Alternate Workout A and B, training 3 times per week; then complete 20 minutes of high intensity sprints or other interval training (Workout C) one other day per week for a total of four workouts per week (e.g. Mon/Wed/Fri/Sat = A/B/A/C). Following this example, the following week would look like this: Mon/Wed/Fri/Sat = B/A/B/C. You would follow this type of example training program for 4-6 weeks and then switch to an alternative program for another 4-6 weeks. I recommend printing out or photocopying the example training programs and bringing them with you to the gym to follow along. Or, use your imagination and create your own similar training programs comprised mainly of the multi-joint exercises listed in this book. Remember that in all of these example programs, you should be using heavy enough weights that challenge you to complete the prescribed number of reps and sets. Try to get in the habit of finishing each workout with a 3-5 minute stretching session for all your major muscle groups. Stretching should always be done at the end of your workouts when your muscles are fully warm. Stretching before your workouts actually reduces muscular strength during weight training, so leave flexibility training for the end of your workouts.
Workout A
Functional warm-up (5-7 minutes):
2 minutes stationary bike (lubricates lower body joints)
Straight leg bridge with double leg curl on stability ball (1 x 10)

Breakdancers (1 x 10 each leg)
Main exercises:
1. Barbell Romanian deadlifts – 2 x 12-14
2. Barbell front squats – 2 x 12-14
3. Wide grip pronated lat pulldowns – 2 x 12-14
4. Walking lunges – up & back 10 steps for 2 sets
5. Barbell bench press – 2 x 12-14
6. Barbell bent over rows – 2 x 12-14
7. Two arm swings – 1 x 25
Ab training (appropriate level for you from section 3.5)
6-8 minute high intensity interval training finish
3-5 minutes stretching all muscle groups
Workout B
Functional warm-up (5-7 minutes, same as Workout A warm-up):
Main exercises:
1. Barbell back squats – 2 x 12-14
2. Overhead dumbbell presses – 2 x 12-14
3. Barbell standard deadlifts – 2 x 12-14
4. One arm dumbbell rows – 2 x 12-14 with each arm

8-10 minute high intensity interval training finish
3-5 minutes stretching all muscle groups
Workout C
20-25 minutes of wind sprints, bleacher running, hill running, or other high intensity interval training
3-5 minutes stretching all muscle groups
Example Training Program 2 (Beginner to Intermediate Levels):
Here is another very high intensity type of program that utilizes circuit training with very short rest periods to keep you moving and keep the intensity high. One of the major differences is that these circuits are free weight based and are guaranteed to be much more effective than the typical machine based circuits you see promoted at some clubs. Take only enough rest between exercises just to catch your breath. Alternate workouts A and B every other day for 3 workouts per week (e.g. M/W/F = A/B/A then B/A/B the following week). You can add a fourth day of some other form of training such as interval training, a spinning class, wind sprints, mountain biking, hill running, etc on any day of the week that you wish.
69

Example Training Program 3 (Intermediate to Advanced Levels):
Alternate Workout A and B, training 3 times per week; then complete 20 minutes of high intensity sprints or other interval training (Workout C) one other day per week for a total of four workouts per week (e.g. Mon/Wed/Fri/Sat = A/B/A/C). Following this example, the following week would look like this: Mon/Wed/Fri/Sat = B/A/B/C. Also, you’ll notice that the sets and reps are denoted in three separate stages such as 4 x 5, 5 x 5, 6 x 5. This is an advanced progression. This means that you complete 4 sets of 5 reps with a specific weight the first time you complete workout A. Then, the next time you complete workout A,
you’ll complete 5 sets of 5 reps with the same weight. The next time workout A comes along, you’ll then complete 6 sets of 5 reps with the same weight, thus completing the cycle. Now, the next time you complete workout A, you increase the weight by 5-10 lbs and drop back to 4 sets of 5 reps. This is a great way to increase the volume of work you complete, cycle the intensity of your workouts, and make great progressions over time. It is much easier to make progressions by increasing your training volume via sets, rather than trying to increase the weight or reps each workout. Some of the exercises in this routine are grouped in “supersets”, meaning that you complete the first exercise, take a brief rest, then complete the second exercise. This is one superset. Rest about 60-90 seconds before starting the second superset.
Workout A
Functional warm-up (5-7 minutes):
2 minutes stationary bike (lubricates lower body joints)
Straight leg bridge with double leg curl on stability ball (1 x 10)
Straight leg bridge with single leg curl on stability ball (1 x 6 with each leg)
Opposite raise from four-point or push-up position (1 x 5 from each side)
Medicine ball or cable lateral chopping on stability ball (1 x 6 with each side)
Reverse back/hip extensions on stability ball (1 x 8)
Mountain climbers or mountain jumpers (1 x 10 each leg)
Breakdancers (1 x 10 each leg)

Modded cars
hi.Basically car represents the owner's image, car is not only a transpotation usage but its an style comment on urself, modifying car is xtremly cool thing to try out with ur skills. the layout, interior, paintjobs, bodykits, ther's lot of uncredible stuff dat can be done with our car, only a creative mind is needed.But sum poeple like me are addicted to the cars modification and all.We luv speed, acceleration, Nos, engine upgrade, exhaust, etc. AHHH-mann it xcites me only a mod &speed junky can understand my emotions towards car.hehehe...!.and the new trends on the streets is, everybody mod their cars to represents there hoods and compete on street same like dance competition. but dis one is more xciting because custom cars have the big boom boom audio fitted in der cars which are addicted to bass, and the dancers can shake der booty on da beats which almost shake der heads.....paintjobs are the most important part of the car which can make alot of difference in the layout of the car and interiors shud match in order to be the paparazzi favourite, wheels are the metal strings which ride with your car tyres but in reality the rims make the car roll 'u know wat i mean'. the guyz which puch their cars to mext level lots of lots congrats to u and happy for ur all creativity ....
