Muscle Mass schedule, using a towel and sturdy elevated supports where demonstrated. Prioritise controlled form and recovery; repeat sessions or take additional rest as needed. Muscle growth takes time beyond this four-week starting block.

Work through the calendar in order. A missed day does not erase your progress: resume where you left off rather than doubling the next session. Recovery days belong to the plan and can be marked complete after you take them.

Time: 9–25 min per training day, plus setup and any additional breaks. Equipment: Home items. Check each demonstration before starting; household supports must be stable and not slide.

These are site-written usage notes. The daily session names and original video links come from the channel's existing schedules. No outcome is guaranteed.
