Workout Overview
The following workout routine is a 4 day per week protocol. It follows a push, pull, legs split and adds in an extra day focused on building the muscles that help provide a “V”-taper illusion.It’s perfect for most intermediate lifters and can be performed for 6-8 weeks (or longer depending on your goals).
Weight
When selecting a weight, try to choose a weight that will challenge you for the prescribed rep ranges. You should finish each set feeling as though you could get just 1-2 more reps if really pushed to do so.Tempo
Rep tempo should be relatively slow on each lift. Follow a 2/0/2 tempo when performing each exercise.Rest
Rest periods will be relatively individualized. I would recommend keeping them to a minimum. Rest just long enough to recover and then jump into your next set. For most, this will be somewhere between 1-2 minutes in between sets.Day 1: Push Workout
