Workout Notes:
Perform 2 warm-up sets for the first exercise of each workout. The first warm up set should
be for 8 reps with 50% of the weight you want to use for your working sets. The second
warm up set should be for 5 reps with 70-80% of the weight you want to use for your
working sets.
Every week you want to strive to progress on the workouts. This means adding 1 rep to
each of your sets, or at-least one of your sets.
When you can perform all 3 sets for the top number of reps, the following workout,
increase the weight.

For exercises prescribed for 12, 10, 8, 6 reps… You are to use the same weight for all sets
and rest only 30-60 seconds between sets. The first set you should use a weight you can do
for 12 reps. Rest 30-60 seconds, then perform 10, rest then 8, rest then 6, done.
Each workout aim to shorten the rest times. When you get down to 30 seconds rest
between sets, increase the weight and start back up with 40-60 seconds of rest.

How do I do step ups?
Start with your weaker leg. Perform all the reps on your weak side before moving to your

minimize any rest. Use a bench that is about knee high
