Free Workout Plan #3

This intermediate workout plan is a three day plan. It is split into two workouts, Chest/Back/Shoulders and Legs/Arms. Perform the workouts every other day, alternating the workouts each time, with 2 days rest after the third workout of the week.

For example, if your first workout is Monday, then you should workout on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday, and Sunday would be rest days.

You should rest 60 to 75 seconds between sets and exercises, and perform each exercise with a 2-0-1 tempo (that is, 2 seconds down, no pause, 1 second up).
