The Build [Weeks 9–12]
With your increased muscular endurance and power created from the prior two collections, now it’s time to build.
These workouts are positioned as your final collection in the 12-week process because your body is primed to lift heavier than you might have thought possible.
Isolating the muscle you’re training each day allows you to realize your gains and find your peak strength for each independent
muscle group.
And then build upon it.
Day 1 -Chest
Day 2 -Back & Abs
Day 3 -Arms
Day 4 -Legs
Day 5 - Shoulders & Abs
Day 6 -Steady State Cardio 3

27:15when you do abs and when you're climbing stairs, those hip flexors have to work.

27:46crunch. Come on. I put a lot of abs in the program because I want you to learn how to use them.

28:02Come on. Here we go. Four. Change this knee to a kick. Knee height kick. Knee height. Heel out.
28:12Heel out. Now, the reason why I have you kicking low is sometimes even if you can kick high,
