Training

Typical Week by Week Split:

Sunday – Chest

Monday – Legs

Tuesday – Triceps

Wednesday – Back

Thursday – Shoulders

Friday – Biceps

*Reps and Sets frequently vary but I generally do sets of 3-4 with reps between 6-12

Something New – My training partner Kevin Schosek resently showed me something that he has incorporated in his training routine that I have adopted as well.  The first 3-4 sets of an exercise are done normal with our typical rep ranges.  However, the last set of a particular exercise, a drop set is done.  I did this for a week with him and I absoultely loved it.   The “pump” I get is unbelievable.

Good Ole’ Cardio – The title of this is obviously sarcasm as I despise cardio training.  Unfortunatly I have to make the proper adjustments to bring my condition to a new level and adding more cardio is necessary for a body-type like mine to be as “shredded” as possible.  6 weeks out from the Can/Am as of yesterday (Feb 27th) and I have decided to add more cardio to my training.  Starting tomorrow I will be doing 30 min in the morning as I have been.  However, I will also start to add low intensity cardio post workout as well (perhaps 15-20).  At 6 weeks out I feel that I am where I should be.  Cutting my carbs lower week by week and slowly adding cardio training is giving me a harder, more conditioned look for my upcoming spring competitions.
