It had me training each muscle group no more than once a week and it would cycle the workouts to prevent plateus. I also had to leave the gym immediately to eat if my workout went over 70 minutes.
Monday- Chest/Shoulders/Triceps
Variation of bench press
Variation of overhead shoulder press
Bar dips
Wednesday- Legs
Squats
Variation of deadlifts
Friday- Back/Biceps/Lats
Pull ups (grip would vary)
Variation of curls
Bent over rows(bar or dumbbells, depending on which week of the program im at)
Week 7 and 8 of the program, I would do 10x10 with a light weight (to avoid hitting a plateu)
Thats about it. Diet would be split 40%_carbs/30%_protein/30%_unsaturated fats. My caloric intake would be 20x my bodyweight. Absolutely no more than 3 hours in between meals and a post workout shake of 100g of Dextrose/Maltodextrin. Protein with every meal as well.
It took me 2 months to mentally prepare for what I was about to undertake, and I feel that if I didnt take the time to prepare for this, I would have never gone through with it 100%
