Since last year when I first started Occam’s Protocol I have been performing my A and B\u00a0workouts\u00a0with mostly machine weights<\/a>. Just this month, in an attempt to mix things up a bit, I \u00a0started adding more free weights.<\/p>\n To be honest, I was a bit intimidated at first, especially when I referenced the Occam’s Protocol chapter and saw that picture of Tim doing the Yates Row… Just looking at it made my back hurt.<\/p>\n But, after a bit of review and practice in the gym I realized it is not all that intimidating. In combination with machine weights you can really tailor your Occam\u2019s routine to keep things fresh and exciting at the gym.<\/p>\n Here is a breakdown of the entire protocol with accompanying video demonstrations of each workout. \u00a0I have included a review of the “Occam’s Essentials” at the end of this post.<\/p>\n [box title=”WORKOUT A: FREE WEIGHT OPTION” color=”#92ace8″] Free weights can be used if you prefer them, or if you travel often and need standardized equipment that is the same around the world:<\/p>\n1.
