Workout Description
Train four different exercises per muscle group, 3 sets of each (plus warmup). Your first exercise is done very heavy to build maximum strength. The next is performed slightly lighter to focus on muscle size, the third is done even lighter to target muscle endurance and the final exercise is done with very light weights to pump the muscle and encourage the release of mucle building hormones.
Workout Notes
Do all exercises with a weight that allows you only to do the prescribed amount of reps. Increase the weight each week if you can. Add cardio inbetween workout days for added shape and tone.
