Back to Basics Routine

August 24, 2010

If you’re stuck in a rut and have hit a plateau, this routine is just what the doctor ordered for you.

This program is a stripped down, bare-bones, no-nonsense routine that will have you back on track in no time.

The routine consists of the four basic power-building exercises worked two times a week at maximum intensity.

Two days a week is the best for this routine, but if you can handle more, give three days a week a try.

Stay on this program for about 8-12 weeks and then if you want to switch up, go back to your old routine.

Back to Basics Routine

Bench Press 3 x 8-10
Squats 3 x 10-15
Deadlifts 3 x 10-15
Overhead Press 3 x 8-10

Notes: Perform this workout two times per week, three if you can handle it. Start out with the same set and rep scheme for the first 4-6 weeks and then shift to a 5 x 5 for all lifts. Remember to warmup 5-10 minutes before going all out with routine. As always, increase poundages whenever possible, eat right, get adequate rest, and drink lots of water.
