Workout 6 days a week. Work each muscle group twice per week; once heavy, and once light.

Monday- chest & bi's-heavy

Tuesday- back & tri's-light

Wednesday-shoulders & legs- heavy

Thurs- chest & bi's - light

Friday- back & tri's - heavy

Sat. - shoulders & legs - light

Sunday. Chill and eat good.

U still gotta get some cardio in there. I do sprints and intervals 5-7 days a week.
