“The HEAVY/LIGHT FLIP WORKOUT”

The Overview: You will do two whole body workouts in one week. The ideal days for training will be Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday. You will not train on Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday. Your heavy weight workout days will be Monday and Thursday for chest, delts, biceps, hamstrings and calves. Your heavy weight workout days for back, traps, triceps and quads will be Tuesday and Friday. You will be using supersets in a heavy set for one bodypart followed by a light set for the supersetted bodypart in this workout. 

For example, on Monday and Thursday you’ll work chest heavy and back light. Then on Tuesday and Friday, you’ll flip it and work back heavy and chest light.

Using chest and back as an example, on Monday you will be doing a heavy set of barbell inclines for chest supersetted with light seated cable rows for back.  On Thursday, it will be slight incline restricted movement dumbbell incline flyes for the heavy exercise for chest followed by light reverse-grip front pull-downs for back.

On Tuesday and Friday, you’ll flip the workout around and do heavy back training and light chest training. For example, you will be doing heavy 1-arm dumbbell rows supersetted with light high-incline dumbbell flyes. On Friday, you’ll do heavy E-Z Bar Reverse-Grip Rows supersetted with light pec dec flyes for chest. There are 40 exercises in this workout.
