My name is Cody McBroom, Owner and Head Coach of Boom Boom Performance – the Lifestyle Based Fitness and Nutrition Online Coaching Platform and Media Company. This, Density, is the second ever-training program we’ve launched. Many of you have already purchased and ran through Functional Muscle, the very first training program we’ve launched. If that’s you, this is the perfect progression to keep your gains moving forward. And if you are not a Functional Muscle Trainee, this is still a perfect program for you – assuming you’re looking to build an impressive physique that not only looks well defined and athletic, but is actually powerful, strong, and dense too. I do not believe in being stuck in one single dogmatic approach. I do not believe you need to be tied down to training like a bodybuilder or a powerlifter. I do not believe you must-be a CrossFitter or an Olympic lifter in order to practice explosive movements. I believe that an optimal human being can and should perform in multiple modalities through their training journey. I also believe that’s actually how you achieve a dense physique (when I think dense, I imagine a profession athlete or a greek god – someone who has muscle and can show for it too). Now, that’s not to say there isn’t merit to periodizing to focus strictly or more so on one specific goal while just maintaining the others. There are times for that, but when we want to achieve an aesthetic body that is dense to touch, strong in the gym, and can perform like athlete on the field or court… There’s a specific way to plan your training, so that you’re optimizing things in sequence while never fully losing focus or abilities in the other modalities. This has been known for a long time and practiced by the top strength coaches in the industry. Which is why in this program there are the following 3 specific phases. www.boomboomperformance.com DENSITY: The Boom Boom Performance Power-Building Method 1. ACCUMULATION PHASE: This phase is 4 weeks long, split into 2 separate 2-week blocks. The focus here is very hypertrophy, mass building, focused. Each muscle will be hit twice a week, which is the minimum amount of frequency to optimize the anabolic growth signal. One thing to take note of here is that even though this may be the minimum frequency for maximizing growth – it’s also, in my opinion, the most optimal. This is because when we tap into 3 and 4 times a week per muscle group, it becomes hard to create a lot of volume per session and although that total weekly volume is the biggest key to muscle – there’s a lot to say about per session volume as well. This is how we optimize time under tension, metabolite fatigue (pump training), more tissue breakdown per stimulus, etc… So for that reason, during this phase we’ll be sticking to 2x a week per muscle group while focusing heavily on finding a mind muscle connection during each and every rep. The intensity is a bit lower than traditional strength development training, but the volume is a bit higher to cater to the hypertrophy focus in this specific phase. You’ll notice more pauses, negatives, specific tempos, super-sets, higher rep sets, and even some intensification methods within the sessions. This phase comes first because: • We want to build a solid foundation of muscle mass prior to the strengthbuilding phase. • This phase helps you spend time slowing down, to practice the skill behind the lifts. • You cannot master a lift until you can control the lift with your muscles. • You’ll be strengthening tendons and joints before moving into heavier loads. • It will help you build the mind muscle connection, which is HUGE for longevity in the gym. www.boomboomperformance.com DENSITY: The Boom Boom Performance Power-Building Method 2. INTENSIFICATION PHASE: This is the second phase, which is also 4 weeks long but this time split into a 3 week intensity progressing block and a 1-week deload block to follow. In this phase, you’ll notice that the frequency increases even more – this is because as the intensity drives up, meaning your loads increase, you will not be able to perform a single body part or half of the body for as long per session. You can only beat your upper body up with heavy weights for so long before we risk injury or sacrifice joint integrity! The main focus for you during this phase is to progress the weights used in the compound lifts every single week. This will be easy as there are specific percentages to use per set, taking away the guesswork on how much load should actually be used in each exercise. If you do not know your 1RM (1 Rep max), you will not be able to calculate how much weight to use – if that’s you, use this calculator to determine what that could be. It’s imperative that you keep a workout log, journal, or use the excel sheet that comes with this program. If you do not record your weights, we cannot guarantee that you will progress those weights! At the end of the 3 weeks, you’ll have progressed weight on your compound lifts significantly and hopefully the assistant exercises that follow as well. At this point, it’s been 7 full weeks of pushing hard… time to rest. This is where the deload week comes into play. During the deload week, you’ll simply be lowering the intensity on your compound lifts and I would highly suggest that you drop down 10-20% on all loads used for your assistant exercises as well. What this is going to do is give your nervous system a break. Heavy loads used during strength training will tax the nervous system, because strength and power development is such a neurological thing. But even hypertrophy work done in a high volume fashion can wear on the nervous system, too. And all of the above can take its toll on the hormonal system, joints, tendons, skeletal and muscular tissue, and even your mental well-being. Training is a stress! We cannot forget that and we need to understand that every stress needs it’s chance to fully adapt, so we can elicit change and continue to bring on stress in the future without overloading our system. I’m explaining this so you do not skip the deload week, because I know there are trainers, gym rats, and hard headed meat heads out there reading this thinking, “Pfff… Deload?! Not for me, bro!” It is for you, if you want the best results. Science proves it and elite coaches use it, so trust the program – follow the deload. You’ll thank me when the next phase comes around. www.boomboomperformance.com DENSITY: The Boom Boom Performance Power-Building Method 3. PEAK PHASE (REALIZATION): This is the phase where we put the peddle to the floor and test what you’re made of! Or, more like, test what you’ve built during the last 8 