I've been weight training for about 15 years at this point and I've learned a lot. There are so many workouts out there, fitness gurus, Instagram influencers, and 5-minute ab videos; some of them are good, some bad, and you don't know until you try them out for yourself.
This is the workout that I've been doing for years and have been slowly adding details and modifying it with new learnings to make it even better. I am a hyper-efficient person and try to get the most value out of everything I do. This is my workout template that I can adjust for whatever my goals are for that time of year. Whether I am trying to bulk and put muscle on, training for max strength, or cutting down and losing weight. I can flex this workout for whatever I need. I've shared this with many close friends over the years and they have seen tremendous results. Not only that but they have also provided me with feedback on how to make the workout better which I've incorporated gladly.
This workout focuses on the big lifts; Squat, Bench, Deadlift, and Overhead Press. They are difficult and scary but they are the best exercises you can do to get the most benefit. Nothing worth doing is easy, that's why many people don't squat, because squats are hard, but the difficulty is the results. I would like to stress that mobility, full range of motion, and technique are key to your success in achieving your goals and your longevity. Staying healthy and uninjured is the name of the game so this should take top priority over everything.
So give this workout a try. Use it, modify it, stick with it, and let me know what you think. I hope this helps you on your fitness journey and to achieve the body, and results that you desire.
