I’ve done many different workout programs over the years. P90X, Insanity, Body Beast, UFC Fit, kettlebell routines, and various weight lifting split programs. The program I followed this time centered on heavy compound movements (squat, dead lift, bench press, overhead press, etc.) for low reps, and it’s definitely become my all-time favorite routine. Not only did it get results, the workouts were also enjoyable and made me feel incredible. Working in the 4-6 and 8-10 rep ranges with 2-3-minute rest between sets, my schedule for the week looked like this:

Monday: Chest (Barbell & Dumbbell Bench Press, Incline Bench, Face Pulls)


Tuesday: Back (Deadlifts, Pull-Ups, Rows)


Wednesday: Shoulders (Military Press, Lateral Raises, Bent-Over Rear Deltoid Raises)


Thursday: Legs (Barbell Squats, Leg Press/Lunges, Romanian Deadlifts)

Friday: Upper Body (Incline Bench, Bicep Curls, Close Grip Bench, Bicep Curls, Triceps Press)

Saturday, Sunday, Any Other Time: Rest, Stretch, Walking, Biking, Foam Rolling, HIIT
