guide
welcome
This is a 3 phase, 6 week training program.

Phase 1 begins with introduction and


acclamation to fundamental exercises that will
be progressed throughout the program. You’ll
see many movements that you know, as well
as some new ones that are some of my
favorites.

Phase 2 brings forth different methods &


variations to the routines, giving you an
opportunity to improve upon the first two
weeks, as well as learn new ways to hit your
lower body efficiently. Break times will be
strict, as we will be pushing towards better
metabolic conditioning during this period.
Look out for things like isometrics and
dropsets here.

Phase 3 is the Big Push, where we will be


combining things learned from Phase 1 and 2
to maximize performance and results. These
routines will be the hardest of the entire
program, as you’ve built up to it! Push yourself
past your limits as we finish this out!

How to optimize
your results

This Lower Body program was created to push


your limits with fundamental movements &
variations. You’ll be right with me throughout
the routines but remember that it is up to you
to get the most out of your workouts! Below I’ve
listed a few tips for both beginner & advanced
lifters to help you maximize your results!

Take your time with this program & focus on


getting acclimated with proper technique. Form
in your exercises can either make or break the
efficiency & intention of the exercise, so I can’t
stress this enough when I say form over
everything! I’ve included a video going over
technique of most of the common used
exercises throughout the program, please take
time to watch it.
Pay close attention to your warm up process, as
well as positioning throughout any movement.
If something looks foreign to you, watch my
demonstrations closely before beginning the
move. If you still feel unsure of a movement,
substitute it with something you know hits the
same muscles that feels safe to you.

Be mindful that resistance bands are meant to


help add intensity to your workouts, but using
too strong of a band will do you no good. Take a
look in the mirror while performing some of the
movements & check to see that you’re capable
of using the band you have on. In many of the
routines you’ll see me use a heavy resistance
band, but this doesn’t mean you must, too.

If you’re an advanced lifter that has the


movements down, don’t be afraid to use
heavier loading while in these routines! For
example, if you see we are performing 4 sets of
10 on an exercise that I’m using 20lb dumbbells
on, you are more than welcomed to use heavier
dumbbells if you have them and you’re able to!
Progressively push yourself & use what you
have!
