Training: BSP Style, Day III
Filed under: Training
Today I will wrap up my series on how I train. One thing I want you all to keep in mind is that this is merely one program. While I generally stick to the theme/template I laid out here, this is not how I always train.
This style of training fits in really well with my current goals and chaotic schedule. If I could train more I would, but right now this works well for me.
This last day is a Total Body/Upper Body day. I label as such because sometimes it is only an upper day, it really all depends on timing. Though I have stated that my Upper Body day is Monday and my Lower Body day is Wednesday, it certainly does not always work out as such.
There are many weeks when I have to fit my training in on a Tues, Fri, Sat schedule. Unfortunately I may not know this until Friday! So, I improvise.
If I am able to get in a rest day between my Lower Body session and my Total Body session, then I do Total Body. If not, then I do Upper Body. While this means that I will often only train my lower body once per week, for now I am ok with that. I hammered my lower half for years, and in all honesty I really don’t need it to get any bigger.
Friday – Total Body/Upper Body

Ben,
It depends on the day. I change it up a lot. I cycle through a bunch of exercises that I learned at CP over the years. Here is an example of a dynamic warmup for a Lower Body Day.
1. Supine Bridge 1×10
2. Piriformis Mobilizations 1×6-8/side
3. Split Stance Adductor Mobilizations 1×6-8/side
4. Wall Hip Flexor Mobilizations 1×8/side
5. No Money Drill 1×10-12
6. High Knee Walk to Forward Lunge 1×6/side
7. Walking Spiderman with Hip Lift and Overhead Reach 1×6/side
