Goal: Gain more "ripped" muscle tone, lose 10 lbs body fat.
4 weeks total. Then switch workout.
The foundation of this is basically "The Rocks" workout routine. I admire Dwayne Johnson, aka The Rock, a lot more since he quit the wrestling, started acting and went from the bulky, kinda bloated, power lifting look at 265lbs to the more cut up look at 235lbs. This is pretty much where I like to stay, in the 225-230lb range. I hate that freaky-huge, steroid-induced look, the modern bodybuilders have resorted to these days.
This is a very intense workout, with very little rest between sets, 30 seconds. I promise, your clothes will be soaked with sweat when you finish this relatively short workout routine. I revised it to fit my own personal needs. Feel free to add or subtract what works best for you. Remember to keep moving.
Time: 15 min. cardio + 45 min. strength training = 1hr.
