Default 4 day workout

The 4 day workout routine is designed for intermediate to advanced bodybuilders who want to increase their size. Before running this routine a good strength base needs to be developed or you’ll end up overtrained very easy.

With the 4 day workout routine you’ll focus on working each muscle group only once a week. This will allow sufficient time for recovery and growth. Workout days will be Monday,Tuesday,Thursday and Friday and you should take the weekends off.

The repetitions will be in the 5-10 range. Keep in these rep ranges and use the heaviest weights you can control with good form and full range of motion. Also you will want to increase the weight progressively on every set.This doesn’t need to be a big increase in weight. You should work to failure**of every exercise.If you can’t increase the weight on the last set, try to squeeze another rep or two to get to failure.

Warm up good before doing the big multi joint exercises.Do 2-3 sets of light squatting before doing the work sets.Do 2-3 sets of light bench pressing before doing the work sets.The same goes for the deadlifts,shoulder presses and bench presses.

The 4 day workout split:

*Sets and Reps

Leg curl************************* 10, 8, 6, 5, 5
