Muscle Assault Workout

July 30, 2007

This is a two day a week routine that will assault your muscles into growth.

The workout is a variation of the split routine, done over a two-day period, so you get longer recovery time. It is suitable for people with very little time. However, you still need to train hard and intense for it to work.

I know I sound like a broken record on this blog sometimes. That’s because true principles need to be repeated so the message is driven home. The way to get bigger in the gym is to train hard and intense with heavy weights (whatever heavy is for you), while taking ample time off for recovery and and proper nutrition.

Do this and you will grow bigger and stronger. You have to. It’s a law of nature. The law of stress and how proper stress on a muscle with time for healing will cause that muscle to grow. Simple as that. There are no shortcuts. Work hard and intense or go home.

Try and increase the weights or reps you are doing every session, to ensure you are progressing.

Muscle Assault Workout

Squats or Deadlifts

Notes: Train consistently. Follow the sets and reps that feel right to you, 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.
