5 Day Accelerated Results Workout for Greater Strength and Muscle Definition Variation 2

Before we get started on the workout, let’s take a moment to discuss why you may want to consider the twice-per-week-per-bodypart routine. The main reason is speed of results. So long as your body heals quickly enough, you can expedite your results by training each muscle group two times per week. That is what this split is designed to help you do…get results quickly. So how do you go about splitting up the twice per week routine?

When choosing a workout split that works for you it is important to first determine the number of days you are available to train on a regular basis. Once you know the number of days, then picking the body parts to work with each workout becomes much easier. There is no “right split.” There are instead numerous possibilities you can chose from to reach your goals. This five day split is awesome for hitting every major muscle group TWICE per week. It allows a person with 4-5 hours a week available to work out to make unbelievable gains. Believe it! In five 40-55 minute workouts, as listed here, you can create a rock hard physique at twice the speed.

ProNOTE: Observing the REST DAYS as scheduled is of the utmost importance in this workout.

The following is a program designed to whip your entire body into shape. This is a comprehensive regiment designed to build lean mass and symmetry throughout the physique. The number of exercises, sets and repetitions is adjusted depending upon your current fitness level. If you are a “beginner,” this workout is not for you. You are better off to start with one of the other One Session Per Body Part Per Week Workouts on our site. This program is designed with Intermediate and Advanced Lifters in mind.

Once you have mastered the Intermediate level and are competent and confident in your progression then, and only then, move on to the Advanced level. It should go without saying, but it is advised to seek clearance from a medical professional before beginning any exercise program. This is no different. And as always if any exercise feels dangerous or hurts in a way other than good muscle burn, use an alternative exercise. This is a challenging program and all warnings and necessary precautions should be taken. Now that that has been said and all of the legal bases are covered…it’s time to get serious!

There you go! That is an awesome accelerated results training week. I recommend you use a training journal and track your weight and reps each workout. This is a way to be sure you are progressing. You will find that if you are pushing yourself as hard as you should you won’t always get all of the reps. When that happens, use the same weight the next time you do the workout. When you find you get all of the prescribed repetitions, bump up the weight a bit on the next workout. Practice clean eating and do this work-out and you will get results! Remember to start at the right level and progress to the next when the time is right.
