Hacking things is good, but for some things, there just is no shortcut. Getting strong is not something you can hack. You need to do progressive resistance training using compound movements and consume a large amount of protein. That's it. There are different methods for achieving this, and they are not all equally good, but if you ask someone who is legitimately strong, they can point you to a proven routine.

If there's any "hacking" left to be done in this space, it's probably diet-related (nutrient timing techniques like intermittent fasting, carb back-loading, etc) and not workout-related.
