Is mostly cardio, to get you prepared for Mass. This is no lie, the 1st week: after, I finish the 5-day workout, on that Saturday, I put on my pajamas๐ and it fell down ๐. I had to buy new pajamas๐
When I completed the 2nd week, I noticed that I did not have any pain in my back & sciatica. I'm like where is my pain ๐ค,ย the workouts helped my pain go away. Iย do not that excruciating pain anymore.
I was able to add more reps & more band weights. Thighs got slimmer. My glutes is getting stronger, my glutes are not flat no more. I'm ableย to put on my "jean's"๐ easily without it stopping at the thighs & squeezing in my stomach.
๐ฎ Pilates Ball: Helps to take pressure off your "back & neck", when doing "core" excerises. Helps with posture & stability
๐ฎ Stability/Swiss Ball:ย Takes the pressure off your lower body: especially when you have lower back & scatica injuries. Good for lower & upper body exercises.
๐ฎ Pilates Bar: Its kind of like a modify barbell. Instead of using free weights, you connect resistance bands to it. Also good for lower body to.
My experience w/ the Mass Program ๐๏ธโโ๏ธ

1) Mat
2) Dumbells

(IV)ย Results
(A)ย You "can" get results in "4 weeks," it depends on:
1) How many sets you do
2) How much weight you use
3) How much you rest b/t sets
4) Completing the entire workout w/o skipping excerises
5) How many days you workout
6) Also, nutritional food is key
โญ Take Notes ๐
1) Make sure you read the "summary" of how to proceed each workout that day for Mass. Do not skip it, it will help you how to do the workout.
โโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโ
(B) If you cannot do certain excerises in the program, just modify it, that work the same muscle groups.
๐ต Example: If you cannot squat, do:
1) Clamshells
2) Bridges
3) Hip trust
Add bands for resistance
