Training Plans - Arm Workout

Ah, the ol' Bi's and Tri's. Working arms has always been one of my favorite workouts but for different reasons than something like Chest Day. Working arms feels good and it's often an easier workout than many others. The biceps can take a lot. It takes quite a while for me to fully exhaust my biceps and triceps, so I feel strong throughout the entire workout. With an area like arms, I focus on two key things during the workout...

12 Week Bulk to Gain Lean Mass Program - FTM Fitness

This bulk program is going to be challenging for me because I have a hard time with being "fluffy". Anytime my body fat goes up, especially around my waist, my dysphoria kicks up. I struggle with this and it is a hurdle to overcome. I know I want to gain size, strength, and muscle mass but getting there requires a bit of puffiness and less of a lean/tight look. This will be my battle... allowing myself to gain weight and finding the mental peace with it.

Training Plans - Chest Workout

This chest routine is a beast. It hammers the chest muscles until they are completely depleted. This is my one workout where I sometimes struggle to complete the lasts sets because my muscles are so done by the end of the routine. It is extremely effective though.

Training Plans - Shoulder Workout

My current routine focuses on putting mass on the shoulders. Each time I train shoulders, I focus on overloading them with a difficult heavier (not too heavy) weight and then cooking them with a high rep more isolated movement.

Training Plans - Back & Butt Workout

This routine is for intermediate lifters. It is extremely effective for strengthening the back and giving a carved out appearance. I have found deadlifts great for achieving a deep valley down the spine and also increasing the cut of the obliques. Try it out and see if you can incorporate any of these super sets into your back workout.

3 Week Cut to Lean Program

After completing 9 weeks of a "cut diet" with cheat meals at least once a week and next to no cardio, I decided it was time to try something different for the last 3 weeks of my cut programming.
