Plan Details
The GLB #10 - Modified JEFIT 5 day Bulking Split routine by GLB3 is a 13 day workout plan. It is an advanced level plan to achieve bulking fitness goals.
Week #1 - * Mon: Chest * Tues: Cardio; Abs; Shoulders & Arms * Wed: Back * Thurs: Cardio; Abs; Shoulders * Fri: Legs Week #2 - * Mon: Chest * Tues: Cardio; Abs; Forearms * Wed: Shoulders & Arms * Thur: Cardio; Abs; Forearms * Fri: Legs This workout plan is the second modified version of the JEFIT 3-Day Bulking Split routine. Major changes in this version include - * Focusing on continuing to grow three major muscle groups; and reducing arm and shoulder work somewhat * Split the workout into a 2 week sequence. Mon & Fri are still Chest & Leg days respectively. Wed alternates between Back and Shoulders & Arms. Tues & Thurs are lightweight cardio & abs days with additional arm and shoulder work sprinkled throughout. * Only two superset sets are to be completed on each of the cardio days, although six sets are listed. These are to be rotated each week to add some variations to the arm & shoulder workout. I like this routine because it still focuses on compound lifts while emphasizing three major muscle groups for continued bulking, while still hitting the minor muscle groups (arms & shoulders) on cardio and abs day. It also includes some level of variation in the week1 and week2 workout plans. To ensure total workout, this workout still prescribes 4 sets with decreasing reps per set. The goal is to continually increase volume, and to set the weight to enable ~15 reps for the first set - decreasing to 8 reps (and increasing weight) on final set. Allow only 30s between sets helps to ensure full muscle exertion. Adjust weight & reps to maximize total weight lifted with each session.
