6th & 7th Day Is Off

Repeat day one after this...

Reminder: If your lifting much more heavier weight, please use a back support belt or lumbar support to avoid any back injuries. Also, please do a warm up exercise(s) before the program and do a cool down exercise after it. Limit your exercise not more than an hour, maybe at first it is difficult to do this but if your focus on what your doing then you can make it approximately 40-45 minutes. And please guys and girls, don't show off, doing this makes no sense at all when you can't lift the barbell or dumbbell or worst it can get you to an injury that you will regret later. In my experience, I saw some guys put more plates to their barbell  to do a bench press and what happens next is when he lifted the bar he's right elbow had been dislocated and the bar drops to his chest giving him more injuries. Estimate what you can do or what you can lift, push or pull with heavy weights. Have fun on the gym!
