The Training 411!
Training days follow a pattern of one heavy day (A day) followed by a light day (B day). For
example, one week would be an A day (Heavy leg workout), then the following week would be a
B day (Light leg workout). This of course can be adjusted to how you feel that day.

Cardio sessions should be done 6 hours prior/after lifting to ensure recovery, but it can also be done
post workout. High intensity cardio should last no longer than 20 minutes.

Accessory lifts can be done post workout on any workout as long as they dont interfere with the next
training day. (ex. Biceps before back day)

Weight training should last 1 1.5 hour.
