Phase 7
Phase 7
PLEASE READ THIS!! IMPORTANT INFORMATION YOU NEED TO COMPLETE YOUR WORKOUTS
1. TEMPO
In some Workouts you are given the Tempo at which to perform your exercise. This is shown as 4 digits. Note the 4th digit is redundant. By example:
1140 ( Bench Press: 1 second lifting the weight, 1 split second at the top, then a 4 second controlled movement down)
2120 ( Bicep Curls: 2 seconds up, split second at the top, then 2 seconds down)Give 100% every time and be the hardest working person in your gym.
IF A SUPERSET HAS THE SAME EXERCISE FOR BOTH PARTS OF THE SUPERSET AND A TEMPO SPECIFICATION YOU MUST DROP THE WEIGHT BETWEEN THE FIRST AND SECOND PART OF
EACH SUPERSET
3. ONE ARM OR ONE LEG EXERCISES - the Reps stated are for EACH arm or leg.
4. WORKING TO FAILURE
a) For Cutting: Aim to hit failure for the number of reps stated in the program for each working set. Estimating this comes with practice and knowing your own limits.
b) For Bulking:
- Aim to HIT FAILURE for the number of reps stated FOR MUSCLE BUILDING EXERCISES (higher reps, lighter weights) for each working set. Estimating this comes with practice and
knowing your own limits.
- Aim FOR 1-2 REPS FROM FAILURE for the number of reps stated FOR STRENGTH BUILDING EXERCISES (heavier weights, lower reps) for each working set.
5. WARMING UP
Always warm up as shown in each program – use a lightweight and do about 10-12 reps but never to failure – it is just about getting your muscles warm and blood running through
them.
6. FORM
Keep “Safe” form at all times – it does not have to be strict form and it is OK to lose some form to lift heavier – but always be safe, and keep the fundamental shape - no swinging
weights, and avoid the temptation to use your whole body to lift as it defeats the object of working specific muscles and will likely result in injury.
7. WEIGHTS TO USE
Recommended weights to use are not included as it will vary for everyone.
As you go through the plan getting stronger the weights you lift will increase but the number of reps stays the same.
If you hit failure before the number of reps stated, just use “Rest Pause” (put the weight down, rest for 5-15 seconds and then try again to complete the reps, always with safe
form).
Rest 60-90 secs between Sets and 2-3 minutes between Exercises.
