Weight Training:


 

Notes:  Day 3 of the program is basically an active rest day and should be viewed as more of an conditioning day.  If you had to drop a day out of this program it should be Day 3.  Put all your focus and energy on the Days 1,2 and 4, as these days combine the Primariy and Secondary lifts together for maximum strength and developement.
