Cathe - suggestion for next month's rotation?
- Thread starter jazz
- Start date
This has been great for me
An old Tank Top Rotation that I break out every spring--originally posted in 2002 by Marlene123 (I don't know if she even still visits here). It's my fav rotation to not only build beautiful arms but shed those few winter pounds I tend to put on every year.
Here is my current rotation which I have been doing for 10 weeks. I plan to do two more weeks of this, then two to three weeks of Slow & Heavy and then back again. I have had such incredible success with this rotation that I hate to let it go even for a few weeks but I know I must to cause some muscle confusion.
Anyway, here it is (and I admit, it's a killer):
Day #1: Pure Strength Chest, Back, Shoulders, Biceps, Triceps
Day #2: CTX Leaner Legs
Day #3: CTX Shoulders, Biceps, Triceps plus cardio
Day #4: Cardio
Day #5: MIS
Day #6: Cardio
Day #7: Cardio or rest
As you can see, this routine works shoulders, biceps and triceps three times per week, chest and back twice and legs twice. I do abs 4-5 times per week as well.
Everyone is different and this may be too much training for some but it works for me. In order to develop cuts and definition I have to work the muscles frequently, making sure there is a day of rest between. My abs, which I work the most, have become fabulous - I even have a six pack that I can actually see and feel. Awesome. So in my case at least, the three times a week sessions for the shoulders and arms have produced the best results. I am ready for tank top weather.
You may have to get these tapes but they are well worth it. Also, since I changed to DVD for the strength training it is a snap to go through the sections without winding, re-winding etc. DVD's are cheap now, about $80, and I went ahead and purchased Pure Strength, Slow and Heavy, and Power Hour-MIS DVD's even though I own the videotapes. The DVD system allows for quick transitions through the various segments.
Hope this helps.
