Do This Routine Instead of That Dumb One

Everyone except Kvetch probably, lol.

Anyway, here’s a higher frequency routine that I’ve used with great success for those who want to try hitting each bodypart 2x a week and have 6 days a week to workout. People like to call this “push/pull/legs.”

*1 set to failure for each exercise except where otherwise noted
*rest 90-120 secs between ramp sets and up to 3 mins before final set to failure
*should be able to finish these workouts in an hour or less
