Days 1, 2 and 3 Merged into one Thread

Day 1

Day1

Back:

Machine Pull Down to the front
Key Tip: FEEL all muscles contract as if you are posing your back muscles, feel them contract.

take a 1 minute break Stretch after this exercise

1 Arm Dumbell Rows or Hammer Strength 1 arm rows
Key Tip: feel all muscles contract as if you are pulling the weight in, ESPECIALLY upper middle back feel it contract

take a 2 minutes break Stretch after this exercise

on this day the 1 arm rows ( I use hammer strength)
are the KEY to your thick huge back that will come in time
TREAT this exercise as your STAPLE and respect it, IT ALL ABOUT FORM and feeling that massive contraction (center upper back)

it alone will be the "squats" for your back and biceps, that is right BOTH back and Biceps.

Dumbbell Shrugs
Key Tip: This is all about the top of the movement, FEEL it squeeze.
Also do NOT go all the way down, just do the top 3/4th of the shrug movement as its all you need at this point. You already hit lower traps , and other assit muscle with the Rows and Pull downs.

Dumbbell standing side laterals. ( Peak Contraction as top nice and slow)
:) what do these on Back day???
YES these along with Shrugs were part of the foundation of the young man I trained and my shoulders.


Biceps:

Cambered Barbell Curls

Cambered Bar Reverse barbell Curls ( on this one just do 4 sets of 20 and dont go past 50 pounds)


do a quick 10-15 minutes of cardio after

Day2

Please Do The Leg Workout and then follow with the Ab Workout As posted in the "Black Swan" work.

No cardio Post workout on this day,

Day3

Chest:

Machine Flat Press ( all about Peak contraction, try to finish the movement with both pecs Squeezed as if your doing a pose on stage, it indeed may take you several workout to harness this technique, BE patient! with your self and your body)

take a 1 minutes break Stretch after this exercise

Low Incline Dumbbell Press ( this is the "squats" for both your chest and Deltoids, respect this movement and it will treat you VERY well)

take a 2 minutes break Stretch after this exercise

Cable Flys
Key Tip: do 3/4th range of motion and really feel the Chest as Much
as possible and when reps get difficult actually SLOW the pace to
feel it even more.

ONE Shoulder Exercise ONLY !!:)
but this is what will make you Shoulders
Powerful.

5 Sets of Smith machine Military Presses to the Front. Do these So
strict that you have no choice but to use the front and side delts.

You should be fried after this and energized

TRICEPS:

Press downs using a Straight Bar
take a 1-2 minutes break Stretch after this exercise

1 Arm Press downs (palm facing forward and down)


do a quick 10-15 minutes of cardio after


What Lifts do I keep Track of?
Legs:
Leg Presses , Squat

Calves:
Last series of Seated Calf Raises

Back:
1 Arm Rows

Traps:
Shrugs

Biceps:
Barbell Curls

Triceps:
Press downs

Chest:
Incline Presses

Shoulders:
Military Presses


those are the "Core" movements that are the only ones you need to keep track of......... EVER.

These Core LIFTS will Provide ME template or Framework to extrapolate from for the Tailor made Level 2,3 for YOU


this FIRST phase you only need to log 3 times a week!.
Also Each week try to improve your KEY lifts by doing a bit more weight each week!

So we shouldn't expect a diet or routine in our emails?


No I decided to put it all here.

Diet principles will come tonight some time here in the forum.

your programs will Diverge when you stay the whole 3 months

so the first 6 weeks you do the intro, and the second 6 weeks you diverge from others for your own "PEAK"
 
Re: Day 2 for all of you posted here:

Re: Day 2 for all of you posted here:

Omega, the cable flys should be the most common "crab pose" ones for the lower pecs correct?
 
Re: Day 2 for all of you posted here:

Yes the Crab

and actually when you slow down the pace you will feel not only the lower but also the upper chest

its a near perfect movement

good question

Same as all other sets and reps

On Form, bend over slightly as it will tie in to the traps, and other back muscles.

really feel the BURN these and with Shrugs as they will be key for insane Deltoids later.

you building the platform NOW
 
Re: Day 3 for all of you posted here:

uh I don't think we have this cambered barbell at my university GYM, definately no Ez-Curl barbell? what about dumb bells etc? any substitutes if I can't find this?
 
Re: Day 3 for all of you posted here:

also Hammer Strength 1 arm rows?

is this like where you sit in the seat and pull back on the levers with weighted plates, seated rows? same thing? yes no?
 
Re: Day 3 for all of you posted here:

Which is more preferable 1 arm DB rows or the Hammer strength machine?

Also, Cambered curls is just using the EZ curl bar for curls

whitedragon said:

cambered = EZ curl

hammer Strength 1 arm rows and 1 arm Dumbbell Rows are nearly identical in their mass building.
Cable rows will not substitute for them

you guys do this exercise right it will create Deep thickness over time, DO IT BY THE BOOK

if you do not have the EZ bar Substitute Dumbbells.

DONT use a straight bar is it will over time interfere with your wrist and development.

is it done one arm at a time eg: left lat first with your rep scheme and after you done the 5 sets you switch to the right lat and do the 5 sets

peace

Close grip or wide on the EZ bar?
 
Re: Day 2 for all of you posted here:

1 Arm Press downs with palms facing inwards and outwards as you said

omega how is this done , please explain or video thanks

peace
 
Re: Day 3 for all of you posted here:

So if we are using Dumbbells it would be the same as a regular curl but with palms facing the other way?

correct

Re: Day 3 for all of you posted here:

we have a machine that is a one arm row. I love how it feels when I pull back and squeeze my traps and back. is this ok to use?
 
Re: Day 3 for all of you posted here:

in time the 1 arm row (be it Dumbells or hammer strength)

will develop the back from lower lat/spinal erector all the way up to low traps and rear delt

generate intensity into contraction

Re: Day 2 for all of you posted here:

For some reason when i wrote down the chest routine I read it as decline. Not sure why maybe because i was at work and it was 6 am and the end of a long shift.
