Maybe you work 9-5 and have a family. Maybe you’re a college student involved in numerous activities. The point is, not everyone has 2 hours that they can spend in the gym every day. This is where you really have to get honest with yourself: Are you maximizing your time in the gym? Could you be working harder, and faster? Could you shorten up your rest time and get out of the gym 20 minutes earlier? All of these questions reiterate the importance of getting serious about your gym routine.
Take a couple of minutes on the treadmill, bike, or any other warm-up equipment to really get focused and pumped up for your workout. When you’re in the zone with no distractions, you’re able to really focus on your gym goals and maximize results. And that reminds us of another very important point: stay off your phone while you’re in the gym! Crank up your music. Don’t check text messages or social media between sets. This can prolong your workout and cause you to completely lose your focus, your drive, and your pump.
A FOOLPROOF WORKOUT SPLIT FOR MAXIMUM RESULTS
Really think about your lifestyle. Consider your work schedule, extracurricular activities, family, and daily routine. Are certain days busier than others? If you have an extremely long list of responsibilities every Wednesday, make that a rest day. That way, you don’t even have to consider skipping the gym. This will help ensure your workout routine remains a priority on the other days of the week. 3 days on, 1 day off split may be best for you. Others do well with 2 days on, 1 day off workout split. If your schedule is so busy you can barely make it to the gym, you just need to find a routine that works for you and stay consistent! Being honest with yourself and setting realistic goals is what will help you stay consistent and remain positive about your gym routine.
Besides your availability, you also need to think about your goals. Do your goals require more cardio than lifting? Does your ideal workout take 45 minutes or 90 minutes? Would it be easier for you to do your cardio or HIIT in the morning, and your lifting routine at night? Consider all of these possibilities when designing your split.
The final thing we want you to think about is your recovery time. If you have a fairly active job, where you spend a lot of time on your feet, you may require more rest than others. However, if you have a sedentary job or lifestyle outside of the gym, it may be a good idea to include an active rest day here and there. An active rest day could include:
- a short walk
- relaxing run
- slow-paced bike ride.
Active rest days are great to incorporate if you’re feeling particularly sore or tired. Moving your body – even at a slower pace – can produce endorphins and instantly make you feel better. Plus, you’ll be burning extra calories in the process.
BUILD A SUPPLEMENT STACK THAT WILL ENSURE RESULTS
So where do supplements play into all of this? Whether you’re trying to build muscle mass, cutting unwanted fat, trying to gain size and strength or gain endurance, we’ve got a workout supplement stack that will provide you with massive gains, stamina, and energy. Check out our combo packages. We pride ourselves on safe, legal steroids, effective bulking stacks, and fast-acting HGH. Dianabol and other steroids are a thing of the past – you no longer need them to achieve hardcore results.
Another thing to keep in mind is that pre-workout supplement cycling is extremely important. The idea of cycling off of your pre-workout can be terrifying to some, but just like living a healthy lifestyle, you often have to practice mind over matter. If you want to continue pumping iron and making gains, avoid becoming complacent or completely tolerant to your pre-workout, we recommend you do a 4-5 week cycle after you feel your pre-workout is becoming less effective. This will help cleanse the body and ensure your pre-workout remains effective for you in the future.

Gary David is the founder and CEO of CrazyMass, one of the nation’s leading supplement companies. Before starting CrazyMass in 2006, Gary was a bodybuilder and personal trainer for several gyms throughout Northwest Michigan, helping clients meet their fitness goals. Gary happily worked in this profession for over 15 years. He saw that most weight gaining products to increase muscle were made with ingredients that were dangerous or of poor quality. He knew there was a safer and healthier way to do this, so he created a special blend of herbs, amino acids, and nutrients to help bodybuilders slim down and gain muscle.
Although Gary no longer participates in bodybuilding competitions, he continues to be involved in the community, helping others prep for shows and attending events where he can advertise CrazyMass products. When Gary isn’t working long hours, he likes to spend his time working out at the gym, boating on Lake Michigan, traveling the trails around Northern Michigan by four-wheeler, and spending time with his family. He also loves to take a yearly trip to Europe with his wife and children.
