Plan Details
The Compound Exercise Routine: Big 5 routine by JefitTeam is a 5 day workout plan. It is a beginner level plan to achieve general fitness goals.
This is a 4-day intermediate level, strength training program that focuses on 5 compound lifts per workout session. Each exercise has five sets that needs to be completed, in order to give you the recommended 10-20 sets per week for each muscle group. Each week you will basically work the upper and lower body twice. Follow this routine for 4-8 weeks, increasing the resistance when you can perform more than 12 repetitions in a given set. Increase your weight by either 5 or 10 percent for upper and lower body exercises respectively. All sessions are between 60-75 minutes in length. Stay Strong Together, MICHAEL WOOD, CSCS Jefit
