3-Day Split Extreme Intensity
Weightlifting and Cardio Superset Workout


BEWARE: This workout program is extremely high intensity due to the combination of weightlifting and cardio supersets. Please modify rest periods as necessary.

Workout Details:

  • Goal of the Workout: Cut and fat loss
  • Number of Days: 3 day split
  • Reps: Unless otherwise indicated – do rep structure as 12 / 10 / 10 / 8 (4 sets per exercise unless otherwise stated).
  • Rest: 90 seconds in between weightlifting sets – 30 to 60 of those seconds do indicated cardio exercise.
  • Abs: Ab exercises will be integrated into day 2.
  • Level: Intermediate to Advanced – beginners can do it, but please modify intensity as necessary.
