Huge in a Hurry: Get Big!

Posted by on Aug 28, 2009 in Huge in a Hurry | 0 comments

So I have completed the “get used to my routine” part of the Huge in a Hurry book and have begun with the first real set of routines. The plan is called “Get Big” and once again involves full body workouts but increases us from 3 exercise to 4. The actual exercises change as well. The exercises take a bit of getting used to, and keeping track of all of those reps can be very difficult so I have been using an app on my iPhone called Gym Buddy and is great for tracking exercises, reps, sets, rest time, gains, and tons more stuff. The best part about this app is the fact that you can create your own routines and put notes in them about how many reps you are supposed to do. You can also set 3 different rest timers which works great for the routines in the book. If you haven’t checked out this book yet follow the link on the right to amazon to get a good look at it.
