Workout Description:
Our Get Jacked Muscle Building Workout is a 4 day workout routine that focuses on classic muscle building exercises. It consists of a heavy and a light upper body workout (Workout A and Workout C) as well as a heavy and a light lower body workout (Workout B and Workout D). 
Rather than dividing your workout routines and dedicating an entire day to an arm workout for example, we’re going to take a much broader approach. Don’t worry; you’ll still be building big arms.
Workout Routines A, B, C, and D
Do Workouts A, B, C, and D once per week on a non-rotating schedule but rest for at least 48 hours between each upper body workout (Workouts A and C) and each lower body workout (Workouts B and D).
Rest for a full 1½-2 minutes after each of the Weight Training Exercises whether it part of a straight set or superset. Exercises in a superset should be done one after another. For example, in Workout A, the first superset is the Bench Press Exercise and Seated Cable Row. You will do a set of 5 repetitions on Bench Press, then rest 1 ½-2 minutes, then do a set of 6-8 repetitions of Seated Cable Row, then rest and go back to bench. This will be repeated 4 more times for a total of 5 sets.

Notes
- Eat protein and carbohydrates both before and directly after each muscle building workout. A protein shake and a sports drink (not diet) or juice should suffice.
- Alter your muscle building workout as you see fit, but probably at least every 6 weeks. This is absolutely critical to your success. The more experienced you are, the more frequently you need to alter your strength training routine.
- Aside from a 5 minute warm-up, you will not be doing any cardio exercise on this workout program.
