<b><u>Why This Routine Works</b></u> Repetition speed is highly overlooked by bodybuilders and by using a full spectrum of rep speed, from slow to fast reps, you will be able to maximize muscle growth. With most repetitions in a normal set, it takes about three - five seconds for a positive (first part) motion of rep and three - five seconds for a negative (last or second part) motion. This workout routine will be performed for up to 10 weeks being split into 5 two week periods. The first 2 weeks will consist of normal repetition motion/movements. On weeks 3 through 4, you will focus on fast movements for around 1 to 2 seconds per rep. Weeks 5 and 6 will return back to the normal repetition motions. For weeks 7 and 8, you will perform each rep for between 25 to 30 seconds. Finally during the final weeks of this workout program you will return back to a normal rate of motion for each rep. <b><u>Workout Day Split</b></u> <u>Weeks 1 - 2</u> Monday : Chest and Arms Tuesday : Back and Shoulders Thursday : Legs Friday : Chest, Back, and Legs <u>Weeks 3 - 4</u> Monday : Chest, Shoulders and Back Tuesday : Legs and Arms Thursday : Chest, Shoulders and Back Friday : Legs and Arms <u>Weeks 5 - 6</u> Monday : Chest and Arms Tuesday : Back and Shoulders Thursday : Legs Friday : Chest, Back, and Legs <u>Weeks 7 - 8</u> Monday : Chest and Triceps Tuesday : Legs Thursday : Shoulders Friday : Back and Biceps <u>Weeks 9 - 10</u> Monday : Chest and Arms Tuesday : Back and Shoulders Thursday : Legs Friday : Chest, Back, and Legs <b><u>Increasing Rep Speed for Muscle Growth Training Stats</b></u> <u>Weeks 1 - 2</u> Total Workout Time - 1 Full Week: 1 hour and 36 minutes Total Rest Time - 1 Full Week : 2 hours and 34 minutes Total Workout Time - Monday : 27 minutes Total Rest Time - Monday : 40 minutes Total Workout Time - Tuesday : 24 minutes Total Rest Time - Tuesday : 36 minutes Total Workout Time - Thursday : 21 minutes Total Rest Time - Thursday : 38 minutes Total Workout Time - Friday : 27 minutes Total Rest Time - Friday : 40 minutes <u>Weeks 3 - 4</u> Total Workout Time - 1 Full Week: 34 minutes Total Rest Time - 1 Full Week : 3 hours and 14 minutes Total Workout Time - Monday : 8 minutes Total Rest Time - Monday : 48 minutes Total Workout Time - Tuesday : 10 minutes Total Rest Time - Tuesday : 54 minutes Total Workout Time - Thursday : 8 minutes Total Rest Time - Thursday : 48 minutes Total Workout Time - Friday : 8 minutes Total Rest Time - Friday : 48 minutes <u>Weeks 5 - 6</u> Total Workout Time - 1 Full Week: 1 hour and 36 minutes Total Rest Time - 1 Full Week : 2 hours and 34 minutes Total Workout Time - Monday : 27 minutes Total Rest Time - Monday : 40 minutes Total Workout Time - Tuesday : 24 minutes Total Rest Time - Tuesday : 36 minutes Total Workout Time - Thursday : 21 minutes Total Rest Time - Thursday : 38 minutes Total Workout Time - Friday : 27 minutes Total Rest Time - Friday : 40 minutes <u>Weeks 7 - 8</u> Total Workout Time - 1 Full Week: 1 hour and 50 minutes Total Rest Time - 1 Full Week : 1 hour and 28 minutes Total Workout Time - Monday : 30 minutes Total Rest Time - Monday : 24 minutes Total Workout Time - Tuesday : 25 minutes Total Rest Time - Tuesday : 20 minutes Total Workout Time - Thursday : 25 minutes Total Rest Time - Thursday : 20 minutes Total Workout Time - Friday : 30 minutes Total Rest Time - Friday : 24 minutes <u>Weeks 9 - 10</u> Total Workout Time - 1 Full Week: 1 hour and 36 minutes Total Rest Time - 1 Full Week : 2 hours and 34 minutes Total Workout Time - Monday : 27 minutes Total Rest Time - Monday : 40 minutes Total Workout Time - Tuesday : 24 minutes Total Rest Time - Tuesday : 36 minutes Total Workout Time - Thursday : 21 minutes Total Rest Time - Thursday : 38 minutes Total Workout Time - Friday : 27 minutes Total Rest Time - Friday : 40 minutes <b><u>Equipment Used</b></u> Barbell, Dumbbell, Strength Machine, Cable Machine, Leg Press Machine, Bench, Weight Plate <b><u>Nutrition</b></u> • Protein - Egg Whites, Lean Chicken, Lean Beef, Protein Shakes, Cottage Cheese, Greek Yogurt, Lean Ground Turkey, Peanut Butter • Carbs - Sweet Potatoes, Quinoa, Brown Rice, Beans (Black or Kidney), Oatmeal, Whole Wheat Toast, Of course you cannot forget your fruits and vegetables for a balance of nutrients, antioxidants and fiber.
