Workout Description​

This is a very unconventional, but highly effective muscle building system for those of you who prefer to train 5 days per week with great intensity. You will find no squats, bench press or deadlifts here. This workout is pieced together to show you what can be done without the big 3 lifts, and by using supersets.

Timed Exercises​

You will begin each workout with a timed exercise. The point of a timed set is to do as many reps as possible within a 5 minute period of time. You may rest as often as you need to.
When you rest, rack or unload the weight and catch your breath. When you feel physically and mentally ready, start knocking out reps again, even if it's only a few.
Add weight to the following movements when you the goal number of reps in 5 minutes:
  • Leg Press - 100 reps in 5 minutes
  • Incline Bench Press - 50 reps in 5 minutes
  • Barbell Rows - 50 reps in 5 minutes
  • Military Press - 50 reps in 5 minutes

Superset Pairings​

For each superset pairing, rest about 2-3 minutes between sets.
