The most effective way to build muscle mass is to carry out an exercise until failure, usually 8-12 reps, forcing your body to improve and build muscle so soon you don’t fail.

Ways to do this include: Increase number exercises per workout - Increase number of setslimb movements (pistol squats, one arm push ups, muscle ups) Progress to plyometrics or single - Increase time under tension of each exercise (ie, do the movement slower) - Increase number of exercises per workout - Progress to plyometrics or single limb movements (pistol squats, one arm 6 Benefits of HIIT Training 1 ups, muscle ups) stays elevated and continues to burn calories for hours a#er the A#erpush a workout the metabolism workout as your body replaces energy and repairs muscle proteins damaged during exercise. 2 As well as metabolising fat for fuel during the workout, during the recovery period a#er HIIT the body will tap into fat stores for the energy required to restore it to its resting state. 3 Short intervals of extremely high intensity exercise involve a lot of muscle mass requiring a large amount of oxygen. Your body burns around 5 calories per litre of oxygen consumed. 4 HIIT produces a large amount of metabolic waste. This furthermore trains your body to tolerate and quickly recover from periods of high-intensity exercise. 5 HIIT has a number of physiological benefits, such as improved oxidative capacity of muscle, increase mitochondrial density, improved stroke volume and enhanced aerobic efficiency. 6 The post HIIT recovery process produces elevated levels of: human growth hormone, testosterone and insulin like growth factor-1 to repair damaged muscle proteins. Leading to an increase in muscle volume and definition. 4 NUTRITION So where does nutrition come in? Building ‘muscle proteins’ requires a variety of amino acids, some of these are obtained via food. When you exercise, the body needs more amino acids than usual to repair damaged muscle fibres, Strength training works synergistically with optimal caloric and protein intake to repair and build muscle protein, resulting in muscle hypertrophy. Protein Protein is said to be the most important macronutrient for growing muscle and loosing fat. Most studies indicated that a protein intake of 1.6-2.0 g/kg/day is sufficient to maximise muscle protein synthesis and optimise strength gains and hypertrophy. Most studies conclude that the time of day and amount of meals doesn’t matter as long as you reach the daily goal! Carbohydrates Carbs are important for fuelling your workouts and keeping your energy levels high. If you lack energy, you will not perform to your maximum ability in your weight li#ing session (therefore less gains). Fat Many people are scared of eating fat. However, fat is important in many ways including, maintaining hormone levels, performance reasons, taste and feeling satisfied with your meal. In terms of total calories, to get an EXACT number, it completely depends on your body, including: your metabolism, you body fat%, lean mass etc. however, you can use online calculators that will give you a general idea which will be close enough. Example Macros I weigh 54kg and I am eating in calorific surplus for muscle gain. This will not necessarily work for you and should only be used as a guide! Calories: 1850 Carbohydrates: 254g (55% of my intake) Protein: 93g (20% of my intake) Fat: 51g (25% of my intake) You can track your calorific intake by either writing it down in a diary or you can download an app for your phone. I recommend ‘MyFitnessPal’. 