This is what I have been doing at the gym for the past few
weeks. I must say that it’s not the easiest training split out there, but it
has been showing great results. The split focuses on strength and endurance,
which makes it great for recreational athletes and beginners in general. Keep
in mind that exercises here are done as supersets (Superset: a combination of a
set of one exercises followed by a set of another exercises with minimal to no
rest between them). For example
, on chest and back day the first two exercises (1.1 and 1.2) are supersets; do one set of 1.1, and then quickly do one set of 1.2. You can click on each exercise to watch an instructional video about how to do it correctly (will open in a new window). Here we go:

- Wednesday: Rest/Cardio
- Thursday: Day 3: Shoulders/Arms
- Friday: Day 1: Chest/Back
