Intermediate Gym Workout

Intermediate Gym Workout

This 3 day split workout is an excellent choice for intermediate lifters wanting to gain muscle and gain strength. The workout has three lifting days a week: a push workout, a pull workout, and a legs workout. This workout plan relies heavily on big compound lifts for maximum workout efficiency. The pull workout hits lats, biceps, and traps, the push workout hits chest, triceps, and shoulders, and the third workout is all legs. This workout plan is also appropriate for advanced lifters as well.  If you cannot yet do 3 pullups with good form then this workout is not optimal for you and you should do the Beginning Gym Workout.  If you can do 8 pullups with good form then you should consider moving on to the Advanced Gym Workout or the Advanced Extreme Gym Workout.
