Most exercises throughout the routines are performed as a mini superset/complex set or circuit. The workouts illustrate which exercises are grouped together, therefor be sure to pair up exercises as modified supersets/complex sets. For example,
during upper body portions, back rows and chest presses are typically paired together. This allows maximal muscle activation, force production, and time efficiency. The lifter would do the first row, rest for the allotted time, perform the chest press,
rest the allotted time, then repeat this circuit for the desired number of sets before moving to the next circuit. Immediately after completing the strength portion of the workout consume 30-50 grams of protein and 40-100 grams of carbohydrates.
Larger individuals or those looking for greater weight gain should consume higher numbers (especially carbohydrates) while smaller individuals or those looking to reduce bodyfat should keep the carbohydrate intake lower. After consuming the
post-workout meal described above, perform the steady state cardio on the treadmill shown above.
