Tough As Nails Workout
July 28, 2006
This is a routine used by a lot of the old timers to get big and strong. By no means is it easy, but if you stay consistent and keep working with progressively heavier weight – the size and strength you’ll gain will amaze you.
This is a 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.
As always, the main muscle groups will be worked and isolation exercises forsaken. Don’t worry, you don’t need them in your workouts anyway. This routine works the legs, back and pressing muscles – every area you need to train on to get big and strong.
Squats 5 x 5
Snatches 5 x 3
Bench Press 5 x 5
Clean and Jerk 5 x 5
Chins 2 x 8
Notes: Train 2-3 times per week. You can add grip and ab work if you choose and feel free to change the set and rep schemes to suit your purposes. Like I always preach, eat right, get plenty of rest and follow a consistent workout 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.
