INTRODUCTION AND WELCOME

INTRO
Welcome to the Total Transformation toolkit.

There are 2 programs in this series:

FULL BODY
LOWER + UPPER

Resistance training is not just about aesthetics; it


has numerous benefits for your overall well-being. It
helps you move better, develop bone strength,
manage weight, and even offset or manage
potential lifestyle diseases.

Building muscle is essential for a healthy life, and


the majority of people are not as strong as they
should be.
TRAINING PRINCIPLES FOR RESISTANCE TRAINING
Successful resistance training hinges on several principles:

PROPER FORM
This is crucial for
preventing injury
and effectively
targeting the right
muscles.

PROGRESSIVE OVERLOAD
Gradually increasing stress
on your body during exercise
by increasing the weight,
changing the tempo, or
increasing the volume

CONSISTENCY
Sticking to the same exercises for months at a
time allows your body to adapt and grow
stronger in response to specific movements.
Changing exercises too frequently can prevent
your body from adequately adapting, stalling
your progress

REST
Avoid training the same muscle
groups on consecutive days to
prevent overuse and give your
muscles time to grow.
HOW TO PROGRESS
It's important that we ensure progressive overload when
training.

To that end, I will have you working within a rep range for a
given weight.

For example, you might work within a range of 6-8 reps or 8-10
reps.

In the table below, we have an example of squats over a few


sessions.

Pay attention to the completed sets and reps. They


determining when to increase, stay or even decrease on a
weekly basis:

TIPS FOR MAXIMIZING RESISTANCE TRAINING
Your attitude and approach can make a significant impact on your results.

BE CONSISTENT
Showing up regularly matters more than any single workout.

PROGRESS OVER PERFECTION


Don't worry about the weights others are lifting. Focus on improving your own performance
over time.

RECOVERY IS KEY
Rest, nutrition, and sleep are just as important as your time in the gym.

A TYPICAL TRAINING SESSION


A successful training session requires planning and structure. Let's break it down:

1. WARM-UP (5-10 MINUTES)


Your warm-up prepares your body for the session ahead and helps to prevent injuries. It
should include:

CARDIO WARM-UP (5 MINUTES)


Start with light cardio on any machine of your choice (treadmill, stationary bike,
rowing machine, etc.). The aim is to gradually increase your heart rate and warm up
your muscles.

DYNAMIC WARM-UP
Follow up with some dynamic movements, which involves moving parts of your body
to gradually increase reach, speed of movement, or both. This could include
movements such as leg swings, arm circles, or torso twists.

WARM-UP SETS
Before you jump into your workout, perform a few sets of your planned exercise at a
lower weight. This helps to further warm up your muscles and prepare them for the
heavier lifting to come.

HOW TO PERFORM THE PROGRAM
objective
The full body split aims to stimulate all major muscle groups
in a single session, providing a balanced approach to muscle
growth and overall strength development.

frequency
Aim for 3 workouts a week. Since you're targeting the entire
body each time, it's important to ensure adequate recovery.
rest
It's essential to have at least one day of rest between sessions
to allow muscles to recover.

rule
Always alternate between Full Body A and Full Body B
workouts. This ensures variety in stimuli and prevents
plateaus.
