It is possible that you may of exercise program can cause injuries, and become injured doing the exercises in your program, especially if they are done with poor form.

PLEASE READ THIS ENTIRELY DB = Dumbbell SS = Superset The below example describes the sets and repetitions (reps) that you may see in the weekly program. 3 x 10 This means 3 sets of 10 reps. Perform 1 set of 10 reps. Rest 1 minute, perform another 10 reps, rest another minute and perform your last set of 10 reps. * Remember, use a weight that you reach failure with at the last rep, the last rep should be challenging. If you need more rest between sets then take it, always use proper form. * Always rest 45 seconds - 1 minute between sets unless stated “Burnout”. “Burnout” sets are the last sets and performed with no rest, the weight is decreased and the reps are much higher. Below is an example of a “Burnout set” For example: 1 x 15 1 x 10 1x8 1x6 1 x 20 (Burnout) After the set of 6 reps, you will have no rest, you immediately drop at least ½ of weight off and try to get 20 reps. Important: *Never do intense cardio before you lift (as a warm up is fine, but nothing more than a light 10 minutes) *As the # of reps decrease each set, slightly increase the weight you are using. *All reps should be performed to failure. For example 3 x 10 means the 9th rep should be challenging and the 10th rep should be very hard so that you can’t perform another rep. *Utilize the Links for over 100+ videos. Some exercises seen in the videos will be performed in the second and third phase i.e.; Functional movements will be added later in training. *If you cannot do 6 days just do as many as you can. Don’t skip leg day *if your time is limited your priority should always be training > abs > cardio *Men will be focused on chest + calves for the first 4 weeks; these muscles will be trained twice per week Disclaimer: With any exercise program you assume certain risks to your health and safety.

MEAL PLANNING & PORTIONS 55 The grocery list you just looked at provides you with a variety of protein, carb, and fat sources. It is a very good foundation to choose from with specific foods I have eaten over the years. You need to get creative, look around the supermarket and see what’s there. Incorporate a variety of proteins, carbs and fats in your diet. Purchasing food is just step 1. You then have to cook it, prepare it, which shouldn’t take more then a few hours for a few days worth of food. I suggest looking at your week ahead on paper and writing your work / school / life schedule down with time frames each day. Write down the time you wake up , the time you plan on going to bed, and the amount of food you’ll have to eat in that time. For example: You wake up at 7 am and go to bed at 10 pm You consume 2,320 calories daily (200 protein 200 carbs 80 fat) That’s an average of eating 464 calories every 3 hours. You need to be aware that by 10:30 am you should have eaten 928 calories. Even if you do intermittent fasting you need to be aware of how many hours have passed and what you need to eat. Utilize calorie counting apps, take the time to plan your meals and your days. Planning ahead and knowing your meals / macros will lead to greater results. 56 Start with Monday and write down the time your waking up, that should be meal #1 , then put your next meal time down for meal #2, and continue until you see a realistic series of times you can eat your meals with your life schedule. Every meal should have protein, carbs and fat. Its up to you if you want to eat less meals per day that are larger in portion , or more meals per day that are smaller in portion. At the end of the day the calorie intake from the food will be the same As the weeks go on you can try eating more carbs with some meals, and less with others. I suggest starting with protein at 1g per lb. of bodyweight and carbs no more than 2g per lb. of bodyweight. I recommend eating carbs and do not recommend low / zero carb diets. However, If you do decide to have a low carb diet please keep in mind you’ll need to increase your fat intake. A diet that is low in carbs and low in fat is not a good for anyone. Keep in mind, some people prefer a “snack” in the meal, and some prefer a snack before bed. It really depends on what works with you and what you will follow consistently. Snacks are still calories that contain protein , carbs and fats. So count them ! Plan your meals accordingly and utilize foods you like. 57 SECTION 8. CHEAT MEALS 58 Cheat meals should be a minimum of every 2 weeks. I encourage cheat meals at the end of every week after you’ve earned it. Cheat meals require self control and the ability to not over do it. If you don’t have self control hopefully this process teaches you self control. If you’ve made progress with your fat loss then you should be rewarding yourself with a cheat meal. Stick to high carb foods, avoid greasy deep fried foods like fried Oreos / funnel cakes (crazy fair food lol) . These will cause massive stomach indigestion. Also avoid too much dairy. Eating a pint of Ben and Jerrys will not have a pleasant out come. A good rule to follow would be replacing one meal with a cheat meal. Some examples of a cheat meal for me: -a burrito from chipotle with 5 oz. yogurt land froyo -3 sushi rolls with 4 Oreo cookies -Steak with potato and butter -Triple burger with bun, no cheese and handful of sweet potato fries -Stack of pancakes with western omelet -French toast with omelet 59 SECTION 9.
