The Fantastic Four Workout

April 12, 2009

Good morning and a Happy Easter to everyone who celebrates it. I have a nice workout for you to help burn off the heavy eating you’re sure to do today.

I call it the Fantastic Four Workout because, in my humble opinion, you’ll be performing the four best exercises for building mass and power.

The four exercises are: squats, deadlifts, overhead press, and bench press. These are the big, multi-joint movements that when combined with heavy weights, equals bulk and strength for you.

I don’t want to make this long because I know you have things to do and family to hang out with. Enjoy today and try this program tomorrow.

The Fantastic Four Workout

Overhead Press 5 x 5-8
Bench Press or Dips 5 x 5-8
Squats 5 x 5-8
Deadlifts 5 x 5-8

Notes: Workout 2-3 days per week. Three is the optimum but if that’s too much drop it down to two. You could throw in some shrugs, pulldowns and bent-over rows into the mix as well. There are no hard rules here. Everyone’s different. If you want to change the set/rep mix go right ahead and do it. The 5 x 5-8 works best for me but may not for you. As always, increase poundages whenever possible, eat right, get adequate rest, and drink lots of water. Train hard and heavy and you can’t go wrong.

Understand that to be successful in any weight training program – hard work is a must! Half-hearted effort does nothing for you. If you’re new to weight training or grossly out of shape, consult a physician first. End of disclaimer.

Stay tuned for a special announcement on Tuesday. I’m going to tell you how to get my Ultimate Workout Program, the program I created if you want to get big and strong faster than you ever thought possible, without drugs, for free!

The 3 x 3 x 3 Program

April 7, 2009

If you’re a veteran of the iron game, The 3 x 3 x 3 program is pretty easy to figure out.

It consists of three workout days with three lifts performed each workout for three reps. The sets can vary depending on your tastes, but the three days, three lifts, three reps is the basics of this power and bulk program.

This is a routine designed for heavy strength gains because a stronger muscle will be a bigger one as well. Trust me. To paraphrase Arthur Jones, “If you can curl 200 pounds, don’t you think your arms will be big enough to do anything with the possible exception of wrestling grizzly bears?”

Your goal should be to get big and strong first. Strength precedes huge muscle gains.

The workouts are not easy and don’t make them that way. You will not gain if you’re not willing to work hard. Yes you can do drugs, but that way leads to disaster. Natural training is what this blog is about. Work hard, stay persistent and you’ll get results – guaranteed!

Here’s your workout:

Notes: Use as heavy a weight as you can and add more when necessary. As always, increase poundages whenever possible, eat right, get adequate rest, and drink lots of water. Train hard and heavy and you can’t go wrong.
