Plan Details
The Classic Bodybuilding Routine routine by JefitTeam is a 3 day workout plan. It is an intermediate level plan to achieve bulking fitness goals.
This is a classic bodybuilding routine taken from an article written by former bodybuilder and personal trainer, Ric Drasin, who trained in the 1970's with Arnold S. and Franco Columbo. These were some of his favorite "old school" exercises that he did. We also matched the same exercises that he mentioned - via supersets - that he and others did at Gold Gym. In the routine that he discussed, they typically performed 3 sets of 8-12 repetitions. Since we can't enter a repetition range, we used 8, 10 and 12 repetitions respectively on different training days. We also used two day recovery periods between workouts because the workouts are all high intensity 60-90+ minute training sessions. Each training session contains 12 exercises for a full body workout. Each subsequent workout is slightly longer due to an increase in volume. Stay Strong, MICHAEL WOOD, CSCS Jefit Team
