Joseph Baena\u2019s Five-Day Training Split<\/h3>\n

Baena broke down how he trains throughout the week including how he incorporates cardio, which he likes to keep simple:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • Monday: <\/strong>Push & Biceps, Cardio<\/li>\n
  • Tuesday: <\/strong>Pull & Triceps, Cardio<\/li>\n
  • Wednesday: <\/strong>Legs<\/li>\n
  • Thursday: <\/strong>Cardio<\/li>\n
  • Friday: <\/strong>Upper-Body, Cardio<\/li>\n
  • Saturday: <\/strong>Lower-Body, Cardio<\/li>\n
  • Sunday: <\/strong>Rest<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
    \n

    \u201cNo running. It was all steady-state cardio. Walking on the treadmill for 30 to 40 minutes. I know some guys do an hour, I think that\u2019s a bit much, especially if you\u2019re doing this naturally.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

    \n

    Joseph Baena has not taken any steroids during his process. He has committed to natural bodybuilding and this has led to different methods of training, including cardio. He does not run much or include high-intensity work. Instead, he has worked in different machines to help reach his goals.<\/p>\n

    \n

    \u201cSteady-state cardio on the treadmill or StairMaster. The StairMaster was a game changer and If I can\u2019t get to those, I\u2019m in Santa Monica so I\u2019ll just walk around the neighborhood or along the beach and get my steps in.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
