Scott Jameson Routine - One of my Favorites by Scott Jameson
Many of you have requested to greater specificity of workouts, so I have decided to post mine. If you done the math you know I am 55 years young and cranking out workouts that are tough. I preach it….so I work like a dog when I am in the gym. I want the gains. I will not settle for mediocrity.
My training partner is 20 years old and I humbly say I lead the intensity. His comment to me after a Friday leg routine last week went something like this.
Scott: “What are you doing the weekend?”
Partner: “I don’t know yet but whatever it is I’m doing from a wheelchair”
Needless to say we had a great leg routine.

Sunday- I rest like the good book says
My workouts are very intense with little rest (about 30-60 seconds between sets). Try it and enjoy…because sweat eventually turns to muscle.
