Fabodylous Workout Program #1: Turn Up the Volume

Share
In this workout program, we aim to use old-school volume training to thoroughly stimulate our muscle fibres. Rep ranges are also varied from six to fifteen to ensure stimulation of all types of muscle fibres (slow-twitch and fast-twitch). Lastly, compound and isolation exercises are mixed for a balance between mass building and muscle-specific training. So if you're ready, let's turn up the volume and train!
