I’ve received several messages from those who wanted to see my current workout in full. Thanks for the messages and here you go.
First a couple of points to be made:
- I train around five or six days per week. I usually go with Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday.
- Each workout is an hour or less. Any longer and I’m not keeping track of rest periods enough.
- I’m 45 so my reps are higher these days. This has actually proven to be better for muscle mass, for me at least.
- Rest periods are kept between 30 (for smaller groups) and 60 seconds (for larger groups). Pay very close attention to this. It’s the special sauce in how all this works.
- I operate my training on an A and B routine. I have two workouts for each day that I rotate on a regular basis. This keeps it interesting.
- I’m more interested in putting on muscle and reshaping my body instead of building pure strength. These workouts will still get you stronger, but that’s not the main focus.
- Abs are trained each day except leg day. 3 or 4 sets of crunches and 3 or 4 sets of leg raises.

Great post, thanks for giving us an inside look
You got it! Thanks for your comment.
Hey Brad, Thanks for sharing man! Really like the structure and layout of this workout
Thanks!
Hi Brad, great workout split and looking to begin using it. Quick question: if I use this workout as prescribed, do you think it could help with weight loss? Not too much, just maybe 10 pounds around the midsection. I’m 55 years old so my metabolism is changing and I’ve also begun walking recently for about thirty minutes a day.
Thank you Brad.

Hi Michael, in a word, yes. I think with the combination of higher reps and short rest periods you’ll definitely strip off some body fat. The only thing is that over a few weeks you will build some appreciable muscle. This may make the scale not change much in that you’ll lose some fat and gain some muscle. So I wouldn’t look to the scale too closely. Instead keep an eye on how your clothes fit and how you look. If you’re seeing a difference in the right direction, then that’s all that counts.
Thank you Brad. I appreciate it.
