Not rocket science: Deadlift, Bench, and Squat
« on: Today at 09:03:33 AM »
If you can only work out twice a week and you want to add the most size and strength as quickly as possible, 5 sets each of deadlift, bench and squat, in that order, twice a week with at least 2 rest days between, and try to add to reps and poundages a little each session. 

That is the absolutely best routine, bar none.  Do this for 6 months before considering any changes.

joswift built a championship physique stretching rubber bands and eating a few sausages, so I doubt the validity of this.

I have been getting great results doing twice a week 20 minutes of light cardio and 20 minutes of machines (once upper body, once lower body)

Less is more

Should be mandatory for all young males over 15, surprised Russia and China not already requiring.

Throw in rows (or pullups) and overhead presses too.
