What’s so special about this workout routine for

men?
There are plenty of workout routines out there for men, so what is it about these
routines that are so special? Well, they are tailormade to each unique individual,
rather than covering a broad demographic.
Basically, each routine is engineered towards an individual’s ability levels
and fitness levels in the gym.
It wouldn’t be much use having a very fit and healthy bodybuilder, with many years
of training under his belt, following a workout routine for men that is aimed at
complete beginners. He will already know what he is doing and will find the routine
far too easy. On the flipside, if he is looking for a new and challenging workout
routine, he can follow the advanced program and will enjoy great results.
With that in mind, here are the three routines to try the next time you’re in the gym
depending on your unique level of fitness:
