Most men want to become stronger and look better.

In order to do this we will work every muscle group at least once a week with compound and isolation exercises, so you can get this aesthetic look.

Cardio is also very important for your conditioning. With this men’s workout routine we only included one HIIT session, but recommend you to add at least one or two other session of HIIT (High Intensity Interval Training) or LISS

This men’s workout plan is composed of 5 days of training:

• 5 days of weight training
• 1 of these days will include HIIT (High Intensity Interval Training)
• 2 days of rest

Note: If you have joints pain, we highly recommend you to change the HIIT to LISS.

This men’s workout routine will often target a muscle group with compound exercises then isolation exercises. Since compound exercises also use secondary muscle groups at the same time, they will help you get bigger and stronger.

Here are some other benefits of compound exercises:

• Build the most muscle
• Increase strength the fastest
• Burn more calories during exercise
• Improve coordination, reaction and balance

If you want to build muscle mass, you will have to lift heavy and moderate weights so you can perform 8-12 reps with good form.

You should struggle to reach the given rep ranges, if it feels too light or too heavy adjust the weight accordingly. Make sure to perform each exercise with a good form and a full range of motion.

Training with very heavy weights (4-6 reps or less) can also be used to get stronger, but it’s not the only way to [https://www.gymaholic.co/articles/is-heavy-lifting-required-for-building-muscle-size](build muscle.)

This workout routine will help you get results, but don’t hesitate to make changes to it.

For example, if you’re a beginner you might want to reduce the number of sets to 3.

And for the rest periods, we highly recommend you to aim for 2 minutes for compound exercises, and 1 minute for isolation ones.

Oh hey, lifting weights won’t make you "bulky", a bad diet will!
