I got this from a Men's Health a while back. This is the first time I have actually gone for a complete body workout. This plan is supposed to help burn fat and add some lean muscle...
Workout A
Front Squat - 1a) 4 sets 5-7 reps
Bent Barbell Rows - 1b) 4 sets 5-7 reps
Bench Press - 2a) 4 sets 5-7 reps
Good Morning - 2b) 4 sets 5-7 reps
Chin-Up - 3a) 4 sets 5-7 reps
Dumbbell Push Press - 3b) 4 sets 5-7 reps
Workout B
Dumbbell Step-up - 1a) 3 sets 10-12 reps
Hammer Curl to Press - 1b) 3 sets 10-12 reps
Single Arm Dumbbell Row - 2a) 3 sets 10-12 reps
Incline Dumbbell Press - 2b) 3 sets 10-12 reps
Pullover to Triceps Ext. - 3a) 3 sets 10-12 reps
Deadlift - 3b) 3 sets 10-12 reps
So for the first week you would do Workout A Monday, Workout B Wednesday, Workout A again Friday, then the next week switch it to Workout B Monday, Workout A Wednesday, Workout B again Friday...
Perform the first set of 1a, rest 30 - 60 seconds then perform the first set of 1b, rest 60 - 90 seconds repeat... then move on to 2 and then 3...
So far I find this to be an excellent workout. I used this in the past for a few weeks, but not consistanty enough to notice any major changes, but I am hoping to keep this up for a 6 week period (today was day one, week one, starting with workout A) and then evaluate my progress, then repeat another 6 week cycle and re-evaluate and hopefully see some nice results...
