Advanced bodybuilder workout suited to advanced lifters with at least 1 years lifting experience. Are you looking to step your training up a notch and pack on some serious muscle? Then this workout is for you.
This advanced bodybuilder workout is designed to destroy each muscle group once a week over 5 days! Monday you will hit shoulders, Tuesday for arms, Wednesday for legs, Thursday for back and Friday for Chest. To look after the mid-section you will be doing 1 abdominal exercise at the end of each daily workout.
To get the maximum results from this workout you will need to vary it up a bit. The best way to do this is by supersetting the exercises. You should superset a compound and isolation exercise each day, every 3rd week. That should keep your muscles guessing. Use this advanced bodybuilder workout for 8-12 weeks then change it up.
