why it works
3 key reasons
Short rest + compound lifts = EPOC effect. You keep burning calories hours after the workout.
Unilateral work: each side works on its own, without the stronger one compensating for the weaker.
6 days: high frequency, each group trained twice a week to maximize total volume.
