Push Day

Push day is one the main days for males in the gym as they see it as a day where they can focus on their chest and upper body. (Shoulders, Biceps, Triceps etc.) When training for push I usually like to do it twice a week as your body gets used training your chest and usually you come out of the gym after push day with very little aches and pains compared to your pull or leg days. For anybody wanting to do push day it would smart to do 1 day on and two days off so this will lead you with starting on Monday for example and the next time training of the Thursday. Taking these two days off are important when training my gym routine as you are doing a lot but you need to give your body them days for recovery.

The following details that are going to be provided is my very own workout routine for push day and this will show how I warm up, what my tempo is and even the amount of sets and reps I do. All my workouts have four phases and I will now show you how they are spread out.
