Increase the weight or intensity slightly while maintaining good form. Increase the number of sets for each exercise to 5, and aim for 4-6 reps in the compound movements.
Week 3: Intensity and Variation
Introduce variations and increase intensity. For example, consider using different grips or stances for exercises like pull-ups, squats, and deadlifts to challenge your muscles differently.
Week 4: Power and Peak Performance
Focus on powerlifting and explosive movements to maximize strength gains. Reduce the number of sets to 3-4 and aim for 2-4 reps in compound exercises.
General Guidelines:
- Perform a 5-10 minute warm-up before each workout, including light cardio and dynamic stretching.
- Maintain proper form and technique; prioritize good form over lifting heavier weights.
- Rest for 2-3 minutes between sets and exercises for compound movements.
Remember to maintain proper nutrition, stay hydrated, and get adequate rest for recovery.
