A 5 Day Blast
For those of you who have time for a 5 day workout routine, it is the perfect opportunity to great results much quicker than those with a 3 day routine. This routine can be used to maintain your current physique or to improve on what you have and get bigger.
Even while doing a 5 day workout, you can still give each muscle group the proper attention and rest so that they can live up to your standards. You will do an extra 3 to 5 sets with this routine and you will really be putting on the weights.
All routines are based on a 7 day period and it is suggested that you take at least one day off so that your body can rest. On the 6th day after your 5 day weight regimen you can throw in a cardio workout to even things out a bit.
For the 5 day workout you want to work on the chest and biceps on day 1 for 1 hour, do cardio for 30 min and abs for 15 min on day 2, day 3 work on quads, hamstrings and calves for 45 min, day 4 1 hour on the back and triceps, much needed rest on day 5, shoulder for 30 min, cardio 30 min and abs 15 min on day 6 and again much needed rest on day 7.
You want to do all of these for 10 to 14 sets and 10-8-6-6 for the amount of reps. Do less sets for the smaller muscle groups and more sets for the larger muscle groups. These exercises with the right amount of sets and reps will not only build muscle strength.
It is most important to change the routine and exercises that you do. This should be done at least every 2 months in order to keep the necessary variety in your workout. If you are heavy lifting, you may want to check into having a spotter at the gym for safety purposes. Eat healthy, stay focused and get pumped. Good luck!
