Short But Sweet Workout

November 29, 2006

Another short but effective power-producing routine that will have you seeing huge jumps in strength in no time at all – provided you follow the basics and lift properly.

This is a great program for individuals who are pressed for time, but still want to strength train for health, muscle gain and power.

Only multi-joint compound movements are used with absolutely, positively no isolation exercises involved. You will workout two days per week with some active rest (basketball, walking etc.) or cardio performed on off days.

Two days is all that’s required because the program is tough because of the intense workload in the small amount of time. But it will raise your strength and endurance levels through the roof. These exercises are hard but they work. Stick with it and the results will astound you.

Short But Sweet Workout

Day One:
Squats
Power Cleans
Overhead Press or Push Press

Day Two:
Deadlifts
Bench Press or Dips
Shrugs or Rows

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.
