Plan Details
The 5 Day Muscle Mass Split (+ 2x cardio) routine is a 7 day workout plan. It is an intermediate level plan to achieve bulking fitness goals.
The 5 Day Muscle Mass Split When performing each exercise and move up a set, you will do more weight and less repetitions to build both size and strength. Adding more weight will help build the muscles and make them fuller. Day 1 : - This day focuses on targeting the chest and back muscles through the use of push and pulling mechanics. Day 2 : - On Tuesday you will work the leg and abs through compound movements to build larger size and fuller muscles. Day 3 : - Arms days are important on building size and strength through explosive moments and heavy weight. Day 4 : - Cardio day consists of at least 3 miles of running or 7 miles of cycling/mountain biking. Day 5 : - It is important to target and focus upon the back and shoulder muscles twice a week as the back is a crucial body part to give you that fuller and bulk look. Day 6 : - Saturdays are used to re-target the chest and legs through compound movements along with adding in workouts that help boost strength, endurance and stamina. Day 7 : - This is an optional rest day. Take it if you need it. Otherwise, get up and go for a run or do some yoga! This routine is split between 5 days and performed for 5 weeks, each week testing the limits to how much you are able to push yourself to reach new 1RM's. The main focus is upon bulking and lifting heavier weight for 3 to 4 sets while performing less repetitions with each set. You can also set this routine to either a Day of the Week type of routine or Numerical Day based.
