Intense Muscle Building Workout Plans

Most people think that an intense muscle-building workout plan will require a person to be in the gym for 2 hours every day 6 times a week, hitting every muscle group from different angles!

 

Well, this is an approach taken by bodybuilders to build their physique. Take advice from any bodybuilder, and a 30 set/week per muscle group is what they will recommend.

 

Just take a look at what Arnold Schwarzenegger recommends in his book, Encyclopedia of Modern Bodybuilding.

 

Don’t get me wrong. I admire Arnold. But more for this determination and work ethic rather than his advice on bodybuilding.

 

A bodybuilder with amazing genetics coupled with a high dosage of steroid use will have no problem grinding out 30 sets or more per muscle group per week and even training twice a day!

 

You and I have average genetics and are natural athletes. Only a low-moderate volume approach will work for us! Period! You cannot have it another way.

 

You will be required to stimulate your muscles hard with an intensity level of 80-85% (roughly equates to 5-7 reps) most time of the year, with key compound movements like trap bar deadlifts, squats, overhead and incline presses and with weighted dips and pull-ups.

The training frequency that will work best for you is 3 times a week.

More important is the total volume, and in my knowledge going above 12 sets for a major muscle group is pushing it above limits!
