Wall Sits…………………………………………………….. to Failure 2 sets
Note – For the last 10 reps of each set of calf raises, hold the contraction at the top of the rep for 2-3
seconds, while the last rep is held for 5-10 seconds. The Calf has a lot of slow twitch muscle, so it
responds better to extended periods of contraction. Keep tension on the calves throughout the entirety
of each set
Note – When maxing on Squats, as with deadlifts, increases of up to 25 pounds between 1 rep sets is ok
once you’re handling weights over 80% of your previous max, just be reasonable with your weight
increases, and pick a weight you think you can handle

Week 3
Week 4
Note – Make sure you have proper arch on bench press, and you are tucking your elbows on the
eccentric (downward ) phase of the lift– flared elbows on bench put too much stress on the rotator cuff,
and reduce activation of the lower pecs and lats.
Note- On push press, make sure your squat (should be a ¼ squat) to initiate the press is explosive
Note- On push days feel free to get all of your bicep and tricep work in.

a stance as is comfortable
Hope this helps bud, feel free to text me if you have any questions
the program is meant to be run twice (2, 4 week cycles) with a week in between the 2 four week cycles
to calculate your new maxes . For your accessory work pick weights that you are comfortable with, but
for your core lifts here is a starting point to calculate your numbers. It is important to note that these
percentages will be most accurate for your squat numbers, you might have to increase the weight for
deadlifts and especially bench press.
