CHEST BUMP!!!! I know it’s been awhile since I’ve posted anything. I recently was hired by the great institution of UC Berkeley as a strength coach!!!!!
This 3 day workout is a beast, I have had my personal training clients use it and they have made amazing strength and body changes in a 5 week span. It is set up as a Push, Pull, Leg day split, and setup with each week having a different emphasis. You go from A1 thru A3 without rest, at the end of A3 give yourself a 30 second break then back through it. At the end of the workout there is a “Metabolic Finisher“, followed by 8 minutes of cardio interval training. Add in two cardio/”get out of the house” days to each week and you’ll see even faster results!!!

Hey Scott thanks so much for this workout it seems to really get someone in shape. I was wondering though would I see results athletically from this workout? Would my vertical improve from this?

This looks like a great workout, but don’t forget that one of the keys to getting a lot bigger is a proper diet! Your body is like an engine, if you put terrible things into it, you’ll get terrible results!
Sounds like one great exercise program and my interest is so piqued that I had to bookmark the page. I intend to refer to it when I begin my health and fitness self-program.
what do the letters before the excerises mean?
Go in orders A’s, then B’s etc. -Coach T
