How to execute each workout in the program?
-Each session starts with a proper warm-up -Recommend 40-50 very deep inhalations through the nose in order to over oxygenate the body and wake up nervous system -Do a quick full body dynamic stretch and mobility routine. It shouldn’t take more than 5-7 min -Never attempt heavy weight lifting without prior warmup -Start each exercise with relatively light weight and gradually increase it set after set -Focus on perfect posture and exercise form -Keep a relatively neutral spine in all movements, keep the core muscles tight, chest tall and shoulders back! -Always use a full range of motion
How long are the workouts?
-Each workout should last no longer than 45-50 min including a warmup and cool-down time -45 mins is more than enough time to adequately stimulate growth and trigger the right amount of anabolic hormones while avoiding producing too much of catabolic hormones -Always keep these concepts in mind: less is more. Intensity, quality , efficiency 👍🏻 , but no need to over do things in terms of volume. (At least when it comes to training with heavy weights)
What do you need to complete this program?
-You need a gym membership that has standard workout equipment
Understanding my “active rest days”?
-”Active rest days” mean that you may do some type of HIIT cardio like sprints, battle ropes, perform an abs routine or just play sports you love -Be active in general but don’t touch weights

Weak workout, needs more to it, I ended up adding additional chest exercises afterwards. Additionally, exercise two is labeled inc bench DB flyes, but the video is clearly inc bench press
