Week #1 Lift

Here is my workout chart for week 1. I'll only lift 4 days in a week and the three days I take off are random. I think its important that your body doesn't acclimate to any routine. Its good to keep your body in shock. With that in mind I'll explain the chart.

There are 4 rows x 5 columns. The rows for the number of days, columns for number of exercises to focus on during each day. Everyone has their own take on program specifics, but I've come to the conclusion that going in and lifting hard is 90% of the battle so all the arguing is wasted breath. Day 1 is row 1. Day 2 is row 2... The exercises are all different to keep it fresh which is really important to me. Lift as much weight as you think is possible for the number of reps. For example '4x10' stands for 4 sets of 10 reps. If I can curl 45 lbs 10 times then, after warming up, I will do 4 sets at 45 lbs.





This workout should be universally good for anyone who wants to shape up, but it definitely leans a little more towards traditional male goals. So girls, if you are interested I'll post something that I would have my girlfriend do.
