Workout Description​

It's called the "LoHiLo Routine" because you will be alternating between low rep, high weight days and high rep, low weight days.
I've been running this program myself for over a year now and have experienced impressive results. I do warn you, it is a very hard routine. If you aren't willing to push yourself throughout the entire workout then it is not for you.
I have made two videos of the LoHiLo. The shorter video briefly explains the routine. The longer video goes through every single exercise of the routine for you. Please check them both out.


I wanted to share this routine with you so that you can gain size quickly. If you enjoy this routine please take a minute to subscribe to my YouTube channel. If you have ANY questions feel absolutely free to leave them in the comments section below.

Other information​

You can do this on a cut or a bulk. If you are cutting this will shred you up but you will not gain much/any mass. If you are bulking this will put mass on quickly but you must eat A LOT!
You can do abs in this workout, just do them at the end of workouts. I suggest every other day, not every day.
If you are cutting I recommend 4-6 cardio sessions a week. If you are bulking I recommend at least 2.
Drink at least a gallon of water a day.
The more you sleep the better your training will be and the better your recovery will be.
You can change any of the exercises with something that works the same muscle (e.g. reverse dumbbell flyes instead of face pulls, decline dumbbell chest press for weighted dips, etc.).
