Shortcut To Size: Phase 2, Week 6, Day 37

Build your pulling power! Train your back for mile-wide lats, build bigger biceps with taller peaks, and target your core for total-body strength.
by Jim Stoppani, Ph.D. May 08, 2012

Shake off yesterday's session and get ready for another back attack. Row, pull, curl and crunch your way to a bigger, stronger physique.

Day 37: Back/Biceps/Abs

Terms You'll Need To Know

Rest-Pause: During weeks one and two of each phase of the program, you will do a rest-pause set as the last set of each exercise. To do this, reach muscle failure on the last set, then rack the weight and rest 15 seconds. Then continue the set until you reach muscle failure again.


Warm-up Sets: Perform 1-2 warm-up sets of 12-15 reps on the first exercise for all body parts, except abs and calves. Warm-up sets lubricate the joints, send blood to the working muscle, and prepare your body for a heavier load. After your warm-up sets, dive directly into the working sets below!

* If you cannot complete 15 reps, do as many as you can trying to get as close to 15 reps as possible.

If I did abs everyday would that be considered to much, and take away from my gains?

Yes, abs like any other muscles need time to recover and grow. Plus you use your core more than you realize doing other exercises like squats and dead lifts. If you really want a killer oblique workout, try one armed kettle bell lunges. Walk with the kettle bell on one side to start and switch sides coming back.

monday chest and tri and calves my bench went down. and my triceps went down. tuesday back and bi and abs my first exercise went up(because my body isnt used to doing that one). all my biceps basically went down. i did only consume one meal prior to working out both times, when i usually consume two. thoughts on how to break through a plateau or anyone else lifting the same or less than you did the previous week?
