Welcome to 60 Day Revolution!

Return to Main Page

Upper Body Day

There are a wide variety of sets and reps used for each phase of the 60 Day Revolution. On Upper Body Day, there are different set and rep schemes for each triset. Refer to the chart below during each week of the program. All sets and reps are expressed as sets x reps. For instance, on Week 1 (Intro) on Triset # 1, you’ll do 3 x 10, or 3 sets of 10 reps. In Week 8 (Shock) on the same triset, you’ll do 7-10 sets of one rep. Use the heaviest weights you can manage with good form during all weeks, except for Week 7; this is a DELOAD and meant as a break before you hit Week 8, the SHOCK phase where you’ll use the heaviest possible weights that you can lift. 

Important Note: As the reps pyramid down, go up in weight.

Lower Body Day

Refer to the chart below during each week of the program. All sets and reps are expressed as sets x reps. Use the heaviest weights you can manage with good form during all weeks, except for Week 7; this is a deload and meant as a break before you hit Week 8, the shock phase where you’ll use the heaviest possible weights that you can lift. 

Important Note: As the reps pyramid down, go up in weight.

Conditioning Day

On each conditioning day, PICK ONE OPTION: indoor sprint; outdoor sprint; or rowing machine, and use the rep guidelines provided for that week. Perform one conditioning day per week. If you have a lot of fat to lose, bump it up to two conditioning days per week. Note that Week 7 conditioning is 30 minutes of steady-state cardio at moderate intensity. There is no conditioning workout in Week 8, though you can perform Week 7’s steady-state cardio session if desired.

    Each workout consists of three trisets. Don’t rest between exercises within the triset, and rest only 90-120 seconds at the end of each triset. In each category, choose one exercise for each workout day and stick with it for that day; you can change it in subsequent workouts. Get creative with your combinations. For instance, don’t just triset the first move in each category: pullups, barbell bench, and hanging leg raises. Try combining pullups with alternating dumbbell bench, and V-ups, then shake up the rotation for something totally different the next week. The other major variable is the number of sets and reps done in each phase of the program.
