Table description

Most of the training programs are based on the number of seven days of the week, the days of the week in this program are 5 days.

In this training program, you will train 4 consecutive days, then a rest day, repeat the process, and so on.

Training programs for beginners are concerned with training each muscle in the body individually, but in the mid-level bodybuilding exercises schedule, you will be charged with training three basic muscle groups.

The four days will be like this: 1- Pull-ups, 2- Abdominal and cardio exercises, 3- Push-ups, 4- Leg exercises.

The reason for planning the table in this way
Training each muscle group once every 4 days, which is more than the recommended limit for rest, as studies show that muscles need 2 to 3 days to recover.
Cardio exercises help in the process of building lean muscle without fat.
There is a separating day between pull-up exercises and leg exercises to avoid spinal injury due to pressure during two consecutive days.

The first day: pull-ups

Pull-up exercise notes

The back muscles will be trained with 3 compound exercises, high intensity, 4 sets of heavy weights, and 6 to 8 repetitions.
The muscles of the back shoulder and biceps will be worked out with a medium intensity of 3 sets and repetitions of 8 to 12 reps.
Traps will be trained at a lower intensity and more repetitions because the range of motion is very simple.

The first exercise targets the entire abdomen and is one of the most powerful abdominal exercises
The second exercise for the upper abdomen
The third exercise for the lower abdomen
The fourth exercise for the sides



Secondly, cardio exercises

Cardio exercises depend on your primary goal and your body fat percentage.

20 minutes at medium intensity if your body fat percentage is low and you want to maintain this percentage.
30 minutes at a high intensity if your body fat percentage is high and you want to get rid of fat.
If you are confused about cardio exercises, read this article “How to Design a Proper Cardio Program” to determine the appropriate activity and how to do it.

Cardio and abdominal exercises do not have to be at the same time unless your main goal is to burn fat. If the percentage of fat in your body is low, you can exercise the abdomen in the middle of the day, and perform cardio exercises two hours before bed.


Day three: push-ups

Push-ups notes

The chest muscles will be trained with 3 compound exercises, high intensity, 4 sets of heavy weights, and 6 to 8 repetitions.
The front and side shoulder muscles and triceps will be exercised with a medium intensity of 3 sets and repetitions of 8 to 12 reps.
