Men's Maximum Gains 5-Day Split
A popular method of training with body builders is a 5-day split with a target overload. This is effective because it allows you to hit the muscle with everything you've got and then you get to rest it for a week. These sessions should be particularly intense, each set taken to at least positive failure working at 100% intensity. Rest only 45 seconds to 1 minute between sets.

These are the exercises that my clients do while under my close supervision. Please use caution when working out, no matter what the circumstances. I recommend using an experienced spotter or trainer when doing any lifting. Jean-Paul Fitness Specialists is not personally responsible for any injury you may incur. It is possible that you may experience:
  • Soreness
  • Pulled muscles
  • Heat prostration
  • Muscle or ligament tears
  • Broken bones
If I have left anything out, use your imagination! Typical weight-lifting related injuries occur in the lower back, shoulders, elbows (triceps tendon especially) and knees; but they are not limited to those areas. PLEASE BE CAREFUL.
