My Training Routine: September 21
* Tips from my training
* Changing my plan
True to form, I'm trying to change my training plan every eight weeks although this version has been belated.
Around this time of year I progress towards lactic acid training. This entails higher repetitions concluding sets which start with lower reps.
I have returned to a previous gym-based routine, albeit with substituting exercises for ones that I can do at home. Training at home means I have supersetted two rounds (back to back) to ensure muscle overload.
The origins of this training plan or based around the following exercises. The abbreviations are as follows:
BB barbell
DB dumbbell
I have substituted the barbell exercises for dumbbell exercises since I have these available at home. Other exercises I have improvised with the resistance bands and the TRX that I have at home instead of the cable pulley machine.
The first exercise is for 12 repetitions and the second exercise is 15 repetitions and the third one is 20. I will complete these then return to the start (like a circuit).
This double set, or four times though is repeated three times.
Performing two exercises back-to-back is not only time efficient but it ensures that you get a fantastic workout through muscle overload.
It is simple and very effective. I would not advise this routine for a raw beginner but for and intermediate level individual, it is sufficient.

DB chest press
DB chest Flyes
BB decline bench
