The Workouts

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.
