Muscle
cells, as many studies have shown, grow
through the rest phase after a workout - not
during the workout itself. Working out helps
to stimulate your body, but rest in between is
just as important for muscle development.
Therefore,
to gain muscle, this routine suggests you
workout four days a week - leaving a gap in
between 2 of the days. An example would be
working out on Monday and Tuesday, then
resting before completing the routine.
Perform
a warmup set of each exercise everyday first
by using 2/3 of the normal amount of
weights. Additionally, do two exercises
back-to-back, then rest for 2 minutes, and
continue onto the next two exercises that
you'll perform back-to-back with no rest (this
is called 'supersetting'). Finally, complete
each routine three times each day, adding 2
repititions everytime you go through the list
(ie, do 6, then 8 and finally 10 repititions
of the bench press).
