My Monday, Wednesday & Friday Workout Routine (intermediate-advanced)

by Mason Smith
(Calgary AB. Canada)

MASS ROUTINE

do 3 sets of 6-10 reps each

MON, WED & FRI
1.squats
2.deadlifts
3.bench press
4.wide grip overhand pull ups to front (weighted)
5.incline bench press
6.bent over barbell rows
7.standing military press
8.upright rows
9.tricep dips (weighted)
10.barbell curls
11.standing calf raises (3 x 6-10 + partials to 20)
12.crunches/hanging leg raises (3 supersets to fail)

This routine is intense but worth it if you
are serious about gaining mass. If you think
squats and dead's are to close together move the
deadlifts elswhere like after bent over rows is good.
I like to do squats & dead's back to back in the beginning when i am fresh, dont wory you will adapt. If you think this routine is to much, or you can't do squats and dead's in the same workout, or 48 hours is to short a time to recover from that, or full body programs using mostly compound exercises are for begginers only, i strongly advise you study B.S. (Before Steroids) Bodybuilders 1940-1970 and check out how they gained mass naturaly like: Reg Park, Steeve Reeves, Bill Pearl, John Grimek, Marvin Eder ect... The volume of this routine is similar to a Reg Park routine i used a while back. By the way Reg Park
was Arnold Schwarzeneggers idol and inspiration.
