THE MAGNIFICENT 7 Real Exercise Training

     ... Part 2
When people see striations they immediately think steroids.  This couldn't be further from the truth - genetics, minimal fat, and well-conditioned muscle from consistent heavy loads all improves striations

1) BASIC STUFF!
Day 1 (Monday):
Chest - bench press and incline db press
Shoulders - shoulder press and lateral raises
Lats - Bent-over-row and lat pulldowns or pullups


Day 2 (Wednesday):
Biceps - barbell curl and dumbbell curls
Triceps - dips or close grip bench press and
lying triceps extensions
Abs - crunches, leg raise (20 - 25 reps per
set, no added weight)


Day Three (Friday):
Quads - squats and leg presses
Calves - standing calf raises,
seated calf raises (12-20 reps)
Lower Back/Hamstrings - bent leg deadlifts

2) HEAVY IRON-GOOD FORM and INCREASE THE LOAD!

Use the undulating principle described above,
8 reps the 1st week - 6 reps the 2nd - and
4 reps the third, then repeat.
Remember; try to add weight each cycle.

3) YOUR BOD NEEDS TIME TO RECOVER!

Do a three days per week or 2 days on, 1 day off program.

Cycle 1:
On the 2 day on and one day off, it would go like this:

Day 1: Chest, Shoulders, Lats

Day 12: Rest
Day 13: Quads, Calves, Lower Back
Day 14: Rest - End of Cycle #1, Increase poundage and
start 2nd cycle at Day 1.

4) STOP DOING SO MUCH OUTSIDE THE GYM
For maximum size and strength gains limit excess activity

5) LAY OFF THE EPHEDRINE! GET A LOT OF SLEEP & REST!
During sleep, maximum anabolism takes place for restoration and sleep is the state where your muscles grow the most. Sleep-get it!

6) MAXIMUM, NOT MINIMUM NUTRITION!
Needless to say, for maximum size and strength you must eat a lot and right. Your goal should always be solid muscular gains, not fat. Here's a maximum nutrient protocol for muscle and strength.
