Day 1: Chest, triceps
Incline Bench Press
Start: Grasp the bar with an overhand grip outside shoulder width. Unrack it and hold it directly above your
face. Keep your upper back and glutes pressed against the bench, feet flat and spread on the floor or
platform for balance.

off your chest. Quickly reverse direction and explode the weight back up to full extension without locking
out.
Bench Press
Start: Lie faceup on a flat bench, grasping the bar outside shoulder width at arms' length above you. For
balance and power, keep your head, shoulders and glutes in contact with the bench at all times, and your
feet spread out flat on the floor.
Execution: Lower the bar to your lower chest; your elbows should point out to your sides at the bottom of
the move. Without bouncing, smoothly reverse direction and forcefully press to full arm extension directlyabove your chest.

Decline Flye
Start: Adjust a bench to a 30-45-degree decline. Hold a pair of dumbbells and carefully position yourself
on the bench, securing your feet under the pads. Starting with the weights on your thighs, lie back slowly
while moving the dumbbells into position at full extension above your chest, palms facing each other.
Execution: Keeping a slight bend in your elbows, take a deep breath and lower the weights out to your
sides in a wide, deliberate arc until your upper arms are roughly parallel to the floor or you feel a strong
stretch in your pecs. Pause briefly and reverse the motion.
Bench Dip
Start: Place two benches parallel to each other about 3 to 4 feet apart. Sit in the middle of one bench and
face the other bench. Place your hands on the bench by your hips, fingers cupping the edge of the bench
and your elbows pointing rearward. Support your body with your arms and carefully place both heels on
the bench in front of you.
Execution: Squeeze your triceps and slowly lower your glutes and upper body toward the floor until your
upper arms are roughly parallel to it. Pause momentarily, then press yourself upward until you come to the
starting position with your arms extended.
Close-Grip Bench Press
Start: Lie back on a flat bench with your feet flat on the floor. Grasp the barbell with a narrow (inside
shoulder-width), overhand grip. Press the bar up slightly to un-rack it, then steady the bar above your
chest with your arms extended.
Execution: Lower the bar to your lower chest, keeping your elbows close to your body. Do not bounce thebar off your chest, but rather when the bar approaches an inch or so away from your chest, pause and
press the bar back up to the starting position. Squeeze your triceps and chest at the top.
Lying Triceps Extension
Start: Lie faceup on a bench with your feet flat on the floor. Grasp an EZ-bar (or straight bar) and grasp it
with an overhand grip. With arms extended, hold the bar above your face and slightly back toward yourspotter.

3/30
Execution: Squeeze your triceps as you slowly lower the bar toward the top of your head. When your
elbows reach 90-degree angles, pause for a moment, then forcefully extend your arms to press the bar
back to the start position.
Day 2: Legs, calves, abs
Squat
Start:Stand erect, holding a bar across your upper back with your feet about shoulder-width apart, knees
slightly bent and your toes turned out slightly.
Execution: Keeping your head neutral, abs tight and torso erect, bend at the knees and hips to slowly
lower your body, as if you were going to sit down in a chair. Pause when your legs reach a 90-degree
angle, then forcefully drive through your heels, extending at your hips and knees until you arrive at the
standing position.
Leg Press
Start: Sit in a leg press machine with your back and hips against the pads, and place your feet shoulder-
width apart on the platform. Grasp the handles and press through your heels to release the safeties. Your
knees should be slightly bent at the start of the movement.
Execution: Inhale and slowly lower the weight until your knees form 90-degree angles. Pause briefly
before forcefully pressing the weight back up through your heels, exhaling as you pass the midpoint of the
lift.
Lunge
Start: Grasp a pair of dumbbells and stand upright with your eyes focused forward, feet hip-width apartand arms hanging straight down at your sides (or similarly, with a barbell across your upper back).
Execution: Step forward about 2-4 feet with one leg and bend your knee to lower your hips until your front
quad is parallel to the floor and your back knee is a few inches off the floor. Pause briefly in the bottom
position, then press through the heel of your front foot to extend your hip and knee and return to the start
position. Complete all reps for one side or alternate sides for reps.

