Workouts

Below is an example of what a usual week in the gym looks like for me. I have been training and eating clean for almost 2 years. When I first started out I only made it to the gym 2-3 times a week and my workouts typically only took 45 minutes. As I progressed I started going to the gym 5-6 times a week and my workouts now take about 2 hours. It takes time to build tolerance and endurance to lifting weights but we all have to start some where :)

I train all of these body parts on separate days. I usually do not perform cardio so I usually will just pick up the pace on a couple of my lifting days by incorporating active rests and minimal resting time in between sets.
