I just read the book 'Bigger,Leaner, Stronger: The Simple Science of Building the Ultimate Male Body by Michael Matthews. This the the workout plan he recommends no matter if you are bulking or cutting (which I am). I am used to doing more sets and higher reps than this. I have been working out for years but have not followed a plan like this one really. What is everyone's thoughts on this workout plan. My nutrition and diet are spot on right now so I think I will see results from most plans but I like that this is short and heavy. You basically do this plan along with 4 days of cardio and then substitute some of the workout every few months. Most of these are compound lifts.
