This week, for Week 7, it’s going to be a Medium Weights Smash. The goal is 4 Sets of 10-15 reps (Medium Weights) where you should be getting a tough burn at 10 reps and barely be able to make it to 15 reps. If 15 reps is easy then add heavier weights. If 10 reps are not possible then lighten the weight a bit. These Muscle Smashing Body Part Split workouts (Week 7) will smash the whole body so, again, be respectful of your Rest & Recovery day!
