These quick workouts are for people who want to improve their postures. The exercises target the weakened foundations pulling your body out of alignment. The sessions are short yet effective. Use the workouts to raise yourself to the next level before the new year starts. Instructions: - Do the exercises as a circuit, or one at a time if you find the circuit format too challenging. - Repeat the circuit or each exercise 3 to 4 times. - The sessions are light enough that you can done daily.

If you want to actually train your Chest as efficiently/effectively as possible instead of WASTING YOUR TIME…. I’d recommend doing something like this each week: Upper A - Incline (Clavicular Pecs) Machine Press x 2-3 Sets - Pec Fly Machine x 2-3 Sets Upper B (Performed 3-4 days after Upper A) - Flat/Seated (Sternal Pecs) Machine Press x 2-3 Sets - Seated Low to High Cable Flys x 2-3 Sets This will result in you doing somewhere between 8-12 sets of direct Chest work per week Low likelihood you need any more volume than that to improve your Chest mightily if following the notes below: 1) The ideal rep range to be using when performing the exercises mentioned is the 5ish to 10ish rep range — Choose a weight you can do for 5, 6, 7 reps @ 0-2 RIR…once you can do that weight for 8, 9, 10ish reps, increase the load by 5ish pounds 2) You should perform all reps of all the listed exercises with a controlled (but not overly slow) eccentric and an explosive (but still controlled) concentric 3) You should perform these exercises very early in your workout to ensure they are as efficient/effective as possible — If you perform them later on, you will not get as robust a growth stimulus from the sets because of the outstanding fatigue that will be present from the earlier sets/exercises in your workout Additional notes: - You may sub any of these exercises for comparable exercises due to preferences and/or equipment availability — Ex: Flat/Seated Machine Press subbed for Flat Smith Machine Bench Press or Flat Barbell Bench Press - I probably forgot something that I should’ve mentioned…if I think of it I’ll drop it in the post below

Training Volume / Intensity / Rep Range / Progressive Overload — Everything You Need To Know: (This is what will grow MOST people best) 𝗧𝗢𝗧𝗔𝗟 𝗦𝗘𝗧𝗦 𝗣𝗘𝗥 𝗪𝗘𝗘𝗞 45ish-60ish total working sets per week - If training 3x per week, this will mean 16, 17, 18ish sets per session - If training 4x per week, this will mean 13, 14, 15ish sets per session - If training 5x per week, this will mean 10, 11, 12ish sets per session 𝗧𝗢𝗧𝗔𝗟 𝗦𝗘𝗧𝗦 𝗣𝗘𝗥 𝗕𝗢𝗗𝗬 𝗣𝗔𝗥𝗧 𝗣𝗘𝗥 𝗪𝗘𝗘𝗞 - For balanced development, you’re going to want to perform 5, 6, 7, 8ish sets per body part per week - If prioritizing a muscle group, you’re going to want to perform 8, 9, 10, MAYBE 10+ sets for that body part each week - If deprioritizing a muscle group, you only need 2, 3, 4ish sets for that body part each week to maintain existing development 𝗙𝗥𝗘𝗤𝗨𝗘𝗡𝗖𝗬 In all likelihood, you will get MORE (in the way of stimulus) by splitting the work you do for a given muscle group across 2 sessions per week Splitting the work you do for a given muscle group across 3 sessions per week can work as well but the potential benefit is probably NOT that large and it diminishes the margin of safety Performing all the work you do for a given muscle group on ONE day (Bro Split Style) can work but it like has an opportunity cost associated with it 𝗧𝗢𝗧𝗔𝗟 𝗦𝗘𝗧𝗦 𝗣𝗘𝗥 𝗘𝗫𝗘𝗥𝗖𝗜𝗦𝗘 The sweet spot is generally 2-3 sets for a given exercise in a given session 1 set is fine depending on the context of the programming as a whole but you likely didn’t squeeze all the juice out of the lemon If you preform 4+ sets of a given exercise in a given session, what the fuck were you doing the first couple of sets? 𝗜𝗡𝗧𝗘𝗡𝗦𝗜𝗧𝗬 The intensity you take sets to can GREATLY IMPACT how many total sets you can perform while still allowing for adequate recovery from session to session Generally speaking, it is a good idea to leave about 1 RIR on most exercises to ensure stimulus is robust but fatigue is kept at bay There is one HUGE caveat to that however: If you do not trust your ability to accurately gauge RIR, it is better to just take your sets to 0 RIR/Failure than it is to risk sandbagging sets by leaving an incidental 2, 3, 4+ reps in the tank…just know you will not be able to generate as high a net stimulus throughout the week if you live in this intensity range 𝗥𝗲𝗽 𝗥𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗲/𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗴𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗢𝘃𝗲𝗿𝗹𝗼𝗮𝗱 Pick a weight you can do for 5-6ish reps with GOOD-GREAT technique @ the prescribed RIR (should be 0-2 RIR) Once you can hit 7, 8, 9, 10ish reps with the same GOOD-GREAT technique @ the prescribed RIR, increase the load You can weight select on a SET BY SET BASIS — this means in theory some of your sets could be heavier/lighter than others (assuming you’re doing multiple sets of a given exercise on a given day)
