@Andrewgen_Receptors Hey man, if you are still up for it, could you adapt this workout to a full gym with free weights and machines and pretty much everything a gym would/should have? And could we do full body 3-4 days a week with no real limit on how long the workout will take.

I moved work locations and now have access to a full gym. Feel free to take your time and if you can’t no problem. Just let me know. Thanks!

Awesome, dude.


I don’t think i could do any better than the man, himself.

Same progression model. When you do more than the prescribed reps, add weight. Also do your best to beat the logbook every session.

Your recovery needs to be on point to run this.

Right on!!

I’ll start this week!

By the way @Andrewgen_Receptors, your workout plans have led to my best physique gains! Much appreciated.

And I’m reading it right that everything is a single set?

Yes, everything is a single set. Think of it like this:
“I’ve only got this one set to get maximum gains from… i need to juice it for everything i can get from it”

These sets should be brutal.

I’m humbled by your appreciation and consistency

Awesome, this matches my mindset really well. Eager to see how it works for my body.

last question, if I don’t get at least the same reps as the workout before, would it be a good idea to myo rep it to the previous number just to get a few extra reps in?

Personally, id just do partials, but you can use any intensifier you want in that scenario.

If you repeatedly seeing that you’re not progressing, or even regressing, on a exercise, it’s time to change to a new exercise that targets the muscle the same way.

How are you getting on with this new program?
Do you feel you are able to sufficiently exhaust the muscle with a single set?

I’m definitely feeling the muscles worked. I have gotten some soreness so if that’s an indicator sure, and the pump is there. I want to keep at it for a good while until I really assess things but as for now, yes I feel weak (muscle fatigue) leaving the gym. Also, I think I underestimated how much I could do on some of them and so I need to get all of the weight right for each exercise and then I’ll be able to better tell. Also I really like how workout 1 is real heavy for 6-10 on a muscle group and workout 2 is 15-25 slightly less heavy but higher reps. I like that way of balancing reps and weight through the workouts.

As for progression, I haven’t been able to assess any cumulative effects after doing this for 5-10 workout days so we will still see about that. At least to me if the numbers are going up consistently in either reps or weight then the program is working.

Got down to 165.8. Getting to 165 was my goal before building muscle back up again. Going to start increasing calories with new more frequent workout regimen.
