Plan Details
The Full Body Routine in your 40s routine by sainthound is a 3 day workout plan. It is an intermediate level plan to achieve bulking fitness goals.
This is a 3 day a week full body routine for guys in their 40s who have some strength training under their belt. Focus is on the big lifts, compound movements, little to no machines. Feel free to supplement with cardio and abs and you feel so moved. On the last set do more than what it calls for. When you can hit 10 reps (or 12 or 15 depending on what the other sets were like) increase the weight. Rinse and repeat for steady gainz.
