Recommendations

The warm-up for each workout consist of 10-12 reps of 50% of your 1RM, a set of 6-8 reps with 75% of your max and some nice stretching of all the muscles involved between warm-up and work sets. Breaks between working sets/tri sets/giant sets are 2/3/5 minutes.

  1. Great workout schedule. It would be great if you could present some diet recipes for vegan people to build muscle.
