Are they really advocating 3 exercises 3 days a week? - Page 2 - Ausbb

Mike, about how long does the workout take? Have SERIOUS time constraints at the moment and looking for smart options.

Thanks.
I've added some calf raises to the work out on Wednesday, started them about week 4.

For me it used to take about 60-70 mins but you can rest less between sets so i can imagine completing a workout in about 40 mins.

Persoanlly I like to be fully recovered before taking on the next set since I'm not after any type of cardio or endurance workout.

I haven't really timed it, but Fri is the heaviest day and takes me about an hour.
I guess it also depends on if you do the "assistance" exercises, which I do. On Fri they are
3 sets weighted dips 5-8 reps
3 sets barbell curls x 8 reps
3 sets tricep extensions x 8 reps
There are assistance exercises for Mon ans Wed too.

Wed is the easiest day and takes 30 - 40 mins.

Its a really good workout and the time depends alot on how long you rest between sets.
why not try it for a week and time yourself?
Mike.
