My current training split is lifting 4 days per week. resting all other days or doing light cardio (walking, burpees).Â
PHASE 1: 6 WEEKS
PHASE 2: 6 WEEKS
TOTAL: 12 WEEKS AKA (3 MONTHS)
TRAINING ROTATION:
Week one : Monday workout one
                 Tuesday workout three
                  Thursday workout two
                  Friday workout one
Â
Week two : Monday workout three
                 Tuesday workout two
                  Thursday workout one
                  Friday workout three
Week three : Monday workout two

REST PERIODS:
Â
In the first week, rest 2 minutes between sets, and then decrease that time by 10 seconds each subsequent week. (I AM NOT RESTING THIS LONG- I USUALLY JUST REST UNDER 30 SECS, DEPENDING ON HOW I RECOVER FROM THE SET- BUT I LIKE TO GO THRU TRAINING FAST).
