Warrior Focus — #8 in the Series “Training Schedule Overview — 7 October 2015

Training like anything else that is worthy of our attention requires thought, planning, and execution.  We have to truly believe that this endeavor is what we want to embark on. This may take tons of upfront discussion with people of like mind mingled with some day dreaming and experimenting with various gyms and equipment.  Because bodybuilding is a total lifestyle change and commitment, the decision to engage in all that is required in the sport cannot be  frivolous.

Regarding “PLANNING” I would arrange my training around a 6 day per week regimen.  I will be going into depth on each exercise later but for now I will reveal the basic outline to be applied to a “six day per week training schedule” and her it is:

Monday:
Shoulders, Abs and Traps

Tuesday:
Hamstrings, Calves and Quad Extensions

Wednesday:
Back and Lats and Abs and Traps

Thursday:
Arms (Triceps and Biceps)

Friday:
Abs, Calves, Quads

Saturday:
Chest, Traps, Posterior Delts

Sunday:
Day of Rest

Note:  Each day of training also will be accompanied by 50 Minutes of Aerobics

Notice that there is a specific workout each day of training.  This specific attention to particular muscle group allows you to destroy them and then to let them rest until they roll up on the training calendar in the future.

Stick to the regimen.  Don’t try to do everything you think you need in a single session. Consistency each day will build a sound foundation of habits and progress that other muscle heads will envy.

Use this organizational outline for your workouts.  It’s easy to follow this outline and I will workout the particulars to share with you in the near future.  Just wanted you to have something to follow and around which you can organize your training schedule.

I will leave you with this for now.  Later, we will get into the actual selection of exercises for each training day.

This is “OUR” time and we need to use all tools at our disposal to be efficient in our personal quests to accomplish our personal goals.

Until next time.
