3-2-1 anti overtraining program
This program is ideal for the following people:
People who don't have time to spend hours in the gym
People who are suffering from overtraining
People who are coming off a steroid cycle
People who just want to try something different
It is a four day split and works on 1 mass exercise for 3 sets and 5 reps, a secondary exercise for 2 sets, 8 reps and a final single exercise for pumping the blood into the muscle.
For this program you will need to keep a training journal, because each week your intensity must increase. By this I mean that you cannot, while on this program, decrease your weight for each exercise, you must either increase it or keep it the same and do more reps...
Also, remember to warm up and stretch before every exercise.
