PROGRAM OVERVIEW & NOTES
THE SPLIT :
As shown above, this split is to be ran 3 Days On, 1 Day Off, 2 Days On, 1 Day Off. You can
run this split inde nitely if you wish. There is no time frame on it, although I would
recommend that you stick with it for at least 16 weeks minimum.
WARMING UP :
It is crucial that you fully warm up before going into any working sets here. Warm Up &
Feeder Sets will not be listed in the program, but I highly advise that you implement these
leading into your working sets. Feeder Sets are typically in the rep range of 4-6 reps while
Warm Up Sets can be higher. The goal of utilizing these sets is to prime the muscle for the
working sets & heavier loads, not to fatigue yourself. How many Warm Up or Feeder Sets
you should implement will vary depending on the movement you are doing & how far into
the workout you are.
Example of what utilizing Warm Up and Feeder Sets may look like :
Squats / 1 top set of 8-10 reps / 1 back off set to failure (reduce load by about 15%)
135 lbs x 12-15 reps / 225 lbs x 4-6 reps / 315 lbs x 4-6 reps / 365 lbs x 4-6 reps /
405 lbs x 9 reps (1st working set) / 345 lbs x 11 reps (2nd working set)
REST TIMES :
fi
fi
fi
When it comes to rest times between working sets, I want you to take as much time as you
need in order to be able to effectively execute your next set with full effort. Depending on
the movement, this can potentially be anywhere from one to ve minutes. Right around 3
minutes is usually the sweet spot for most movements, but can de nitely be on the higher
end for movements that produce more fatigue such as squat variations or RDL’s. You don’t
ever want to go into a set panting, out of breath, & not able to give full effort. So take the
time that you need to be able to put everything into each set, but DO NOT BE EXCESSIVE
with your rest times, as this will just be counterproductive. At the end of the day you are
here to work. It’s not supposed to be easy.
TEMPO :
All movements should always be controlled throughout the entire range of motion. I want
you to have a 2-3 second controlled eccentric on ALL MOVEMENTS (unless noted
otherwise) and then being explosive with all out effort on the concentric. On the concentric I
want you to have the intention of moving the weight as fast as you can in a CONTROLLED
manner, while understanding that this doesn’t necessarily mean that the weight is actually
going to move fast.
EXECUTION :
FORM & EXECUTION COME FIRST. WEIGHT COMES SECOND. We want to prioritize
mastering execution & being able to maintain that same execution as we deal with heavier
loads. If you can not maintain the same tempo & execution once you increase weight, then
you are not ready to be using that weight for working sets. Remember, always EXECUTE
WITH INTENT. This is not about how much weight we can move from Point A to Point B. You
will always get more out of less weight with better control/execution than you ever will with
more weight & worse execution.
The sets listed in this program are ALL TRUE WORKING SETS TO ABSOLUTE FAILURE.
Meaning that you do not stop a set short if failure isn’t reached. For example, if it says “Max
set of 10-12 reps” & you end up not reaching failure by rep 12, then you keep the set going
until you fail. The goal is to be using weight that you will be reaching failure with in that
given rep range goal, but it doesn’t mean the set stops there if you end up being able to do
more. You’ll just know to go heavier the next time around.
I want you to push your limits here. I want you to understand what true failure is. When the
set starts to get hard, that’s when the set starts. Do not be afraid to fail. This is more of a
mental battle than most people ever realize, especially when it comes to training legs.
fi
Exercise selection is laid out in the program. For some movements there are multiple
options given. I want you to choose & stick with the exercises that best suit your needs &
that you get the best stimulus from. It is important to be consistent with a majority of the
movements that you do for a period of time so that you can continue to progressively
overload on them & improve, but it is also ne to alternate & switch between some
movement variations on weekly or biweekly basis as well, if you wish to do so. You can also
switch exercises out for other variations given after X amount of time of progressing on
them. For example, you could stick with Incline DB Press as your Incline Press Movement
for 16 weeks & then if you wanted to, you could switch over to a different Incline Press
Movement moving forward, such as Incline Smith Machine Press.
TRAINING CALVES :
Calves are included on both Day 2 & Day 5 at the end of the workout. IF CALVES ARE A
WEAK POINT that you want to prioritize, then I suggest moving those exercises to the
beginning of your training session & starting your workout with calves, rather than doing
them at the end.
When training calves, it is CRUCIAL to make sure that you are truly going through the full
range of motion, as with any exercise. But with calves speci cally, people rarely do this and
aren’t even aware of it. Typically because they tend to go much heavier than they really
should, as it is easy to load a ton of weight on a calf raise & just bounce the weight up.
You need to leave your ego at the door here. Start light, work your way up, EMPHASIZE
THE STRETCH. Do not bounce at all. Focus on getting a solid contraction & squeezing at
the top of every repetition.
KEY WORDS
AMRAP : As Many Reps As Possible
REST PAUSE SET : One total set consisting of 3 total attempts/rounds, with a 15
breath rest (approximately 30 seconds) in between each attempt. On a Rest Pause
Set, you are going to all out failure on the very rst attempt & every attempt
afterwards, while maintaining the same weight for all attempts.
Example :
135 lbs x 11 reps | 15 breath rest | 135 lbs x 5 reps | 15 breath rest | 135 lbs x 3 reps
FEEDER SET : Feeder sets can bridge the gap between your warm up & working
sets. They are typically anywhere from 4-6 reps. The purpose is to increase weight
on each feeder which primes your muscles to the load that will be placed on them
during your rst working set, without expending an excessive amount of energy.
They can also help prevent injury, & more often than not, utilizing feeders can also
help you realize that you may be able to do more weight than you initially thought.
PARTIAL REPS : Coming half way down or half way up, not full range of motion.
fi
fi
fi
fi
Usually implemented at the end of a set as an intensi er once total failure has been
reached & you can no longer complete any more reps with full range of motion.
I have included Abs as a separate workout here, as it is not programmed in any of the days
in the split. I suggest that you train abs at least 1-2x per week. But you can most de nitely
train them more often if you wish, up to every day can be completely ne. You can
incorporate this Ab Workout to the end of any of your training sessions, fasted in the
morning before you eat your rst meal, which works out great if you’re someone who does
fasted cardio regularly, or really any other time of the day is ne.
AB WORKOUT
1) HANGING LEG RAISE
Come to full controlled stop at the bottom here, fully stretching your core & expanding
your diaphragm. Don’t just drop your legs, control it, feel your core engaged throughout
the entire range of motion. As you come up, crunch in & fully contract your core. Keep
your knees slightly bent.
If you can not do these hanging, you can use Ab Straps or order some online. You can
also use one of those leg raise machines where you support yourself with your forearms
instead.
Sets 1-4 : 15-20 reps or AMRAP if you can not do that many.
2) WEIGHTED CRUNCH
Kneeling Cable Crunches or Ab Crunch Machine
Again, you want to be fully expanding & contracting your core here. Keep your butt in a
xed position, do not move it back in effort to help you complete a rep, you want your
core to be doing the work here.
Set 1 :
Work up to a max set of 15 reps
Sets 2-3 : Maintain load & do another 2 max sets to failure.
3) DECLINE SIT UP
Get into a decline bench, lie down with your back completely against the pad, fully
expanding your core. As you sit up, bring your elbows to your knees & crunch your core in
to fully contract your abs. Don’t sit too far forward at the top to the point where your core
is no longer under tension & you are resting.
Sets 1-3 : 3 max sets of AMRAP
fi
fi
fi
*You can also practice vacuums daily, which is another ab exercise in itself.

