Description

Not everyone can nor wants to spend more than an hour at the Gym. Sound like you? Use this compound-movement workout 3 times a week to burn fat and get cut. This workout is intended for those with intermediate exercise experience who simply want to "get back in shape" or just "stay in shape". Workouts are based on roughly 2 muscle groups per workout known as "opposites". You should "max out" at the reps indicated. Workouts should be performed 3 times a week and last roughly an hour. Day 1: Chest & Back. Day 2: Biceps & Triceps. Day 3: Legs, Traps, Shoulders. Abs, and cardio are included in each workout. Have a weak or lacking body part (like forearms or calves)? Add it to each workout to make progress fast! Mix the order of the exercises every week to make even more progress!
