Take one of the best JEFIT offered workout programs for compound exercises and meld this with a workout that focuses on using the philosophy of Bigger, Leaner, Stronger principles of Mike Matthews and spice it up with the established norms of a sound cardio warm up and building a solid firm core and you have this workout routine. This is a 6 day per week split of compound exercise movements and motions to target muscles for growth. Also included is cardio for warm up and Abs concentration for building a toned and firm core. For BLS fans, consider the 5 day split (minus Sat) as a de-load week workout routine with about 10% lower weight loads than used for strength workouts (70%1RM). Load up weights to about 80% 1RM plus add the Saturday workout for strength training weeks. Three strength weeks, one de-load week per month is my personal preference. Note: A compound exercise is a workout that uses more than one joint and more than one muscle group to target the specific muscle that you are currently targeting. Also important to note: If you are tracking the Strength Benchmark The exercises marked with 8 sets are keyed to the JEFIT Benchmark Exercise Goal