4/30
Start: Sit in a leg extension machine so the backs of your thighs are in full contact with the seat and your
back is fully supported. Place your shins behind the resistance pad. Your knees should hang just off the
end of the seat, forming a 90-degree angle.
Execution: Grasp the handles, inhale deeply and contract your quads against the resistance until your
knees are fully extended. Exhale as you pass the midpoint, hold the peak contraction and slowly lowerback to the start.
Leg curl
Start: Lie facedown on a leg curl machine with your knees just past the end of the bench. The resistance
rollers should be adjusted so they rest against the backs of your ankles. Grasp the handles and inhale
deeply.
Execution: Keeping your torso still, contract your hamstrings to bring the rollers toward your glutes,
exhaling as you pass the midpoint of the move. Squeeze your hams hard at the top of the movement and
slowly reverse direction back to the starting position.
Crunch
Start: Lie faceup on the floor with your legs bent and your feet flat on the floor. Place your hands behind
your head with your fingertips touching, and your elbows out to your sides.
Execution: Slowly curl your upper body and shoulder blades off the floor as you raise your chest and
shoulders toward the ceiling. Hold the peak-contracted position momentarily while squeezing your abs.
Slowly return to the start position, stopping just short of your elbows touching the floor.
Reverse Crunch
Start: Lie flat on your back with your hips and knees bent 90 degrees, arms down at your sides.
Execution: Contract your abdominal muscles to pull your pelvis upward and your knees toward your
chest. Pause, return to the start and repeat.
Leg-Press Calf Raise
Start: Sit in a leg press machine with the safety stops locked in a position that allows you to bend your
knees slightly when the platform is at rest. Space your feet about hip-width apart on the platform, your toes
pointing upward. The balls of your feet should be on the platform, your heels slightly below. Grasp the
safety-lock grips for stability.
Execution: Press your legs to near full extension, putting a stretch on your calves. Contract your calves
forcefully, driving the platform away from you. Hold for 1-2 seconds in the top position before returning to
the start and repeating for reps.
Seated Dumbbell Calf Raise
Start: Sit on a flat bench holding a pair of heavy dumbbells on the tops of your knees.
Execution: Press your toes into forcefully into the f loor until you are fully flexed at the calf. Hold the top

Day 3: Shoulders, calves, abs
Overhead dumbbell press
Start: Sit erect against a low-back bench, feet spread wide for balance with your chest out and back
slightly arched. Position the weights next to your ears with a palms-forward grip, elbows pointing down andout to your sides.
Execution: Press the dumbbells directly up and together to full arm extension in a strong but controlled
motion, just short of locking out your elbows. Control the downward motion and pause momentarily at the
bottom so you don't bounce as you reverse direction.
Upright row
Start: Stand erect with your chest out, shoulders back and midsection tight, lower back slightly arched and
knees unlocked. Grasp a bar with an overhand grip, hands 8-10 inches apart, holding the bar close to your
body with your arms extended down in front.
Execution: Keeping the bar just a few inches from your body, lift it up to your chin by raising your elbows
so they point out to your sides. Keep your elbows up and above the level of your hands during the move
and lower under control.
Bent-over lateral raise
Start: Grasp a pair of dumbbells with a neutral grip and bend at the waist, with your feet about shoulder-
width apart, knees slightly bent, upper torso parallel to the floor. Hold the weights directly below you with
your elbows slightly bent, keeping your head aligned by looking forward to reduce tension in your neck and
trap muscles.
Execution: Raise your arms out to your sides in an arc; visualize pinching your shoulders together so that
they almost touch. Raise the weights as high as you can without flexing or extending at the elbows.
Crunch
Start: Lie faceup on the floor with your legs bent and your feet flat on the floor. Place your hands behind
your head with your fingertips touching, and your elbows out to your sides.

Execution: Slowly curl your upper body and shoulder blades off the floor as you raise your chest and
shoulders toward the ceiling. Hold the peak-contracted position momentarily while squeezing your abs.
Slowly return to the start position, stopping just short of your elbows touching the floor.
Reverse crunch
Start: Lie flat on your back with your hips and knees bent 90 degrees, arms down at your sides.
Execution: Contract your abdominal muscles to pull your pelvis upward and your knees toward your
chest. Pause, return to the start and repeat.
Leg-press calf raise
Start: Sit in a leg press machine with the safety stops locked in a position that allows you to bend your
knees slightly when the platform is at rest. Space your feet about hip-width apart on the platform, your toes
pointing upward. The balls of your feet should be on the platform, your heels slightly below. Grasp the
safety-lock grips for stability.
Execution: Press your legs to near full extension, putting a stretch on your calves. Contract your calves
forcefully, driving the platform away from you. Hold for 1-2 seconds in the top position before returning to
the start and repeating for reps.
Seated dumbbell calf raise
Start: Sit on a flat bench holding a pair of heavy dumbbells on the tops of your knees.
Execution: Press your toes into forcefully into the f loor until you are fully flexed at the calf. Hold the top
position for a count and return to the start.
Day 4: Back, biceps
Bent-over row
Start: Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart and grasp a barbell with a wide, overhand grip. With your
chest up, back flat and knees bent slightly, bend forward at your waist until your torso is roughly parallel to
the floor and the bar hangs straight down in front of your shins. Keep your head in a neutral position and
your eyes fixed on the floor in front of you.
Execution: Remain in the bent-over position and bring the bar to your upper abdomen by pulling with your
back muscles. Squeeze and hold for 1-2 seconds before slowly lowering the bar along the same path.

