INSTRUCTIONS FOR PROGRAM The most important thing for this program is that you put in the effort and train insane. Obviously if you feel sick or injured in any way please to not go hard as it is very important to stay healthy. Bulking on this program is the best way to get the most out of it, as it is loaded with some decent volume so a caloric surplus will help you recover and grow faster. I will include a small section on how to bulk properly. Progressive overload should always try to be implemented when possible. Try to increase the weight you do each week, but it is okay if it is simple not possible. If you put in the work the results will still show. How hard should you train? Should you train to failure every set? NOT ALL WHO WANDER Personally I like to train hard every set, but that does not mean to failure every single set. My style of training is that my first couple sets of an exercise will be lighter as I focus on time under tension A R E L O S T and really contracting the muscle. Once I get to my second to last set and last set I will go heavier and faster and train to failure. Rest times should be between 30 to 120 seconds. No need to set a timer. The less rest you give yourself the harder it will be, challenge yourself. BULKING Like I said this program will yield the greatest results if you are in a caloric surplus and gaining weight, especially if you consider yourself to be on the skinnier side. If you think you eat a lot, but are not gaining weight you are simply not eating enough. All of us who have gained weight have learned this the hard way. If you eat 3000 calories a day and do not gain weight, you need to increase it to 3500. Download the app Myfitnesspal to get a rough estimate as to how many calories you should be eating. Dirty bulking is easy, and bulking off of healthy foods is hard, especially if you have a job or in school. My best advice is to eat as much healthy things that you like, but it is okay to drink that mass gainer shake if it helps you get your calories over the maintenance threshold. DO NOT only eat chips and soda all day. You will feel like crap, especially during your workouts. Start weighing yourself everyday, and make sure every week you are gaining some kind of weight even if minimal. Start waking up earlier, as it will help you get more meals in throughout the day. Start drinking lots of water with your meals. It will help you force down food, past the point when you are full. Also if you gain too much weight, and notice the fat gain is a little excessive, you can slow things down to prevent some fat gain. BULKING CONTINUED Bulking takes some serious dedication especially if you are naturally skinny. The key to seeing results is being super consistent. Eating 4000 calories one day and 2000 the next day is not going to work. Eat a lot, and do it EVERYDAY. Some of my favorite foods to eat/drink are milk, all kinds of meat, various rices, various pastas and lots of eggs and muffins. Find foods that you like that are moderately healthy and eat lots of it. Last thing that is very important!! Make sure you are getting an adequate amount of protein in your diet. Around 1 gram of protein per lb of your weight. If I weigh 220lbs, I would aim between 200240 grams of protein per day. WHAT TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING The amount of volume is designed for more intermediate/ advanced lifters. If that is not the case I highly recommend cutting out some exercises at least until you can handle the sheer volume. The workouts vary in time but should be around 90 minutes long. The program looks like it is only one week long but do not let that fool you. You will do the same workouts every week, in order to successfully overload in weight. I purposefully placed boxes so you could print this out and write in your weight. Too many times I see lifters switch up workouts too often, not allowing them to get stronger at certain lifts and hindering a real important rule that helps with muscle growth. The program is often ran for 8-12 weeks, but feel free to run it much longer if the gains continue. Hope you guys enjoy the program and stay safe.
