Tough As Nails Workout – Part 2

July 29, 2006

This is another old-school workout that can get you big, strong and lifting heavy duty weight.

The program focuses on working brutally hard on a few lifts that can get you size and strength gains that are out of this world – provided you bust your ass and lift heavier poundages the stronger you get.

There is one isolation exercise involved but the rest of the routine is basic compound movements that really stress growth and overall power. This is another workout Mr. Muscle Magazine Steroid Man will avoid like the plague. Why? Because it’s tough and if you do it and keep doing it, you’ll be a tough as nails lifter.

Tough As Nails Workout – Part 2

Day One

Deadlifts 5 x 5
Squats 5 x 5
Bench Press 5 x 5
Rows 2 x 8

Day Two

Romanian Deadlifts 5 x 5
Front Squats 5 x 5
Incline Bench Press 5 x 5
Curls 2 x 8

Notes: Train 2-3 days per week. Get plenty of rest, good food and water. This program above uses the old 5 x 5 system advocated by Reg Park and others. If you want to try a different set and rep scheme – feel free to do so. Experiment and use whatever works for you. If doing the deads and squats together is too much, drop deads from day one and squats from day two. You will then be doing squats and deads once a week on a two-day lifting schedule.

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.
