Part 2 of My 3 Month Workout


Part 2:
Muscle Defining

Now if you did my first month to the key and was able to lift all 4 days each week you should be pretty obsessed with the gym by now.  So adding one extra day of lifting should be something you want to do and won’t feel like a chore.  This next month is all about taking that muscle we have built and taking it to the next level of burning the fat that is covering it up and letting it become more defined.  Now I didn’t mention this so much in part 1 but it is important to make cardio a big part of your work out routine as well.  I myself will play 2-3 hours of basketball, or I may run on the treadmill for 20 minutes at the end of my work out or if it’s a nice day I will take my shirt off and run outside to get a good tan.  Biking and swimming are two great cardio work outs as well if you have the resources.

For part 2 I like to do abs every day, just switching up what ab work outs I do every other day.
On one day I will do knee raises and hip thrust and decline crunches
On the other day I will do oblique’s and rope crunches

Don’t focus so much on keeping your carbs low this month but work on making sure not to eat any carbs AFTER LUNCH so after about 1 o’clock no more carbs.

Part 1 of My 3 Month Workout

Part 1:
Muscle Building

This first month of lifting should be all about gaining or re-gaining the muscle mass and stanima needed to work your body out at its full potential.  This month you should be worrying more about keeping those carbs low and those proteins high so we build as much muscle up as we can.  Also we want to make sure we stay in that claoric deficit range as well.  Before each of my work outs i take a preworkout supplement for energy and a little creatine plus i take a protein shake with 2 scoops.  I will go more into depth on supplements later but there are a lot of different combinations you could be using, this one is just the simplest.

Each of these workouts should have you needing help on your 2nd and 3rd sets to get to the 10th rep
if you are doing all 3 sets with no help you are not doing enough weight

Day 1
Chest/Triceps
            1. Bench Press               3-4 sets of Heavy weight, starting with 10 reps and going down to 5 reps
            2. Scull Crushers            3 sets of 10.  Last set you should need help after 8
            3. Incline Bench             3 sets of 10 moving the weight up each set accordingly.
            4. Tricep Kick Backs    3 sets of 10
            5. Decline Flys              3 sets of 10
            6. Rope Pulldowns        Start at the heaveiest weight you can do then begin with 5 reps, immediately after lower the weight to the next stack and do 5 more, repeat until you are down to only 20 pounds and rep out
           7. Lower Chest machine, either smith machine or decline bench 3 sets of 10 with your last set needing help after 8
           8. Dips or Dipmachine.  3 sets of 10 with heavy weight
           9. Incline flys with heavy weight 3 sets of 10


Day 2
Back/Biceps
         1. Start with widegrip Pull ups 3 sets of 10 using a chair to reach your goal
         2. Dumbell curl 3 sets of 10.  Can also do alternating dumbell curls and hold the opposite dumbell in the upright position
         3. Seated Rows. supersetted with wide grip pull downs 3 of 10
         4. either crazy 8's or 21's.  Leave comment if you would like to know that work out but doing 2-3 sets using either monkey bar or straight bar.  Switch it up each week
         5. Close grip pull ups with hands in the bicep postion 3 sets of 10
         6. Hyperextensions usually 3-4 sets with no weight of 10
         7. Seated hammer curls with a incline curl supersetted into it
