Use the following protocol for all exercises listed unless otherwise noted.

1 MINUTE ON/30 SECOND REST X 5 ROUNDS

INSTRUCTIONS FOR PROTOCOL SETUP

Download Gym Next Flex Timer from Play Store on your mobile device (phone).

Once you have accessed the site menu (Upper left button on Samsung Galaxy Phones), under the "Timer Modes" Select "Round".

You are now in the window for "Round"

Enter Number of rounds: 5

Enter Round duration: 1 minute

Enter Rest between rounds: 30 seconds

Save (name it) to favorites: 1 ON 30 OFF x 5

USE Manual Speed (REGULAR SPEED/CONTROLLED)

Repetitions are performed by doing a "normal speed" (2 second PUSH/PULL) CONCENTRICALLY, and lowering ECCENTRICALLY at a "normal speed" (2 second RESISTANCE)

Repetition Range

Full Range of Motion each rep. Do not lock out or rest weight on joints. Pace Yourself. If unable to complete each set/reps, rest with weight/load on muscles worked, not joints. The object is to keep your Heart Rate elevated and muscles under load for the duration of the protocol. After each exercise, check your heart rate. Find pulse on neck or wrist. Count your pulse for ten seconds and multiply by 6 to find your beats per minute. You may want to use headphones for the exercise protocol.

Thursdays Stretch

Fridays Legs, Chest, Upper Back, Shoulders, Biceps, Triceps, Abs, Obliques, Lower Back

Pick 1 exercise for each muscle group in order listed. Increase weight for exercise selected from previous (exercise) workout.

(*) Asterisk indicates through a process of trial and error over the course of your first workouts, determine a weight that will elicit a maximal effort within the appropriate repetition range for the overload protocol listed.

When you are able to complete each exercise in proper form for the prescribed number of repetitions, add the appropriate weight (depending upon the difficulty of the exercise, an appropriate increase may be as little as 1 pound yet not usually greater than 10 pounds) and continue to progress. Never sacrifice quality of lifting form for quantity of weight lifted!

Chart (weight and repetitions) every exercise each workout

If progress decreases/ceases, rest (skip a workout) Decrease the weight and try to work up past the plateau.

Make sure your lower back is not arched when lying down or seated against a back rest. Engage abs by pushing low back into bench or back rest.
