Body Beast Day 21

Hi everyone I am currently enjoying a rest day on Day 21 of the program, which signifies the end of the first phase, appropriately named the 'Build Phase'. This block is designed using different types of sets (giant sets, super sets, single sets etc) to primarily build strength, grouping muscle groups into 'Chest & Triceps', 'Legs', 'Back & Biceps' & 'Shoulders' workouts. From Day 1 to Day 21, you'd expect to progress by increasing the weight, while keeping good form. Part of this is through learning the exercises and perfecting form to make it easier to lift heavier, but partly because of strength gains. Naturally, more strength = more muscle when you're eating consistently at a calorie surplus, as I am. However, this section is NOT the phase where you'll pack on lb after lb of muscle. Here are some of the pictures we took during the workouts.

As I start the Bulk phase the workouts are grouped into 'Chest', 'Arms', 'Back', 'Legs' & 'Shoulders' and, unlike the Build phase, do not contain any cardio...and with workouts burning around an average of 10 cals/minute, additional calorie burns are simply not required. I will be updating my progress so keep posted and if your interested in my workouts simply fill out my free fitness assessment form and together we can choose a program that best fits you!
