Believe it or not, you can build muscle and increase overall strength by doing less in the gym. Did you know that it's possible to see results with only 1 true work set for each exercise you perform every workout? This high intensity bodybuilding program is designed to guide you through maximal intensity work sets each training day. This method of training is designed to make your workouts highly effective, much shorter in duration, and teach you what it takes to push the intensity of your training hard enough to get the results you want to see.
Each training day is based on a Full Body split. We perform 1 exercise for each major muscle group and only 1 work set for each of those exercises. Your only requirement, use weights that will bring you to 0-2 "reps in reserve". This means that the weight you use for each work set needs to be challenging enough to force the rep count you are doing to be very very close to failure.
If you are someone who is looking to cut back on time spent in the gym, need a shorter workout, or find yourself slowly drowning in the mix of "high volume" body building, this program is exactly what you need to get yourself on track for big time results in the gym.