Set 2 : Reduce load by 15% & do another set to absolute failure.
3) LEG PRESS
Place feet as low as you can on the platform to create the most knee exion, allowing the
greatest range of motion for your quads. Depending on the leg press that you have
access to, playing with the seat adjustments may be necessary in order for you to get the
best form here.
Prioritize DEPTH here. Pull yourself down by holding onto the handles & keep your butt
down on the seat. You do not want your butt to start lifting up & start creating lumbar
exion here, putting pressure onto your spine.
Set 1 : Work up to a max set of 15 reps
Set 2 : Maintain same load & do a Rest Pause Set of 3 total attempts to absolute failure.
4) SEATED ADDUCTION MACHINE
2 second hold at fully stretched position / 2 second hold at peak contraction on every rep

Feel your entire quad engaged. Fully control the eccentric, ght the rep on the way down.
Brie y pause at the bottom of the rep while your quads are in the fully stretched position,
keeping tension on them, the weight should not be resting on the stack here. As you
explode up, make sure that you are ring the weight from your quads, not hips. Keep your
butt down on the seat & hold yourself down.
Set 1 : Work up to a max set of 12-15 reps

on every rep
Whether you are doing lying leg curls or standing single leg curls, keep your hips pushed
into the padding & focus on moving the weight through your hamstrings, don’t let your
hips start shooting back excessively in effort to get the weight up. If this happens you
most likely need to go lighter.

