What Does Intense Means?
We will do several exercises in a row, decrease the rest time between sets while including bodyweight and weighted exercises. By applying these principles, we will be able to work several muscle groups in one workout: thus build your whole body, increase the number of calories burned, improve our cardiovascular system and decrease the time spent in the gym.
Weight Training And Cardio Training For Men
If you're a beginner, you must first understand these workout principles. During this intense 3 days men's workout routine, we will put an emphasis on compound exercises in order to get big and burn fat.
This men's workout plan is composed of 3 days of training:
- 3 days of intense workout training
Train With Moderate Weights And Heavy Weights
During the 5 days men's workout routine, we've learned that lifting moderate/heavy is necessary to get a good shape and muscle definition.
But lifting heavy doesn't mean that you should do half reps. When you perform an exercise, you should go through all the range of motion in order to stimulate more muscle fibers.
Men Must Aim For 8-12 Reps To Get Ripped
Now you know that if you want to get ripped, you will have to work these muscles effectively. In order to achieve this, you will have to aim for 8-12 reps for all muscle groups except legs. This is the best rep range to give a good definition to your muscles.
Research has shown that if you struggle to achieve these rep ranges, you will get lean muscle mass. During this workout, we will vary the rep ranges depending on the exercises in order to shock the body!
Rest Time Between Each Set And Exercise
If you want to get ripped your body will need to recover between each set and exercise. The less you rest, the more calories you burn. But if you rest 20 sec, you will not get as much performance as if you would have rest 1:30min. So we will rest between 45 sec - 1:15 minutes between each set and 2 minutes between exercises. When you do a single exercise, your rest time will be 45 sec and if you perform several in a row, it will be 1:15 minutes.
