Hi guys,
I’m currently doing mostly bodyweight exercises because the gym are closed BUT I’ve just discovered on the internet Alexander Leonidas, and his program “Naturally Enhanced” (415 pages).
Well it’s interesting but very different from the traditional split routines, the guy advocates only 2 full body a week, one intensity day and one volume day, each of them followed on the next day by aka “mini workout” based on banded work, stretching, neck training and for those with great recovery capacities GPP.
Very close to what I think is good for.natty !?
Emphasis on the upper body,neck, traps, shoulders and arms.
I’ve been looking for reviews on internet but nothing, well I barely believe the guy is natural (1m65 / 80kg, moreover i ve read the article on the site...) but I think there is some good things to keep of is work (concurrent periodization, 2 full body a week, upper body emphasis…) what do you think ,
have you ever tried ? would you recommend / use it ?
below, 1 week routine example :
WEEK 1
Intensity Day
Overhead Press 1RM or 3x1@90%
