monday: chest/delts (front/side)/calves
tuesday: lats/rear delt/traps/low back/abs
thursday: quads/hams/calves
friday: bis/tris/forearms/abs..........and it looks like he has taken Wed off. plus the weekend off. this all depends on what your goals are also.

Like Tank said...I take Wed and weekends off from the weights. You can rearrange the bodyparts somewhat if you wish, but it has to make sense for your body and your goals.

POWER:
-LEG PRESS CALF RAISE...4 X 6-8

REP RANGE:
-STANDING CALF RAISE...1 X 8-10, 1 X 10-12
-SEATED RAISE...2 X 12-15

SHOCK:
-SUPERSET: DONKEY CALF RAISE/SEATED RAISE...1-2 X 8-10 EACH
-DROPESET: LEG PRESS RAISE...1 X 10-12 DROP 6-8

A reverse crunch is when you lie on your back, hands at your sides. You then pull your knees in toward your chest and lift the low back slightly with low ab power.

For a close grip pullup, for lats, use a v-bar handle that you would use for CG pulldowns. Put over the bar and do your pullups. To train biceps you can have your palms facing you and focus on pulling with your arms and not your lats.

So this looks like a three week program. After the third week do you start back at week 1?



I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain...

Its a 3 week "cyclical" program...you do it for three weeks and keep repeating. I usually recommend 1 full week off after 3 straight cycles though, unless you are very advanced.

Thank you for your reply. Do you normally do 2-3 warm-up sets with light weight before hand?

For the first exercise of a bodypart, yes. However, after that, maybe only 1 warmup just to get my body into the new movement.
