How it Works

Like The College Muscle Gym Workout, this workout is designed for body recomposition, so you gain muscle while losing fat. But if you’re too busy to make the trek to the campus gym, you can do this alternate routine anywhere, from your dorm room to the quad—the only equipment you’ll need is a pullup bar, pipe, or tree limb. By performing a total body workout at a quick pace and alternating muscle groups, you’ll be making the most of time, allowing you to get back to campus life as soon as possible.

Directions

Train three non-consecutive days per week. For example, Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. Perform exercises marked “A” and “B” in alternating fashion. So you’ll do one set of A, rest, then one set of B, and repeat until all the prescribed sets for the pair are complete. Perform the remaining exercises as straight sets. All you’ll need is a little space and somewhere to do a pullup, and you’ll be set to show the Freshman 15 who’s boss.
