Plan Details
The 8-6-4 routine by Jeffdwaldron is a 8 day workout plan. It is an intermediate level plan to achieve bulking fitness goals.
This workout is a Bulking and Strength building routine that is used in alot of high school weight lifting classes. The "ON" days you do 5 sets of intermittent reps. 8-6-4-4-8 Start with roughly 60% of your 1 RM and increase by a percentage that you find acceptable final set will be back to the 60%. example would be 1 RM of 200 8-120 6-135 4-150 4-150 8-120 - This one should really burn The "OFF" days you do 5 sets of intermittent reps. 7-5-3-3-7 Start with 40-50% of your 1 RM and increase by a percentage that you find acceptable final set will be back to the 40-50%. example would 7-80 5-90 3-100 3-100 7-80 You can take a rest day on the third/fifth day and just do cardio or you can go back to the 8-6-4-4-8. all depending on what your body can take. Feel free to modify to work for your Gym.
