Hypertrophy Day 1 — Push A ~50 min session

Chest, Shoulders, Triceps · Scored from exercise_hypertrophy_scores.xlsx · Per-exercise pages with rationale

Session logic: Cable isolation first (highest tension per rep, needs fresh muscles), then dumbbell stretch work, then barbell compound (progressive overload chassis). Shoulders next (highest-scoring muscle group in database). Triceps last (already pre-fatigued from pressing). Rest periods: 2–3 min between exercises, 60–90 sec between sets.
# Muscle ~Min Score Exercise
1 Chest — inner/upper 7–9 74 A High Pulley Chest Lateral
2 Chest — clavicular 7–9 67 B Incline Dumbbell Fly
3 Chest — compound 8–10 65 B Medium Grip Incline Barbell Bench Press
4 Shoulders — lateral 6–8 84 A Standing Low Pulley Deltoid Raise
5 Shoulders — front 6–8 79 A Seated Back Supported Low Pulley Alternated Front Deltoid Raise
6 Triceps — long head 6–8 76 A Incline Close Grip Barbell Triceps Curl
7 Triceps — lateral head 5–7 75 A Standing Two Arm Triceps Press Down on High Wall Pulley
5 of 7 exercises are A-grade (74–84). The two B-grade chest exercises (65–67) are included for stretch-under-load and progressive overload potential that cable isolation cannot provide. Total session: ~45–55 min including rest periods.