weeks. See, muscle is great and all… but what’s the point if you can’t use it to be strong and powerful? Add to that, I’ve seen some really impressive physiques that came to me because they were stuck and the reason they were stuck, was because they we’re prioritizing getting stronger. So we tested, built strength, and retested. What happened? Well, they got stronger. Duh. But they also busted through a plateau and built more muscle. Strength is also the absolute best way to maintain muscle mass during a cut, so even if you’re someone on this program looking to lose fat – this is key for you as well. During this phase you will test all 4 compound lifts. Your bench, squat, deadlift, and overhead press. Each week, you’ll test 2 of these lifts and you will have 1 full week of zero testing between the first and second 2 compounds being tested. The reason for this is simple, if you did all 4 compounds back to back in one week… your nervous system would be fried and your numbers would suffer. We’re here for PR’s. Plain and simple. And because of that, it’s going to be most optimal to test 2 lifts, an upper and a lower body lift, back to back – then take about a full week before returning to the other 2 compound lift tests. All your assistant work will be movement and pump oriented, which serves the purpose of deloading the nervous system and joints while maintaining the anabolic signal to keep building and recovering. And remember, when you’re working up to your 1RM – you need to slow down! Do not rush your ramp up sets, take your time and focus on perfecting your technique so you’re truly ready for the lift. Safety is SO important here. An easy way to ramp up for a max squat or bench, would look as such: Bar x 15 -> 50% x 6-8 -> 60% x3- 4 -> 70% x 2-3 -> 75% x 2 -> 80% x1 -> 90-100% x1 www.boomboomperformance.com DENSITY: The Boom Boom Performance Power-Building Method SUPPLEMENTATION. Supplements are the last 10% when it comes to what gets results, if that. Because training, sleep, and nutrition are the 3 components that need to be your highest priorities. But because supplements still matter, I’m going to break down exactly what I’d recommend taking going into this training program. Vitamin-D – The higher percentage of almost all communities around the world are low in Vitamin-D, which is a vital vitamin/hormone needed in order to hormonally function optimally. I suggest 5,000 I.U.’s daily with a fat containing meal. Fish Oil – Just like Vitamin-D, most people are deficient or could at least use more omega-3 fatty acids. For that reason, we recommend supplementing with 2-3g of combined EPA/DHA daily in order to optimize joint, insulin, hormonal, and metabolic health. Creatine Monohydrate – Creatine monohydrate is one of the supplements that has truly stood the test of time, which makes it a cornerstone recommendation for anyone trying to build muscle, recovery faster, get stronger, and according to some newer studies even have better cognitive focus. Supplement with 5g daily. Caffeine – This is the original pre-workout and is the only ingredient inside any pre-workout supplement sold in your favorite nutrition store that actually provides stimulation to fire up your workouts. We suggest taking anywhere from 100mg to 300mg 30-60 minutes prior to training. Magnesium – A great nutrient when it comes to getting a full recovery, both neurologically and physically (muscular). The issue with magnesium is that we don’t get enough in our typical foods and the types you see on shelves often don’t give us what we want (just some serious toilet time). We suggest 200400mg of glycinate, malate, citrate, taurate, and threonate. Zinc – When deficient in Zinc, which can be common, a lot of pretty important hormones are increased and benefits begin to happen. Testosterone, IGF-1, Insulin Sensitivity, Cognition, Libido, Thyroid, and more can all improve when we supplement with Zinc (if deficient prior). When deficient, we recommend 25-45mg daily. www.boomboomperformance.com DENSITY: The Boom Boom Performance Power-Building Method NUTRITION. Nutrition is an extremely individualized process and I do not believe in templates or cookie cutter dietary approaches, which is why I’m only going to give a couple recommendations here. The first and most beneficial option, is applying for Nutrition Coaching. This is where a coach at Boom Boom Performance will completely individualize your specific macronutrient needs to ensure top-level performance, health, and adherence. This is what separates good results from great and coupling this Elite Level Training Program with an individualized dietary approach – leads to the highest level of results.

The last thing to cover before we start digging into the training content, where you’ll learn the exact system you’ll be following for the next 10 weeks, is the community we’ve built for anyone who is using one of our training systems. So, make sure you join The B.B.P. Private Facebook Forum before you go any further! This is where all the others using this exact program and/or Functional Muscle will be at, too. It’s also where you can ask me any and all questions you have regarding the program and your journey, to make sure you’re getting the best possible results. www.boomboomperformance.com DENSITY: The Boom Boom Performance Power-Building Method Last but definitely not least, THE WARM UP PROTOCOL. Before every single lift, you should be priming your body for success. But that doesn’t mean you need to become a yogi or spend 30 minutes doing mobility. I’m a huge proponent of a very simple, yet structured, warm up that you can bang out in 10 minutes or less WHILE priming your body to perform at it’s absolute best. Below is the exact warm up protocol I suggest to use for the entire 10-week training program. Complete this entire thing, one single round through, in this exact order.

What I mean by that, is that you could technically run it through again and again and again… This program has all the elements needed in order to build a powerful and aesthetic physique, but the real gold is in hard work and progressive overload. So if or when you restart at the beginning of this program for the second round through, realize that the real key is ensuring that you lift heavier loads than the first time through. To your body, this makes the program completely different. Because the truth is, our muscles are stupid – they do not realize that you’re repeating a movement again, they only understand that you’re using a specific set of muscles, pushing through a specific amount of resistance, and it needs to work, adapt, and build in order to continue being successful with this.
