Workout Routine

SnakeSuns

by SnakeP

Bench and shoulders focused nSuns routines along with full accessory days.

Additional accessory routine days are recommended between the core M/W/F days. 30 minutes cardio to end each routine is also recommended.

It should take roughly 60-90 minutes in the gym.

Starting TM is 90% of 1RM.
