A Typical, Solid Workout Week: Monday
April 23, 2007
Here’s a nice little routine to get your weekday started. In upcoming posts, we’ll be doing a Wednesday routine and a Friday routine just to give you an example of how to lift for variety during a typical week.
Monday starts with a nice basic power routine to get your muscles excited, happy and growing.
No need to explain what to do – you know my mantra by now – lift hard, heavy and intense on basic multi-joint exercises for max strength, health and growth.
Bench Press
Squats
Overhead Press
Deadlifts
Curls
Notes: Train consistently and use whatever set and rep scheme you feel comfortable with. It could be one or two sets to failure, 5 x 5, singles, doubles, triples – anything you want, so long as you’re consistent and work hard. Add weight to the bar whenever possible and get lots of rest, eat good food and drink plenty of water.
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.
