Training Protocol

  • "Breathing" exercises should be done with light weight
  • Do half squats with as much weight as possible
  • Reduce weight by 20 lbs before the bench press to the neck
  • Use this routine for at least two months (and as long as it gets results) before going on to a more advanced split routine
