Perform these workouts in the order shown. Do one workout every 3 days. If you are still tired or sore, then wait an extra day before the next workout.
Remember, the work(heavy) sets are to be done to failure but you must be able to use fairly strict form. If you can’t or if you have to “cheat” or use poor form, lower the weight. Muscle is built with good form.
Don’t listen when people tell you nothing good in life is free. Give these free bodybuilding routines a try.
