About

Gym Workout Programs

Features
Read full description

This workout plan will help you drastically improve your physique and fitness levels. This workout plan helps you build functional strength and muscle size in just 30 days. We like to call this the accelerated beginner’s guide to bodybuilding. In this plan, your first 30 days of training will be demanding and progressive in the sense that each week you’ll graduate to different exercises, higher volume, more intensity or all of the above. After four weeks you’ll not only be ready for the next challenge but you’ll have built a significant amount of quality muscle. This program isn’t just for the true beginner who has never touched a weight before; it’s also suitable for anyone who has taken an extended leave of absence from training.
