This is a fork of Jefit's intermediate bulking routine. It is formatted specifically for people who have limited time in their day to workout and to help out those of us who have lower back issues.
This is also focused on repairing, or halting, APT (anterior pelvic tilt). Every day has at least one set focused on resetting your pelvis position.
During this workout program for each set, you will want to complete a full rep, return the bar back to the starting position take a 15-30 second break and complete the rest of the reps for the set until the set is complete.
As you perform your workout routine, your set will look as such, perform 1st set and 1st rep, take 15 second break and continue with 2nd rep until set is complete. Begin 2nd set and 1st rep, take 15 second break and continue with 2nd rep until all reps in the set is complete.
You will want to perform at least 70% of your one rep max for each rep within the set, until you complete all of the reps. It is important to make every rep count within your set or you will be limiting yourself the gains and growth that you are looking to attain.
This is indeed a difficult program as you will be forcing your muscles to push out the heaviest weight that you can perform possible, thus it is important to take the proper amount of rest in between each set possible as well as having a spotter for your workout.
You will want to follow this routine for around 4 - 8 weeks, depending on how the program is working for you. This will allow for the most gains possible from this method of training.
