Workout Program Description
5 Day Plan - 3 days of weight training, 2 days of interval running. 1 minute rest between reps.
5 sets per exercise for the 4 main body parts (chest, back, quads, hamstrings). The first 4 sets go down in reps and up in weights. The last set is 12 reps at the original weight.

5 Day Plan - 3 days of weight training, 2 days of interval running. 1 minute rest between reps.
5 sets per exercise for the 4 main body parts (chest, back, quads, hamstrings). The first 4 sets go down in reps and up in weights. The last set is 12 reps at the original weight. Follow that exercise up IMMEDIATELY with 1 set of another exercise for the same body part (example: bench press followed immediately by 1 set of cable flys). If you're not DEAD by the end of the 4 different exercises, do 5 sets for triceps and 5 sets for biceps. Only then though, don't overdo it!
For M, W, and F, do different exercises each day for the same body part (monday: benchpress, wednesday : incline bench press, friday: dumbell flys)
Wait 1 minute between reps. For each exercise, increase the weight with each set (set of 12, add weight. set of 10, add weight, etc.) On the last rep, return to original weight and do another set of 12, followed IMMEDIATELY by another exercise using the same muscle group for 12 reps.
If you do this exact routine on Monday, pick different exercises for each muscle group for Wednesday and Friday. Keep the muscles guessing!

Pick up a dumbbell in each hand and place them on your thighs. Then, one at a time, raise them up to your shoulder level while you press your back and shoulders firmly against the bench. Press the weights back up to a point over your upper chest, with your palms facing forward. Lower the weights slowly. Inhale as you lower the weights and exhale as you lift.

Then lie back, keeping the dumbbells close to your chest. Lift the dumbbells over your chest by extending your arms. Maintain a slight bend in your elbows. Keep your hips and shoulders flat on the bench and your feet on the floor. Lower the dumbbells to the sides of your body in an arc-like motion. At the lowest point, your bent elbows should be on a horizontal plane even with the bench. Slowly bring the weights back up over your chest in an arc. The bend in your elbows should stay the same throughout the exercise. Exercise description by Bodybuilding.com (less)
Pullups 5 sets: 12 reps, 10 reps, 8 reps, 6 reps, 12 reps Reach up and grab the bar with a firm overhand grip. Your hands should be roughly twice your shoulder width apart. This helps work more of your lats, rather than your biceps. Straighten your arms and ...Reach up and grab the bar with a firm overhand grip. Your hands should be roughly twice your shoulder width apart. This helps work more of your lats, rather than your biceps. Straighten your arms and let your body hang from the bar. You can keep your legs straight or bend your knees and cross your feet. Slowly pull your body up to the bar so that the top of your chest nearly touches the bar and your chin is over the bar. Try to keep your body straight without arching or swinging. As you move upwards, focus on pulling your elbows down at an angle toward your rib cage. Once your lats have completely contracted at the top, slowly lower your body to the starting position. A spotter can lift your legs slightly if you need help on the last few reps. You can also add weight by using a special Dip Belt. Exercise description by Bodybuilding.com (less)

It is very important that once you are set up in position with your back perpendicular to the floor your back does not move. Only your arms should move. From straight out in front of you bring your elbows back and keep them tight into your body. Once they are as far back as they will go slowly let the weight go forwards. Aim for a duration of 1.5 to 2 seconds in both directions. Swinging or arching your back to aid the movement is an indication that the weight is too heavy. We do not move the back whilst doing this exercise because it can damage the small muscles in the lower back. Exercise description by Hugo Saner. (less)
Lunges - Dumbbell 5 sets: 12 reps, 10 reps, 8 reps, 6 reps, 12 reps Hold a dumbbell in each hand and pull your shoulders back. Lift your chest up and look straight ahead. Position your right leg forward in a long stride. Your foot should be far enough in front of you ...Hold a dumbbell in each hand and pull your shoulders back. Lift your chest up and look straight ahead. Position your right leg forward in a long stride. Your foot should be far enough in front of you so that when you bend your right knee, your thigh and lower leg form a right angle. Slowly bend your knees, lowering your hips so your rear knee just clears the floor. Pause briefly in this position, then slowly straighten your legs and raise your body back up to a standing position. Complete a full set, then switch legs and repeat, or alternate legs for each rep. Make sure your knee does NOT travel past your toes in the down position! Exercise description by Bodybuilding.com (less)
Hey guys, I fixed the workout, because it's kind of misleading.
You want to do one exercise for each of the 4 main body parts (chest, back, quads, and hammies). Focus on compound exercises that work multiple muscle groups (incline bench press will work your triceps and shoulders too, for example).
The next time you're in the gym, concentrate on each of the same muscle groups, but attack them from different angles with different exercises to mix it up and promote growth
