Well as you guys know, I'm pretty dead set on the methods of my training.. Here I am again, giving you a program for free that I tend to sell to others lol.. Well, that's all there is to it. Here ya go, fools.
MONDAY. HEAVY CHEST.
Chest days will be simple. You go heavy. It's intense. You don't rest until you feel ready. You get done with the set, rest the set ammount of time, and go. Tired or not, you go.
warmup: SUPER. Dip Machine Chest Press / Dip Machine Tricep Pushdown: 4x15-20 - 45 seconds rest.
*Place your hands at an upward angle and press. Contract as hard as you can at the bottom and let it come all the way up. Lean at an angle to get more ROM at the top and really stretch the pecs. Do 8 sets of 15-20 reps. The first 4 sets use the chest for most of the movement, the last 4 sets incorporate the triceps.
Incline DB Press: 1x15 warmup - 1x8 warmup - 2 sets of 8 - 2 sets of 6 - 90 seconds rest.
* the 2 sets of 8 should be hard to complete. Go up slightly and aim for 2 sets of 6. The goal is to fail on the last set of 6. Continue this until You're able to complete all sets. Then adjust weight and go up again, and repeat the next weeks.
Cable Press: 1x15 warmup - 2 sets of 8 - 2 sets of seconds rest.
* the 2 sets of 8 should be hard to complete. After that, drop the weight and immediately go into the first set of 12-15. Rest 45 seconds, and complete the other set. Angle hands upward and contract the inner chest. Not so much focused on the stretch, more so the contraction.
Incline BB Press: 1x15 warmup - 2 sets of 12 - 2 sets of 8 - 2 sets of 8 - 90 seconds rest.
* these are different. Go wider than normal, and focus on the stretch and the negative. I want the incline high and the barbell to almost touch the clavicle, stop an inch above the chest. Pause, then press. Do not lockout the arms, constant tension. Complete the first 2 sets of 12, then up the weight and aim for 8. If it gets too hard, drop the weight to aim for 8 on all sets.
Incline Cable Flyes: 6 sets of seconds rest.
* take a bench, angle it at a high incline. Be sure to use a weight that challenges you for all of the sets. Example: I'll use notch 3. Get 12, 11, 10, 9, 9, 8, 8. Keep the weight the same, easy enough to hit 12 at first, but hard enough to only be able to get 8 the last set.
Dip Machine Chest Press: Drop Set - 25 reps/drop 20 reps/drop 15 reps/drop 10 reps/drop
* repeat for 3 rounds and call it a day. 90 seconds rest between finished whole sets.
TUESDAY. BACK/ARMS/SHOULDERS
Again, today is quite simple. Heavy back, arm work, and shoulder work.
Warmup: SUPER: Machine Rear Delt Fly – Cable Rows – Lat Pulldowns – 2x15-20 – 45 seconds rest.
*Very light weight for the warmup. Just get the blood flowing and contract. Should not be hard.
Rack Pulls: 2 sets of 15 reps – 4 sets of 12 reps – 2 sets of 8 reps – 90 seconds rest.
*Warmup the first 2 sets. The sets of 4 should be hard but you shouldn’t fail. The last 2 sets of 8 should be very taxing, and you SHOULD fail the last set or possibly both sets. Same method of chest, continue doing this week by week until you complete all sets. Then adjust and move up/repeat.
Cable Rows: 1 set of 16. 6 sets of 8 reps – 60 seconds rest.
*The goal here is to warmup and contract hard. Slower negative and let it pull the shoulders forward. Then come back with a hard contraction of the lats then traps. Always hit 8. If you hit 7, rest for 10 seconds, and then get the last rep in.
Lat Pulldowns: 3 sets of 12 reps – 1 set of 25 reps – 45 seconds rest.
*The goal here is to stretch. Put the seat all the way down, each rep contract the bar hard to the clavicle, then slowly let the bar come up to where it feels like your lats are tearing. Pause for 1 mississippi.
SUPERSET. Bi Rope Curl / TriWide Grip Pushdown: 6 sets of 12-15 reps – 60 seconds rest.
*Let arms come halfway down on the rope curls very slowly, then contract hard at the top for 2 seconds. It should kill. Triceps, use a wider grip and really let the bar come back up to your nose creating tension and stretch. At the bottom contract the triceps hard for 2 seconds. You should fail the last set or two.
SUPERSET. Stiff Arm Lat Pulls / Bent Over Cable Rows: 4 sets of 12-15 reps – 60 seconds rest.
*Simple. Attach a wide grip to top pully. Slightly bend over, let the movement stretch the top of the lats like crazy, then keeping arms stiff bring bar down to hips and contract seratus and lats. The bent over rows are challenging. Take the bottom pully, attach an EZ bar or medium grip of choice. Slightly bend over, underhand grip, contract the lats first and then partially shrug and contract the traps as hard as possible for 2 seconds. Stretch the lats fully for 2 seconds on negative.
SUPERSET. Tri Overhead Extension / Bi Hammer Curl: 4 sets of 15-20 reps – 60 seconds rest.
*Attach a rope to the top pulley. Let the rope pull back hard to fully stretch the tricep, then angle up and outward for a 2 second contraction of the tricep. Hammer curls. Let arms come all the way down, keep a slight bend. Contract biceps at the top HARD for 2 seconds. Slowly lower back down.
TRISET. Pully Front Raises / DB Side Raises / Rear Delt DB Fly: 6 sets of 12-15 reps – 60 seconds rest.
*Attach a straight bar to the bottom pully. Front raise, 2 second contraction. Slow negative. Go to the DBs, bend slightly, bring them up and slightly in front, tilting hands down at top, lower them slowly to the middle of the quads. DB flyes, sit down and bend all the way over. Contract the rear delts hard as possible for 2 seconds. Light weight will be used. This tri set absolutely kills me.
