Week #30 is a bridge week…designed to allow your muscles & nervous system a chance to fully recover and get ready for what’s coming next week.
The workout listed below is for those trainees interested in adding muscle to their physiques and who are not exhausted from the past few weeks of workouts.
If that isn’t you, skip these workouts and go do a yoga or pilates class or do a week of cardio.
Nothing too strenuous and hopefully something you enjoy doing.
