Plan Details
The High volume Bodybuilding workout routine by jlhflex is a 5 day workout plan. It is an intermediate level plan to achieve general fitness goals.
This routine is designed as a high volume and high intensity workout. I use this routine as a rotating routine. For example, start on day one, continue day two, three, four and on day five rest. Start over at day one, following the same pattern. This will allow 72 hours of rest per muscle group. The only exception is calves and abs. I normally exercise calves and abs everyday usually at the end of my workout or a later part of the day. feel free to adjust this workout according to your fitness level. You may add 2 days off instead of 1 or place a rest day between day 2 and day 3. Tweak this according to your needs. I have followed many routines over the course of the last 30 years. I followed the typical bro split, 5 and 6 days a week for many years of became stagnant. I changed this to the 4-day schedule as mentioned above and noticed great improvement even as a veteran bodybuilder. This will give you at least 2 days Per muscle group. Calves and abs are set as day five on here but can be done either as a second workout on any day or on your rest day. Good luck and add me as a friend if you need any assistance! Happy gym time!
