I'm excited to share "Body And Barbell," where I'll reveal the workout routine I've followed for over two years. I've been doing calisthenics for seven years, weightlifting for eight, and have been practicing martial arts for eleven years. This program primarily revolves around a blend of weightlifting and calisthenics exercises. Additionally, I've structured this routine across various days to optimize performance, enhance strength, and promote effective recovery. Each of us has our own fitness journey with unique goals. Personally, I'm working on being strong in bodybuilding, skilled in calisthenics, agile in acrobatics, and proficient in martial arts. I want to be good at all these things, so I've broken down my workouts this way to show how I'm doing it. If this aligns with your goals, it might be helpful for you too. 3 ABOUT THE ROUTINE I'd like to explain that my workout routine is structured across 8 days, which differs from the more common 7-day splits. While this approach might seem unconventional to some, it's the method that has personally worked best for me and has contributed to my progress. After completing the 8-day cycle, I simply restart the process on the following day to continue my training regimen. Before each workout session, or following my stretching routine, I hit a superset of pullups and hollow body dips. I aim for 20 repetitions of each exercise, completing a total of 4 sets. It's important to note that you should adjust the reps to your own capabilities – do more if you can, and if you find it challenging, do as many as you're comfortable with. The order of the workouts are also flexible and doesn't need to be followed strictly. This routine is designed for individuals with significant gym experience and a strong understanding of proper exercise form. It's tailored for those who have developed good body awareness and have been training for more than a year. It may not be suitable for beginners with limited experience in the gym. This workout split is designed not for you to emulate me, but for you to integrate into your routine and strive for self-improvement, ultimately helping you achieve your fitness and health goals. 4 EVERYDAY WARMUP ARM CIRCLES - 5 to 10 rotations backwards and forwards PVC PASS THROUGH - 5 to ten reps HIP ROCKERS - 10 rocks both sides WORLD'S GREATEST STRETCH - 5 reps both sides SEATED TWIST - 30 sec hold both sides STANDING TOE TOUCH - 10 sec hold for 3 sets TRICEP STRETCH - 5 second hold for 3 sets PUSHUPS - 10 to 30 reps Here are a couple of warm-up exercises I incorporate into my daily workout routine. Occasionally, if I don't feel sufficiently warmed up, I'll include a few minutes of cardio to ensure I'm properly prepared, typically lasting between 5 to 10 minutes. 5 DAY 1 CHEST/TRICEPS EXERCISE SETS REPS RPE REST BARBELL BENCH PRESS 5 10-12 9 2-3 MIN INCLINE DUMBELL PRESS 4 15 9 2-3 MIN DUMBBELL FLYES 4 10 8 2-3 MIN HEX PRESS 4 12 8.5 2-3 MIN EZ BAR SKULLCRUSHER 4 15 7.5 1-2 MIN TRICEP PUSHDOWN V-SHAPED BAR 4 8 10 1 MIN ROPE TRICEP EXTENSION 4 8 10 1 MIN CARDIO SESSION(30 MINS TO 1 HOUR) Aim for a moderate intensity, around 50% of your maximum effort, and maintain a steady pace for 30 minutes to an hour.

The choice is entirely up to your personal preference. 6 DAY 2 BACK/BICEPS EXERCISE SETS REPS RPE REST LAT PULLDOWN WIDE GRIP 5 12 9.5 2-3 MIN SEATED CABLE ROW 4 12 9.5 2-3 MIN SEATED ROW MACHINE 4 10 8 2 MIN MACHINE HIGH ROW 4 10 8 2 MIN STRAIGHT ARM PULL DOWN 4 15 9 1 MIN 21'S BICEP CURL EZ BAR 4 21 10 2-3 MIN DUMBBELL HAMMER CURL 4 8 10 2 MIN BACK HYPEREXTENSION 3 8 7.5 2 MIN CARDIO SESSION (30 MINS TO 1 HOUR) Aim for a moderate intensity, around 50% of your maximum effort, and maintain a steady pace for 30 minutes to an hour.

On my active rest days, I often take relaxing walks or work on calisthenics techniques, paying attention to skill and precision rather than just strength. You can also consider other activities like jump roping, using an elliptical machine, doing jumping jacks, and more to keep your rest days enjoyable and active. It's all about finding what you like and what helps you recover. STRETCHING After the light cardio workout, dedicate time to a thorough full-body stretching routine. Pay close attention to each body part, being careful not to overstretch. The order does not matter; Focus on ensuring a great stretch for the entire body. This dedicated stretching session should last for at least 10 minutes. 8 DAY 5 - FULL BODY CALISTHENICS EXERCISE SETS REPS RPE REST MUSCLE UP 3 8-10 9 2-3 MIN PULL UP 4 20 10 2 MIN CHIN UP 3 8 9 2 MIN AUSTRALIAN PULL UP 4 10 7.5 2 MIN HANDSTAND PUSH UP 4 8-10 9 3 MIN HOLLOWBODY DIP 4 20 10 2-3 MIN FIXED BAR TRICEP EXTENSION 4 10 7.5 1 MIN PISTOL SQUAT 3 12 8 2-3 MIN SKATER SQUAT 3 15 8 2 MIN HANGING LEG RAISE 4 10 8.5 2 MIN HANGING OBLIQUE KNEE RAISE 4 5 7.5 2 MIN CARDIO SESSION (30 MINS TO 1 HOUR) Aim for a moderate intensity, around 50% of your maximum effort, and maintain a steady pace for 30 minutes to an hour.

While I enjoy the relaxation of ice baths and saunas, I'm flexible with my approach. I incorporate gentle stretches, use a foam roller for my back, occasionally treat myself to massages, prioritize getting ample rest, and engage in non-physical activities to calm both my body and mind. The choice of recovery method is entirely up to you, but it's essential to remember that these recovery days are crucial for the well-being of both your body and mind.

I usually go for lean meats like chicken breast, tuna, steak, and ground beef, and I make sure to keep my portions in check by having them with rice or bread. I'm not a fan of regular soda; I might have a diet soda every now and then, and I don't snack on candies or chips. Since I naturally weigh around 145 lbs, I try to hit a daily protein target of 100 to 145 grams. I'm not super strict with my diet anymore; sometimes, when I get a craving, I'll treat myself to some fast food from my favorite places. Should I stretch everyday? Yes. Consistent daily stretching is highly recommended. Over time, your joints may lose flexibility, potentially leading to discomfort in everyday activities. Regular stretching can provide enduring benefits, ensuring your mobility and comfort. Weightlifting or Calisthenics? Both weightlifting and calisthenics promote strength development. Both forms of exercise enhance functional fitness by improving your ability to perform daily tasks with ease. If I had to make a choice, I'd lean towards calisthenics, primarily because it offers a broader range of exciting and dynamic movements. 12 A NOTE FROM RAPHAEL I appreciate each and every one of you for giving my workout split a shot. I want to emphasize that this isn't about emulating me; it's about helping you achieve your personal fitness goals. I admit that I'm not perfect when it comes to sticking to my own routine; I make sure to listen to my body and rest when needed. If this routine starts feeling too easy as time goes on, consider raising the reps, sets, or adjusting the RPE based on your specific fitness goals. Don't hesitate to reach out to me on my social media platforms—I'll do my utmost to respond to all of your messages. I genuinely hope you found value in this workout routine and enjoyed the experience. Thank you!
