Body Re-Engineering 3.0 Advanced Routine
Year 2
Training Split: Three day split rotated in the following manner:
Time Commitment: 3-6 days of weight training
3-Day Split:
Workout A: Chest/Back/Calves
Workout B: Shoulders/Arms
Workout C: Legs/Abs
Training Notes:
You can train Monday, Wednesday and Friday rotating between Workouts A, B and C.
If you miss a day for any reason simply pick up on the following day where you left off.
So for example, say that you cannot do your Wednesday session (and that day you were
going to do workout B) but you can train on Thursday. What you will do then is that on
Thursday you do Workout B and Friday – Workout C. If next week you cannot do
Monday but can do Tuesday, then you will do Workout A on Tuesday, Workout B
Wednesday and Workout C Friday. In this manner, the routine is super flexible.
If you rather workout 5-6 days a week, you can do that as well. Simply keep rotating the
workouts each week. So for example, Week 1 you will do workouts A, B, C, A, B from
Week 1. Then Week 2 you will do workouts C, A, B, C, A, etc.
Be sure to execute your repetitions to muscle failure. Muscle failure is the point during
the exercise at which it becomes impossible to perform another repetition in good form.
This point is reached due to the lack of oxygen reaching the working muscles and the
increased levels of lactic acid.
Choose a weight that allows you to reach failure at the prescribed repetition range. Keep
in mind that the weight selected is just a means to an end. The goal is to use the weight as
a tool in order to induce muscle tension and thus stimulate muscle growth. Because the
routines change exercise order and rest periods the weight you can perform on an
exercise will vary slightly from workout to workout. This is of no consequence as the
muscle confusion created by the workouts will ensure growth.

Only increase the weight on an exercise when you can easily go above the prescribed
amount of repetitions. So for example, if you perform 12 repetitions on the bench press
with 100-lbs and your routine calls for 10 repetitions then you can increase the weight
slightly.
Never sacrifice form in order to execute more repetitions or add weight to an exercise.
Again, remember that the weight is just a tool to induce muscle tension.
For Growth phases, if you are looking to maximize strength choose a rest period between
60-90 seconds. If you are looking to gain muscle as you lose fat and want to make the
workout more cardiovascular in nature, choose between 30-45 seconds of rest in between
sets.
Repetition Speed
Another variation that I like to introduce into my workouts is workout tempo (the speed at which
you perform the repetitions). For Loading Phases I typically do a more rhythmic pace while for
my Growth Phases I use a slower pace (around 3-4 seconds to lower the weight, 2 seconds to lift
the weight and perhaps a 1 second contraction). In this manner, I don’t need to increase the
weight as much due to the fact that I am increasing the time under tension.
By the way, slowing down the repetition speed and reducing the weight is a wonderful way to
recover from injuries or small nagging joint/tendon pains.
