12-Week Workout Routine Inspired by Greg Kovacs with PDF

Greg Kovacs Workout Routine

Greg Kovacs was one of the biggest bodybuilders ever to compete in IFBB competitions. Unfortunately, he couldn’t win prestigious titles like Mr Olmpia or Arnold Classic; still, many people search for his workout programs.

Being a professional bodybuilder, Greg may have followed multiple workout routines throughout his career, which is why it’s not possible to share them all or the exact one because they are rarely available on the web.

I’ve collected his workouts from numerous sources, including YouTube and Google, and made a workout a simple, easy-to-follow, and effective workout routine that can help you build strength, size, and aesthetic physique.

Pairing this workout routine with a healthy diet program will surely help you improve your shape over time.

Whether you’re a beginner or intermediate, explore this program, make some changes based on your needs, and follow it for a few months to see the results.

Workout Instructions

  • Warm up Your Body: You can use light cardio and weight training to elevate your body temperature and prepare your muscles before going heavy. For example, you can bench press with an empty bar or light weight before starting your chest training and leg extension or bodyweight squat before hammering your quads.
  • The number of sets and reps: Perform 2-4 sets per exercise. Perform a few reps when you lift heavy and higher reps when lifting moderate weights.
  • Stay hydrated: It’s important to keep yourself hydrated during the workout to enhance performance and avoid muscle cramps.

Note: I’ve collected his workout from multiple sources and designed a routine inspired by Greg Kovacs. Please note that this is not his actual training program because those are hardly available online or offline.
