Workout Program Description

This program uses the "big four" exercises: Bench Press, Power Clean, Deadlift, and Squat. They are spread across three days. Use this program to gain muscle mass quickly. This is not a cardio program, so take your time between sets. Go for big weight, but even more importantly, be sure to use proper form.

Workouts

Description

This day will use 2 of "The Big Four": Bench & Power Clean. It then rips the chest and shoulders apart with Dips, Side Lateral Raises, and Shrugs. It finished off with a couple neck exercises. The pattern I'm using is 12 and then 8 reps. Make sure you use enough weight to go to failure for each set. Most importantly, focus on form! Worry less about weight and more about form.