Seated row
Start: Attach a close-grip handle to the seated row cable machine and sit upright on the bench facing the
weight stack. Place your feet against the platform with your legs slightly bent. Reach forward to grasp the
handle while keeping your back flat, and chest up. Pull back until your torso is erect and your arms are
fully extended.
Execution: Pull the handle toward your midsection. Keep your elbows close to the sides of your body.
Keep your torso erect and your head in a neutral position as you squeeze your back muscles. Hold for 1-2
seconds before slowly returning to the start position.
Lat pulldown
Start: Grasp the pulldown bar with a wide, overhand grip, thumbs wrapped around the bar for safety, then
sit erect with a slight arch in your low back. Fit your thighs securely under the pads with your feet flat on
the floor. Fully extend your arms, keep your head straight and focus your eyes forward.
Execution: Squeeze your shoulder blades together and pull the bar down to the top of your chest in a
smooth motion, keeping your elbows pointed out and down to your sides. Hold this position momentarily
before slowly returning the bar to the start. Concentrate on using your back muscles to pull the weight
down and avoid unnecessary swaying back and forth.
Barbell curl
Start: Grasp a barbell with an underhand grip, your hands spaced about shoulder-width apart. Stand erectwith your chest out, shoulders back and spine in alignment, keeping a slight bend in your knees. The bar
should rest across the tops of your thighs, arms extended.
Execution: With your elbows tight to your sides, squeeze your biceps to raise the bar in an arc toward
your shoulders. Squeeze for a peak contraction before slowly lowering the bar back down. Stop the bar
just short of your thighs to keep tension on the biceps.
Incline dumbbell curl
Start: Set an adjustable bench to an incline (roughly 45 degrees) and sit with your back flush against the
pad, dumbbells low at your sides, palms facing up, thumbs around the handles, feet flat on the floor.
Execution: Without swinging the weight, curl one dumbbell up as high as possible while keeping your
upper arm perpendicular to the floor. Pause at the top for a second before returning the weight to the
starting position. Complete all reps for one arm before switching.
Dumbbell preacher curl
Start: Lean against a preacher bench with your armpits snugly resting on top of the pads and your upper
arms firmly on the bench. Hold a pair of dumbbells with a supinated (underhand) grip just short of full-arm
extension.
Execution: Flex your arms to bring the weight up, but not so high that the top becomes a resting point.

smooth motion, keeping your elbows pointed out and down to your sides. Hold this position momentarily
before slowly returning the bar to the start. Concentrate on using your back muscles to pull the weight
down and avoid unnecessary swaying back and forth.

weight stack. Place your feet against the platform with your legs slightly bent. Reach forward to grasp the
handle while keeping your back flat, and chest up. Pull back until your torso is erect and your arms are
fully extended.

toward your ears, being careful not to round your upper back or flex your neck. Hold the top position for a
count and return to the start.
Standing Dumbbell Curl
Start: Grasp a barbell with an underhand, shoulder-width grip and stand erect with your feet hip-widthapart and knees unlocked. The barbell should be just above your thighs with your arms fully extended and
a slight bend in your elbows. Lock your upper arms by your sides.
Execution: Curl the bar by contracting your biceps, bringing it to about a shoulder-level position. Don't try
to bring it all the way to your chin, which would require your upper arms to come forward from your sides
and reduce overall muscle stimulation. Squeeze your biceps hard at the top, and slowly reverse direction.
Hammer Curl
Start: Stand erect with your chest out and shoulders back, holding a pair of dumbbells with a neutral grip
at your sides, arms fully extended.
Execution: Bring your weight across your body toward the opposite shoulder. Lift the weight aiming to go
past 90-degree elbow flexion in a strong motion. Hold the peak contraction for a split second and slowly
lower the weight, focusing on the negative. Alternate sides.
Dumbbell Preacher Curl
Start: Lean against a preacher bench with your armpits snugly resting on top of the pads and your upper
arms firmly on the bench. Hold a pair of dumbbells with a supinated (underhand) grip just short of full -arm
extension.
Execution: Flex your arms to bring the weight up, but not so high that the top becomes a resting point.
Use a more explosive motion on the positive portion of the rep, controlling the decent back to the starting
position and keeping a slight bend in your elbow to maintain constant tension.
Wrist CurlStart: Pick up a barbell with an underhand, narrow grip and sit on a flat bench. Hang the barbell just off of
the edge of the bench, your forearms in tight and flush with the pad, elbows bent roughly 90 degrees.
Execution: Keeping your thumb under the bar and moving only at your wrists, slowly roll the weight into
your fingertips as far as your strength and f lexibility will allow. After reaching a full stretch, forcefully
contract your fingers and wrists to roll the bar back up to full flexion. Make sure to keep your thumb under
the bar for the best range of motion.
