This is a workout routine from Muscle Media. Let me know what you guys think of it. I am giving it a shot. It is an 8-week routine. It starts with a 2-week introductory cycle then builds to a 6-week growth cycle. They say that you can easily pack on 10-15 lbs in the 8 weeks provided that you get adequate rest and nutrition.
1) Do 2 exercises, bench presses and deadlifts, in that order
2) Perform all your sets at a medium to slow tempo with a one-second pause on the bottom
3) Rest for approx. one minute or as long as it takes to adjust the poundage between sets
4) Rest 3 minutes between series
5) On Monday (3 rd week) perform as many sets as possible in good form while avoiding muscle failure. When you have successfully completed 5 series, add 5 pounds to the bench press 10RM and 10 pounds to the deadlift 10RM and recalculate your weights at 50 percent and 75 percent
Here is the rundown:
Week 1:
Monday- 50% of your 10 Rep Max (RM) x 5 reps, 75% of your 10RM x 5 reps
Repeat this 3 x
Wednesday- Same as above but repeat 4x
Friday- Same as above by repeat 5x
