Three days a week training plan

Eternal classic. You can be a beginner, you can be a pro, with 3 times of working out a week you can reach any of your goals, while you can make time for anything else in your life.

It’s useless to split the entire body into more than 3 sessions, and training the same muscle (except for abs and calves) more than once a week won’t yield proportionally more results either. If you want to train more often, chose one of the cyclic forms.

Instructions

  • go to failure in last 2 sets of each exercise
  • you can adjust the days if something emerges, just try to finish all the workouts in a week while keeping at least 1 day rest between the workouts
  • reps in () are for warming up

Hey all, it took me almost a year, but my blog-website combo is finally ready to go public. It's still not completely ready though, but I hope that by publishing I'll motivate myself more.
