TRAINING TIPS - PHASE 2
Back
The straight-arm pulldown is the only exercise that truly replicates the biomechanical
movement of the lats (to pull your arms down and back). When done correctly, this move
provides the most direct stimulation of the lats. For that reason, you’re ending the workout
with 7 intense sets of straight-arm pulldowns with a rope.
Shoulders
Start the session off with 7 sets of seated side laterals. The goal is develop an intense
connection with your side delts. They will be so round and pumped that you’ll feel the side
delts work extra hard on each subsequent exercise.
Arms
This is grueling and you will need extreme focus to make it through— that’s why we limit this
phase to four weeks. Your bi’s and tri’s couldn’t sustain all this work in the long run— but in
the short term, it will get them growing!
Legs
Squats at the end? And 7 sets? Yes, you read that correctly. Your legs will be so tired by the
time you squat that you’ll have no choice but to go slow and squeeze. This will also force you
to only use the weight you can safely move, and not get into a powerlifter’s mind-set (as you
might if you squatted first).
Chest
Take everything you think you know about chest training and forget it for the next four weeks.
This workout won’t help you win a bench press contest, but it will make your chest grow.
Seven sets of dips to start opens and expands your chest from a new angle— and that means
new growth!
Abs
You’re getting into the second half of this program and you’ve likely slacked on abs a few times
in the past couple of weeks. Get back on it and you’ll quickly notice more strength on most of
your lifts. A strong core allows you to focus more on the movement and less on stabilization.
Calves
The reps are reduced from Phase I on the first two exercises, but now we’ve introduced FST-7
on the first and last exercises. You’re using your calves all day as you walk, so they need to be
shocked into growth
