Program Description

Found this program as I’m trying to build the habit of going to the gym but I want to spend the least time there while hitting everything… Based off this reddit post, slightly tweaked with exercises I’m more used to and ab work on both A and B in splits: https://www.reddit.com/r/Fitness/comments/oh75rz/request_for_picking_db_only_routine_frankomans_vs/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button The post is based off an original program by bodybuilding.com but none of the links ever worked for me so I based it off OP’s description. Cardio done on off days of choice! Why sackboy? Because he deserves SOMETHING in his name after what sony did to him.
