My “666″ Exercise Routine
If you want to get in shape fast, then you might want to try my 666 routine. I call it the 666 routine for a couple of reasons; the first is that you train at 6:00am, and 6:00pm, 6 days a week, the second reason is because it is hell! Doing “two-a-days” 6 days a week will get you into great shape in as little time as 6 weeks, but be warned, it is not easy.
I follow the 666 routine whenever I feel the need to get into top shape or when I want to jump start my fitness training. Therefore, I usually do this routine in the Spring after a long winter of heavy lifting. The 666 routine helps me increase my cardiovascular fitness, increase muscle tone, and reduce body fat levels.
Here are the specifics of my 666 routine. I awaken at 5:30 and drink a cup of coffee in order to prepare for the gym. You can also drink water or juice if you prefer. Therefore, I perform my morning training session on an empty stomach. I arrive at the gym at 6:00 and perform my aerobic exercise activity that may include, stationary bike, stairmaster, rowing machine, or elliptical stepper. I vary the exercises in order to avoid boredom and stagnation. The key to this session is to get your heart rate at 80% of maximum (which depends upon your age and weight) for a period of 20 minutes. I start slowly and have a period of around 5 minutes warm up and a period of 5 minutes cool down, so the aerobic exercise takes 30 minutes. I then perform my abdominal routine of upper and lower abs which takes around 15 minutes. I perform my ab routine with slight variations at both the morning and evening sessions so that I am training my abs twice a day 6 days a week.
I arrive at the gym for my evening session at 6:00 and perform my weightlifting movements. The specific routine depends upon my specific goals. For example, I often follow my push-pull 6 day routine. Specifically, I perform all push movements on Day 1, pull movements on Day 2, and leg movements on Day 3. I then repeat; so that Day 4 is push, Day 5 is pull, and Day 6 is legs. I then rest on day 7.
Once upon a time, in land far far away, I prepared for a bodybuilding contest using this routine with the exception that instead of utilizing the push-pull routine I used my “upper body one day – legs the next” routine. In this routine I train my entire upper body all in one day and do all legs the next day so that I am training upper body and legs 3 times each per week. It would take me around 4 hours to train my entire upper body and around 3 hours to train my legs. Abdominals were trained every day. This routine is very taxing and can only be maintained for a short period of time. Moreover, this routine is for creating lean muscle and you will be unable to sustain your strength or your athletic performance levels for more than a couple of weeks. Therefore, I recommend that you only attempt to perform either of these 666 routines for a period of 6 weeks or less.
This 666 routine is very taxing on your body so care must be taken in order to avoid injury. After all, if you get injured all of the benefits of this advanced training regimen will be lost. In order to avoid injury you must have very good nutrition and sleeping behaviors already in place. You simply cannot reap the benefits of this routine if you are neglecting either your nutrition or your sleep and you will be much more likely to develop a serious injury or a nagging ailmentif you are not eating and sleeping properly. Also, please use these 666 training regimens only if you already enjoy a heightened level of physical fitness.
