Notes

1) AMRAP: As Many Reps As Possible


2) In every exercise you have to apply progressive overload, that means that your
performance goes up with time. It can be through multiple things (One or more at a
time). For example:
a) increase in reps
b) Increase in Load (Adding Weight)
c) Doing a Harder variation (Modifying leverages)
d) Better rep quality
e) Lower rep tempo
f) Adding Pauses
g) Doing movements in an unilateral fashion (putting more weight on each individual
side)
h) Adding Plyometrics (Like going from pushups to clapping pushups)

3) When an exercise is presented like this:


[Exercise X]

It means you have to do it in a Prisoner style/Down Workouts.


For example, you have:
[Squats]

-You pick a number of reps you can do that will take you close to failure (RPE 6-7). In this case
let`s go with 30 reps.

-You will do the 30 reps, then rest 30-60 seconds and then do another set, but this time you
will do 29 reps, then rest again, and the next one you will do 28 reps and so on until you reach
1 rep.
-Over time you have to either:
a) Decrease the amount of rest between sets
b) Increase the starting rep number
c) Do a harder exercise
d) Add stuff in a backpack to increase load

Credits to AlphaDestiny for this method.

4) When a couple of exercises are paired like this:

(Exercise X → Exercise Y)

It means you have to do AMRAP in Exercise X, then without rest do the same thing with
Exercise Y.

To progress you have to increase:


a) Reps in EX and/or EY
b) Load in EX and/or EY
c) Do a harder variation of EX and/or EY
5) A curl grip means that instead of griping the bar the regular way you wrap your fingers
around the bar as much as you can, the tip of your fingers should be pointing towards
your wrist.
6) The “Stimulus Days” should are optional, meaning you only perform them if you are
recovered enough.
7) It is recommended you add 1-3 sets of warm-ups before the first set/supersets
8) Rest in-between sets should be until you feel you are able to perform similar numbers
compared to the previous set. As a general recommendation:

- 3-5 for single compound sets, 4-8 for supersets


- 1-3 for single isolation movements sets, 2-4 for supersets
- 30-60 secs for Prisoner Style “sets” and for Rest Pauses

9) Rest days can be located wherever you think is necessary as long as it follows the
workout split parameters. In this case, you can rest or do a stimulus day

10) Be patient and make sure to have good sleep and nutrition to maximize muscle gain.
