Week 12 is going to be Heavy Weights all Barbell training! Your Goal is 5 Sets of 5-10 reps each exercise! You should be getting a tough burn at 5 reps and barely be able to make it to 10 reps. If 10 reps is easy then add heavier weights. If 5 reps are not at all possible then lighten the weight a bit. Goal this week is to use Barbells to Blast the Total Body three times!

Week 12 - (Warm-up before each workout w/10 min walk, do 1 set of Bodyweight Squats & Bodyweight Pushups until burn then stretch the muscles you plan to hit (Total Body)!)
Each Workout – 5 Sets of Heavy Weights for 5-10 reps (rest up to 60 seconds in between Sets “if needed”)
