This is a 4 day-a-week routine that cycles through 8 different workouts and repeats. Each workout is less than an hour. Take a rest day after every workout, unless the next day is a leg day. (So: upper body, rest, upper body, rest, upper body, legs, rest...etc.) Some days have a SUPERSET, indicated in the day title and by the 0 rest timer. Move to the next paired exercise with no rest. Some days have a DROPSET, indicated in day title and with a 6 in the sets number. Do 3 sets, without rest, but dropping down in weight by about half for each set. (So: 8 reps at 40 lbs., 8 reps at 20 lbs., 8 reps at 10 lbs.) Then take the rest. 99!? Some sets have "99" reps. That indicates to do at least as many reps as the previous set, but keep going until failure.
