Resistance training and aerobic work are the pillars of any complete fitness program – but
realistically, we don’t always have time to do it all in one session. I’ve experienced more of a
need at times to come into the gym and SIMPLY lift weights – and I’ve heard the same from
many others.
Splitting out the strength training allows you to save your conditioning for other times of
the day or separate days altogether. If I do aerobic work in the morning such as walking or
an Aerobic Power Session, then when I lift later in the day I often just want to get a PUMP
and don't feel up for a hard conditioning workout.
PUMP 40 provides a Functional Bodybuilding perspective on a SHORT SESSION that creates
a meaningful amount of training stress. Following these workouts in earnest for all 4 sessions
a week with great effort is sufficient to create change in almost every one of our clients.
More responsibility will fall on your shoulders to take care of your mobility and aerobic work.
We have resources for that within the Persist program or with our other Ebooks, but if you
prefer to navigate that on your own and simply want to LIFT then this is your place.
P R O G R A M
S T R U C T U R E
PUMP 40 is an 8-week progression containing 4 sessions per week – two upper body days,
and two lower body days. Each session takes roughly 40 minutes to complete.
Workout Format:
•
•
•
5–10mins – 2 Sets of PreFatigue – 2 exercises for blood flow, pump, and range of
motion
12–20mins – Intensity SuperSet – 2 exercises in a SuperSet format
9–12mins – Strength Balance Giant Set – 3 exercises for isolation and accessory work
There are NO warm-ups, conditioning pieces, or cool-downs. If you desire those elements of
our training then refer to the Persist full program, specifically the PUMP track to follow a
hypertrophy-focused style of training.
If you remain focused you will absolutely be able to complete the work in 40mins. If you like
to take your time transitioning between the different parts of training, or you want to do
some more warm-up and cool-down work for yourself, then anticipate this taking a bit
longer. Athletes who need to work up to heavier sets to push intensity may need a few extra
minutes as well to recover before the finishers (45–50 for the total session).

Combine with Persist:
Persist is a complete training program with 4 tracks, each with a different focus. PUMP 40 is
most similar to the Persist PUMP track. Keep in mind that both this program as well as the
tracks in Persist are progressive, and build from week to week. So for more consistent
results, it’s best to stick with one track for a training cycle or more – you can always use the
Short On Time notes within Persist, or eliminate the Functional Pump Conditioning piece.
However, if you love to mix and match, you can swap in workouts from PUMP 40 any time
you’d like a shorter session. Just aim for a balance of movement patterns so you don’t hit too
many similar upper body or lower body movements in a row.
If you are a Persist member and would like to switch to the PUMP 40 progression for an 8
week period of time, you can supplement these workouts with any additional warmups,
cool-downs, conditioning, or mobility work from the Persist program that complements the
movement patterns of the day.
How to Pair These Sessions With Conditioning
You can follow this program on its own, or add your own conditioning work separately.
PUMP 40 is a great way to add resistance training to your routine when you already walk,
run, bike, or play another sport.
You can also pair this program with the Cardio 30/30 workouts included with Persist, or with
the AEROBIC 40 Ebook, which was designed to complement this program.
The programs are flexible so you can experiment and find what feels best for your body and
routine.
A Few Sample Routines:
• AEROBIC 40 + PUMP 40 in the same session, in either order (will take around 80–90
minutes)
• AEROBIC 40 in the morning, PUMP 40 in the afternoon or evening
• 2 days PUMP 40, 1 day AEROBIC 40
How to Pair These Sessions With CrossFit
Fancy a pump after class? You can jump right into a PUMP 40 session and skip the pre-fatigue
sine you are already warmed up.
You can also use these sessions to supplement your CrossFit routine with muscle-building
hypertrophy work that won’t beat you up. A PUMP 40 session can also work before class or
on an off day during open gym. Just mind your overall volume and balance movement
patterns to avoid overuse.

If this is your first Functional Bodybuilding training program, welcome! You may be unfamiliar
with some of the workout notations or have questions, so here are a few tips:
• Reading Tempo – the Tempo notations such as 20X1 indicate the speed at which each
part of the lift is performed. This is important for building motor control and maintaining
high quality movement. Complete breakdown on how to read and use Tempo
• How to Load – tempo, rep ranges, and rest all impact the amount of weight you can use
while maintaining high quality reps. More on how to load
• Demo Videos – each movement is linked to a video demonstration on in standard pdf
viewers that will open to our YouTube channel.
• More questions? You can find assistance by using the chat bubble on our website at
functional-bodybuilding.com.

1. Standing Landmine Press; 20X0 Tempo x 12/arm

The intention with your Pre-Fatigue Pump is to use lower weight and higher reps to push
blood to the muscle tissue. In PUMP 40 this serves as your only prescribed warm-up. If you
require additional prep consider doing some easy cardio and range of motion work to get
started.

Loading for Weight Training
You may be used to working off percentages of your 1 Rep Max, or
having weights prescribed for different workouts. But the truth is that
we’re not robots, and 85% on one day will feel like 110% on the next.
Because the goal of Functional Bodybuilding is to prioritize
movement quality rather than making specific weights for
competition, we encourage you to become a Thinking Athlete and
develop a feel for how to load based on your movement quality each
day.

Nutrition Tip
If you’re short on time to train, you’re likely short on time
to prep and plan meals too. Simplify your nutrition by
focusing on eating 1 gram of protein per pound of
bodyweight. You don’t even have to weight ingredients
when you use the hand portion method – one palm size
of protein is roughly 20–30 grams.
