Plan Details
The Combat Strength, Mass, Workload and Capacity Routine routine by cshaft is a 10 day workout plan. It is an intermediate level plan to achieve bulking fitness goals.
This is your new training routine. Primarily focused on a relatively even split of mass and strength gains, with a small amount of integrated essential combat chassis strengthening exercises and cardio. For Weeks 1 2 & 3, the programs beginning with '#1' are to be used. This is simply a routine establishing phase, designed to acclimatise you to the intensity of the routine. Following this phase you will begin to alternate between the '#1' & '#2' programs on a week by week basis for a maximum of 10 weeks. (ie Week 4, all '#2' programs. Week 5, all '#1' programs etc). This phase is designed to prevent your body adapting to any one set of exercises or intensity of training, therefore creating muscle confusion. Following this phase, you must stick to one of the variants for a minimum of 3 weeks, after which you can resume the muscle confusion phase if desired, or you can alternate on a 3 week cycle. This routine is somewhat of a hybrid, created using: The core components of Arnold Schwarzenegger's original bulking and strength routines used in his peak years. Segments and principles derived from Special Forces build-up work, selection preparation and training. This includes specialist research and recommendations based apon, and from, members of the SASR and Australian Commando Regiments. As well as the renowned US Navy SEALs and the BUDS selection process. Please note that this routine is not a pre-selection or conditioning routine in itself. It is designed to help reach a level of strength and stamina that would facilitate a transition into those style regimens and routines, while still catering for those who are looking for an increase in mass, overall size, muscularity and capacity.
