In this split, the whole body is worked over a period of four days: Day 1 - Chest/Back. Day 2 - Thighs/Hamstrings. Day 3 - Shoulders/Calves. Day 4 - Biceps/Triceps/Abs. Training Notes. Because this workout splits the body over four days, you can do more sets for each muscle group.
Breathe in, and tense the first muscle group (hard but not to the point of pain or cramping) for 4 to 10 seconds. Breathe out, and suddenly and completely relax the muscle group (do not relax it gradually). Relax for 10 to 20 seconds before you work on the next muscle group. Notice the difference between how the muscles feel when they are tense and how they feel when they are relaxed. When you are finished with all of the muscle groups, count backward from 5 to 1 to bring your focus back to the present.
