Step 2 Daily Workout Step 3 Post Workout Stretch & Foam Roll 7 “ Get up every morning and tell yourself I can do this! 8 Training ▸ ▸ ▸ This workout plan is structured around 5 days of workouts and two days rest. Rest is very essential. As our muscles recovery this is where growth occurs. Feel free to adjust this plan based on your own schedule. For maximum results try to not miss days. If you are a new to training, you may be sore. Its ok to miss a day if your muscles are too fatigued. Use these tips to help with soreness are drink plenty of water, stretch, foam roll and get plenty of rest. You can also take an Epson salt bath and use a handheld massage gun. 9 Training ▸ Rest period in between sets is very important as we want to keep our heart rates pumping. Rest time should not exceed 60 seconds. Keep a timer so that you can keep rack of your rest period. 10 Videos You will be provided with video demonstrations of each exercise to peform daily. Please study the videos and practice proper form prior to starting this guide. Place your screenshot here 11 Video Guidance • • • • This is a gym based guide but these exercises can be performed at home depending on the equipment that you have. Free weights/dumbbells can be found instore, online or Amazon. Weights and equipment shown in the videos are for recording purposed only. Please modify weights to what is available for you. For instance, if the video demonstrates a straight bar this can be swapt out for dumbbells or kettle bells. Some gym machines workouts are included in this guide. For weeks 1-4 keep track of the wieghts that you are using as you will want to progress in weight over the weeks. You will determine what weight is suitable to your goals and personal strength. 12 Video Guidance • • • • • • Please select a challenging weight, everyone's level of fitness is different and therefore will have different strengths and capabilities. The goal is to feel fatigued by closer to the end of the rep count. If you can perform each exercise easily to the end of the reps, this means you need to increase your weight. Reduce your weight if you are failing to get to the half point of reps. For example, if the exercise calls for 15 reps you should feel fatigued by rep 10 but push through to 15. There will be a video link for each day of videos. When an exercise calls for Superset, this means the two exercises are perfomed back-to-back with no rest. There is no more than 1 min rest inbetween sets. Tri-set is all three exercises perfromed back-to-back with no rest. 13 Stretching Stretching prior to your workout is very important. Stretching keeps the muscles flexible, strong and healthy. Stretching allows more range of motion and will improve overall performance. Without stretching, your muscles can become very tight which can affect your workouts and cause possible injuries. I recommend stretching before and after every workout. Specifically, stretching the muscle groups that you will be working. Below is a video link for stretch guidance https://youtu.be/SOmOCfhKwIw Glute Isolation Your glutes are the largest muscle in your entire body. Activating your glutes before every lower body day is important. This will wake up your glutes and warm them up making it easier to grown them. During this guide you must have resistance bands as this has been the foundation of my glute development. Here is a link to my bands below.

I’m proud of all the hard work and dedication that you put into completing this guide and commiting to a healthy lifestyle! 38 Progress Pictures Please take full length pictures from the front, side and back with a clear blank background. Infront of a blank wall is always best. Take your pictures with the same poses, lighting and if possible, in undergarments/shorts and sports bra that show full results. For side and back poses its best to hold hands out at a distance. I recommend progress pictures over relying on the scale as they show true results and the scale can be discouraging. 39 Social Media Share your progress pics & vide os by hashtagging # love lyle shgains on instagram and tag me !
