Plan Details
The 3 Day Lift / 2 Active Rest routine by GeorgeTryfonos is a 5 day workout plan. It is a beginner level plan to achieve general fitness goals.
A split workout is designed to train different muscle groups on each day and then give them time to recover before they're trained again. The 3 day split is a great balance for those that want results, but don't have the time to spend more sessions in the gym. This plan focuses on the exercises that maximize work on the targeted muscles. You can do the active rest day at home. 20 min cardio and abs Week 1 - 12,10,8 reps and a drop set of 15 reps Week 2 - 20 reps per set Week 3 - 15 reps for warm and 8 reps. At the last set apply rest paused till you get14 reps.
