Split
Day 1: Upper Body
Day 2: Lower Body
Day 3: rest/Abs
Day 4: Back and Chest
Day 5: Lower Body
Day 6: Shoulders and Arms
Day 7: Rest
I give you somewhat free reign over exercise choice try to mix it up somewhat frequently, at least once
every 2 weeks.
Sets listed are working sets. Use at least 3-4 warm up sets for the first exercise for each bodypart and at
least 1 warm up set for each subsequent exercise for that bodypart.
Rest times can vary between sets. Take as much time as you need to recover and refocus for your next set.
Obviously something like heavy squats will take more time (3-5 minutes) than something like curls (1-2
minutes)
I would avoid training to failure during the first 2 weeks. Let your body get adapted to the new frequency
& volume. Stop 1-2 reps short of failure on each set. Then during week 3 start going to failure on the last
set of a few exercises for each bodypart. Then for week 4 or 5 start going to failure for the last set of each
exercise and possibly some others. We will go by how you are feeling and how your body is handling it.
We will run this introductory cycle for 2-4 weeks until your body gets acclimated to the volume/frequency
then we will move to a more advanced protocol.
