Why This Routine Works This routine has been designed to help you build the most lean muscle possible and maximize your gains. You will be training with a mix of high volume, heavy weight, short rest periods and a lengthy program to help you spark muscle growth. With heavy weight and high volume training, you will be ripping the muscle fibers, forcing them to grow and increase your strength. During each month you will train your muscles with various techniques to allow for the most gains possible. For the first month you will train with moderate to heavy weight, forcing your muscles to work and get used to the training the you will be continuing with the months ahead. If you cannot perform up to 10 reps per exercise you are either using too much or little weight. On the second month you will want to increase the weight while decreasing the reps, thus this will force your muscles to grow. The 3rd month will target your muscles by increasing their strength to high volume and multiple reps. By increasing the amount of reps you are performing, you are making your muscles work thus increasing your strength and density of the muscles. During the 4th month, you will be recovering from the amount of work put in the 3 past months, using moderate weight to continue helping you make the most gains possible. As stated in the title, you will want to follow this routine for up to 4 months, allowing you to see optimal results from your effort.
