You can do either…I prefer rest days in between to allow your muscles some more recovery time.

You can definitely go up in weight with each set.

hey on day 3,, do you actually get to100 push-ups

By: Sam

Sam — Thu, 16 Dec 2010 23:07:00 +0000

Not if you keep the weights down or if you’re already pretty tall and not worried about height growth.

Not a bad idea at all, will do!

That is definitely one strategy, to go heavier which is great for muscle building.

Thank you! I do have another question. For phase 2, are we still doing the same exercises and supersets with heavier weights? Or do we just want to hit the same muscle groups as phase 1?

By: Sam

Sam — Wed, 29 Sep 2010 22:47:00 +0000

Great question, it actually means take 3-5 seconds when lowering and 3-5 seconds when raising.

Hi Lee, you need to start out with a workout routine that is a little less intense and build to this one. This article has some great workouts you can do for 6 weeks each until you advance and get stronger - http://weightlossandtraining.com/freeworkoutrou...

Hi Brian, go for 6 reps and 2-3 sets. That will pack on most muscle and strength but it will also be quite intense!

hey sam,just wondering about the 2nd phase of the program,the heavy phase, is there a certain amount of sets n reps you do??

By: Sam

Sam — Fri, 18 Jun 2010 10:35:15 +0000

Shouldn't make too much difference with your palm facing up or left/right. Just make sure you keep your elbows in tight near your body.

what are external shoulder rotations with the palms facing up. I have googled it, but all the videos show people with their palms facing either left or right not up or down.

Hey rudeboy68, this workout is intended to be done as a split routine, however you can do the exercises in a circuit with little rest between exercises but a long rest period after the first cycle. Do 3 complete cycles.

Hey i just got a question on how i can do this work out
as functional training rather than isolation ?

By: Sam

Hi Eddie, sounds like diet may be another part of what’s keeping you back. Are you supplementing with whey protein? This workout is pretty intense and I’d be surprised if you don’t get some good results from it.

Hi Sam,

Great article.

I’ve been lifting off and on for years, constantly for 6 months now, gained 40lbs I am at 175 5’9”. I still feel like I can bulk up a little more, but it seems as if I have hit a wall. I’ve changed up routines, took a week off, even changed gym’s but nothing doing. My other choice is roids but I really would rather stay natural.

My question is, is this work out good for my situation?? Or do I need to tweak it a little.

Thanks in advance..

Hi Andrew, 1-2 days of rest between workout is adequate.

Hey, at the top it says he did 2 phases, bulking and strength training. But the thing is, this workout here that you listed, all consist of tons of reps, cardio and endurance training. Correct me if I’m wrong, but this workout seems more like a fat burning/toning routine. Isn’t bulking/strength training supposed to be roughly 6 reps, and like 2minute rest in between each set? Also for the 3rd workout day, you say no rest in between each set, but there has to be a rest, so do you mean like 15 seconds? And since its a 5day plan and you said hugh jackman cycles trough day 1, 2 and 3, do you mean for example:
Monday – Day 1 workout
Tuesday – Day 2 workout
Wednesday – Day 3 workout
Thursday – Day 1 workout
Friday – Day 2 workout

Is it 5 days straight in a row, or what days do you have breaks?
Sorry for asking so much, thanks!

Good luck Hemant! For bulk also try the Jake Gyllenhaal Prince of Persia Workout, quite a unique twist with use of cables!

Thanks again! I will try this for the next 2 months or so and see how it goes. What other workout would you recommend for building bulk?

push-ups, stairs, sprint are great for increasing your cardiovascular health and help you with your weightlifting…as long as you keep them short duration and very intense they can help you build bulk too.

Great, will make sure to do that thanks! But as far as the exercises (push-ups, stairs, sprint, etc), is this a good work out in general for building bulk?

Hi Hemant, this workout is intended for toning up so you’re right on the mark…decrease reps and increase weight for building bulk, winter is a great time to do this!

Hi Sam,

My friend and I just started this worked out 1 week ago and it is a great work out (especially day 5). But it is a lot of reps with less weight, so is this workout good for building bulk and not just toning? Or would you recommend that I change it up a little bit and do less rep more weight if i want to get bigger?

Thanks!

HI Mike, the other 2 phases were not discussed by his trainer but most likely included bulking up and cardio training so he could get to this level.
