Tuesday - Legs & Glutes:

• Squats or 5x8 with moderate weight
• Superset leg curls with leg extensions 3x8 (make sure you get full range of motion) - watch the weight stack, when it gets close to the bottom, lift it back up
• Lunges with barbell 2x8 (total of 32 reps, remember you have to do both legs) or you can do front squats instead
• Leg press machine 3x8
• Calf raises (seated or standing (smith machine)) 10x10

Every Day - Abdominals, Obliques, and Serratus

You can't over-train your abs. Pick 3-6 of these exercises and do as many as you can or have time for.

• Crunches (legs can be up or down same for arms)
• Reverse crunches- on an incline bench (you can do less reps with these) works lower abs
• Side bends either standing or on an inclined bench usually holding a weight
• Sit up with a twist to each side
• Hanging crunch

You want abs? Eat leaner. Abs are made in the kitchen not in the gym. White meat chicken and fish, boiled, grilled, pan seared in olive oil eat with green veggies like broccoli or spinach. Try to eat every 2 hours- 6 small meals per day about 400-450 calories per meal. Drink water at least 8 16.9 ounce bottles per day if you are working out. Possibly only 6 if you are not working out.

Lastly, on average you want 16 sets per muscle group to be considered moderate volume of training.
