Workouts

Strength Training

Frequency: 3 days per week (M-W-F)
Time: 45-60 minutes

This program is designed to emphasize overall strength development. This is an advanced routine to be used only after

you have progressed from the advanced general conditioning routine and only after you have perfected your exercise

techniques. Work each set to near exhaustion. If you can perform more than 5 to 8 reps, you should increase your

resistance 5 lbs and decrease your reps to 5. Rest 60–120 seconds between each set and exercise. Focus on proper

form. Tighten the muscle before you move, squeeze the muscle as you move, cramp the muscle at the point of full

contraction, and resist the movement as you lower the weight. Move slowly on each rep. Use a pace that would allow

you to stop the movement instantly at any point in the rep. Count two seconds up and four seconds down and work to

fatigue during each set.
