Strength Training
Frequency: 3 Days Per week (M-w-F) Time: about 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 pounds
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 will 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.
