Ultra-Abbreviated Week: Tuesday

November 20, 2007

This is the second of a five-part series running all week on Ultra-Abbreviated training.

For those unaware, ultra-abbreviated training goes a step further than even the HIT guys advocate. Ultra-abbreviated workouts consist of one or two exercises, usually worked to failure, and performed once or twice per week.

This series will focus on one exercise, worked brutally hard, everyday. So when you’re done, it will be five exercises done over five days. It’s lifting everyday with a twist.

If you decide to follow this routine, you’ll do the exercise of the day and end with a finisher That’s it, no more, nada. This is truly a very effective routine provided you work hard, eat right and get the proper rest.

Try this out for a month and watch what happens to your strength levels.

Ultra-Abbreviated Week: Tuesday

Overhead Press
Sledgehammer Lift

Notes: Use whatever set and rep scheme works for you. After the bench finish off with the sledgehammer lifts and that’s it. Your done. Make sure you lift heavy and with max intensity to get the full benefit from your efforts. The sledgehammer lift is just like it sounds – pound the sledgehammer over and over until you’re too damn tired to lift it anymore. Get plenty of rest, eat good food and drink lots of water. Remember to lift heavy and with max intensity.

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.