DAY 3 - BACK
1) UNILATERAL ROW VARIATION
High Cable Pull / Seated Cable Row / Any Machine Row with a Neutral or Supinated Grip
Depending on which movement you choose will dictate your exact set up but regardless
of that, the primary focus here is lats. Therefore, you want to be driving your elbow down
to your hip, not shrugging up & letting your upper back takeover. Keep your arm close &
adducted to your torso. At peak contraction, you can slightly crunch in (not excessively)
to assist in shortening your lat more. I want you to hold & emphasize the peak contraction
of every rep for a brief second. Imagine you’re trying to “stab the oor” with your elbow at
peak contraction of every rep.
Perform unilaterally (one side at a time). Take a short rest between performing each side
then take a full rest once you’ve done both sides, before doing the next set.
Set 1 :
Work up to max set of 10-12 reps each side
Set 2 :
Maintain load & do another set to all out failure.

Straight Bar or EZ Bar Attachment.
Full pause at the stretch / 1 second hold at peak contraction of every rep
Set 1 :
Work up to a max set of 10-12 reps

Incline T-Bar Row Machine / Incline DB Diverging Row (split elbows further apart as you
come up & contract) / Any Other Chest Supported Upper Back Focused Row Machine
Keep chest down, pressed against the pad. Do not lift yourself up & start involving your
lower back on the concentric in effort to get the weight up. You want to be driving the
weight through your upper back. Imagine squeezing a pencil between your shoulder
blades at peak contraction. If you haven’t mastered this movement yet then start lighter
here, make sure you have execution down here & can thoroughly feel your upper back
working throughout this movement rst & foremost before going heavier.
Hold the peak contraction & squeeze as hard as you can on every rep for 1 second.
Set 1 :
Work up to a max set of 8-10 reps
Set 2 :
Reduce load by 15-20% & do a Rest Pause Set of 3 total attempts to absolute
failure.
4) ASSISTED PULL UP MACHINE
On this machine, you’re going to start with less weight on the stack & increase on each
set. This means you will start with the least amount of assistance & as you increase
weight on each set, you’ll get more assistance. This will allow you to continue to get an
adequate amount of reps on each set.
Example :
Set 1 : 70 lbs x AMRAP | Set 2 : 80 lbs x AMRAP | Set 3 : 90 lbs x AMRAP.
Brief pause in the fully stretched position & brief hold at peak contraction on every rep.
Make sure you are getting a full contraction on every rep, there’s a reason why we are
utilizing the assisted machine here. Remember, execute with intent. 3 sets total.
Sets 1-3 : AMRAP
5) ROPE CABLE PULLOVER
Focus on driving your elbows down into your hips & getting a full stretch on the eccentric.
Keep your arms adducted & close to your torso. Keep elbows in locked xed position, you
are moving the weight with your lats here, not your triceps.
Emphasize squeezing your lats & hold the peak contraction on every rep for a brief
second.
Set 1 :
Work up to max set of 15 reps
Set 2 :
Maintain load & do a Rest Pause Set of 3 total attempts to absolute failure.
STRETCH BACK
fi
fi
Use a loaded weighted belt & dead hang from a pull up bar. Use a wide grip & sink into the
stretch. Make sure you continue to breathe & use a wide grip, if grip is too narrow, your
shoulders can come in & cut off airway.

unilaterally you’d like.
When doing these, allow your arms to come all the way down & stretch the delt at the
bottom.
Start lighter & increase weight on each set if you can. If you can’t hit 20-25 reps with the
lowest weight on the stack then just stay there & do AMRAP for all 3 sets.

delts on the concentric. Don’t let your traps take over on this movement, start light.
Sets 1-4 : 4 max sets of 12-15 reps
5) LATERAL RAISE SUPERSET
Here you’re going grab a set of dumbbells where you can reach failure around 15 reps
with perfect execution & full range of motion. Once complete failure is reached, you’re
going to grab a heavier set of dumbbells & do an additional 15 CONTROLLED partial reps.
It should be heavy enough that you can not move the weight past half way up while
maintaining strict form, but it shouldn’t be so heavy that you need to be swinging your
body just to perform a partial rep.
Example : 25 lbs x 17 reps, then 55 lbs x 15 partial reps
Sets 1-3 : 3 max sets of 15 reps (if you can get more then keep going until absolute
failure is reached), followed by 15 heavy partial reps.

10 reps, so - 10 reps, 10 sec hold, 10 reps, 10 sec hold, 10 reps, 10 sec hold.
Focus on squeezing as hard as you can on each hold. This will get extremely hard so
make sure that you start light.

Preacher Curl Machine or Cable Preacher Curls
When doing these, position your body so that your chest is facing outwards away from
the arm you are working. Make sure that your arm is fully pressed down into the pad &
you aren’t lifting your shoulder up. As you reach peak contraction at the top, try to slightly
lift your elbow up off of the pad while keeping your upper arm still pressed down, this will
allow you to shorten your bicep more & result in a greater peak contraction. Fully extend
your arm on the eccentric, allowing your bicep to get a full stretch.
Brie y pause in the fully stretched position / 2 second hold at peak contraction of every
rep. SQUEEZE.
