Simple Free Full Body Strength Workout Plan to Build Strength and Muscle
This is my super-simple, “bulk up”, full body strength workout program that I use when I find I am losing limit strength or when I want to put on a few pounds of muscle.
Workout Frequency:
- No more than 3 times per week, per exercise/body part (I usually stick with 2 days and 72 hours between workouts).
Workout Intensity
- High weight (max. resistance = able to hold weight for one second at hardest part of rep)
- Low reps – 5 to 8 reps per set, 3 to 5 sets per exercise (focus on your weak areas)
Workout Duration:
- As long as it takes to finish, minimum 1 min. between sets (preferred – 2-3 minutes)
Exercises:
- Deadlift
- Squat
- Pullup, Lat Pulldown, or Rows
- Bench Press or Dips
- Shoulder Press
It’s simple, but it works. Try it for a four or six week cycle!

I suggest keeping your workout to 45 minutes or less to prevent muscle catabolism.

Martin, it’s diet and nutrition that will get you cut. If you already have size and are fit, but want more tone and definition, take a look at http://fitnessprogramsonline.com/paleo. It will help you out a lot.