5 WARMING UP Most people in this day and age spend a lot of time sitting down (usually sat at a desk all day for work). This can result in your glutes becoming ‘underactive’ - less active than they should be. They can loose blood supply and neural input! This is where warming up and ‘glute activation’ comes in! Warming up your glutes is simply contracting your gluteus muscles prior to a workout to prepare them for a workout. Warming up is also important before any strenuous activity so that you don’t risk injury and can get the most out of your workout Glute activation exercises can be body weight or with a resistance band. Exercises include: Squats, Glute Bridges, Donkey Kickbacks, abduction. Try and do as many reps of these as you can until you feel your glutes firing up! STAYING MOTIVATED Everybody has times where they’d rather stay at home and watch the rest of a season on Netflix, it’s completely normal for the novelty of the gym to wear off when you aren’t seeing results as quickly as you’d imagined. However, this is what separates people who succeed their goals and people who don’t! If you start getting into the habit of thinking ‘i’ll just skip it today, I can go tomorrow’ it will become a never ending cycle (trust me, I know!) Don’t have a day off because you’re pushing your problems into tomorrow. If you’re going to have a day off, let it be because you’ve been working hard and consistently and you DESERVE a day off. These are my tips for staying motivated: 1 Listen to your favourite music while working out - working out will become your escape and ‘you time’ . 2 Understand the importance of exercise (past the superficial basis) - wanting to be healthy is just as important as wanting to look good! 3 Be a bit narcissistic! - you’re working hard and you deserve to check yourself out! Look in the mirror and be proud of your progress, even if its baby steps. 4 Get a friend to do it with you. 5 PROGRESS PICTURES - I’ve said it before and i’ll say it again ! It is the best feeling looking back at where you started. 6 WEEKLY OVERVIEW WEEK 1 WEEK 2 WEEK 3 Day 1 - Legs & Glutes Day 1 - Legs & Glutes Day 1 - Rest Day 2 - Rest Day 2 - Rest Day 2 - Legs & Glutes Day 3 - Abs & Upper Day 3 - Abs & Upper Day 3 - Full Body HIIT Day 4 - Full Body HIIT Day 4 - Full Body HIIT Day 4 - Abs & Upper Day 5 - Rest Day 5 - Rest Day 5 - Rest Day 6 - Legs & Glutes Day 6 - Legs & Glutes Day 6 - Legs & Glutes Day 7 - Upper & HIIT Day 7 - Upper & HIIT Day 7 - Upper & HIIT WEEK 4 WEEK 5 WEEK 6 Day 1 - Legs & Glutes Day 1 - Legs & Glutes Day 1 - Legs & Glutes Day 2 - Upper & HIIT Day 2 - Full Body HIIT Day 2 - Abs & Upper Day 3 - Rest Day 3 - Rest Day 3 - Rest Day 4 - Legs & Glutes Day 4 - Abs & Upper Day 4 - Legs & Glutes Day 5 - Abs & Upper Day 5 - Legs & Glutes Day 5 - Upper & HIIT Day 6 - Full Body HIIT Day 6 - Rest Day 6 - Legs & Glutes Day 7 - Rest Day 7 - Upper & HIIT Day 7 - Full Body HIIT WEEK 7 WEEK 8 Day 1 - Rest Day 1 - Legs & Glutes Day 2 - Legs & Glutes Day 2 - Abs & Upper Day 3 - Full Body HIIT Day 3 - Full Body HIIT Day 4 - Abs & Upper Day 4 - Rest Day 5 - Legs & Glutes Day 5 - Legs & Glutes Day 6 - Rest Day 6 - Upper & HIIT Day 7 - Upper & HIIT Day 7 - Legs & Glutes WEEK 1 WEEK 1 DAY 1 EXERCISE REPS SETS Squats w/ Kickback 20 reps X4 Step ups w/ Kickback 20 reps X4 15 reps X5 Hip Thrusts Glute Bridge w/ abduction 15 reps • can add a resistance band SUPERSET 12 reps of each Kickback 24 reps total = 1 set Abduction Sumo Squat Hold w/ Calf Raise Squat Sits X4 X4 • can add a resistance band 20 reps X4 Until Failure X4 REST REST 10 WEEK 1 DAY 3 EXERCISE Travelling Push Up SUPERSET Leg Drop Crunch Toe Reaches Pull Downs REPS SETS 15 reps (or as many as you can) 15 reps of each 30 reps total = 1 set 15 reps X4 X4 X4 • squeeze your back Crab Tricep Dips 10 reps X4 Rope Bicep Curls 12 reps X5 Back Bow Jacks 15 reps X4 15 reps on each arm Plank Rows 30 reps total • squeeze at the top X5 WORKOUT WEEK 1 OVERVIEW Full Body HIIT Jump Squats REPEAT 3X DAY 4 Complete each exercise for 35 seconds having a 25 second break in between exercises.
