I have designed this lean muscle building program for any one wanting to build quality muscle, you only need to do 3 weight sessions a week, meaning it is great for any one who has a hectic lifestyle and not lots of time to train hard. By training a body part once a week you will have no worries of over training and getting fatigued.
Good luck with your training

Lean muscle Building Routine Essentials
- 10 minutes aerobic warm up should be performed before weight training sessions
- Warm up sets should be performed for 15 reps (very light weight) for the first exercise of each body part i.e. bench press for chest, squats for legs etc
- A rest period of 1.5 minutes should be taken between each set
- Each set should be trained to failure (not warm up sets)
- For maximum results cycle every six weeks with power routine and then repeat
- Use a training diary to continuously monitor performance and to provide motivation
- Use the correct supplements and proper diet
