GETTING STARTED INTRODUCTION & HOW IT WORKS DAYS Each phase of the program has workout days. Repeat the workout days without skipping a day. For example, in phase 1, after day 4, your next workout would be day 1 again. Do not skip around workout days. Rest days are up to you. I recommend working out 5 days a week and resting 2 days if you want a quick jump-start into the program. Minimum workout days would be 4 days per week. EXAMPLE OF A SCHEDULE FOR MON TUE WED THR FRI SAT SUN TIP Week 1 Week 2 Week 3 DAY 1 DAY 2 DAY 3 DAY 2 DAY 3 DAY 4 DAY 3 DAY 4 DAY 1 DAY 4 DAY 1 DAY 2 DAY 1 REST REST DAY 2 REST REST DAY 3 REST REST All you have to remember is what day you worked on last, this way it is easier to keep up with the routine instead of trying to match the workout days specifically with the days of the week. Week 4 DAY 4 DAY 1 DAY 2 DAY 3 DAY 4 REST REST REST DAYS FOR ALL 4 PHASES Take rest days according to how you feel. Minimum of 1 rest day a week is a must. Most will find the need to take more rest days during the first 2 weeks of training. Afterwards, your muscles will start to adapt to the workouts and will respond with less soreness. Getting 6-8 hours of sleep per night is a must for proper muscle recovery. You can still work your muscle if you feel a little soreness just as long as it doesn t feel painful. 2 WWW.SIXPACKSHORTCUTS.COM
GETTING STARTED DEFINITONS / EXPLANATIONS REST TIMES BETWEEN SETS Every phase has specific rest times. I encourage you to use a stopwatch to track the amount of rest between every set. This will ensure your heart rate stays elevated and that you have high intensity workouts every time to burn more body fat.to increase the intensity of your workouts, you can shorten the rest time between your sets OR increase your weight to further challenge yourself. SUPERSETS Supersets are 2 exercises performed back to back with no rest in between. They can be on opposing muscles. For example: back & chest; biceps & triceps; quads & hamstrings. Supersets can also be done doing 2 exercises back to back on the same muscle group. For example: Bench Press & Dumbbell Flys; Barbell Curls & Dumbbell Hammer Curls. TRISETS Same as a superset, except it s 3 exercises in a row nonstop instead of 2. AMOUNT OF WEIGHT TO USE Pick a weight that you can perform the repetition needed for that exercise. If you started the program, its always safer to start off a little lighter and pyramid your way up as the sets progress. Make sure when you establish a weight used for an exercise, make sure it is heavy enough where you have difficulty finishing the last rep of the set. TILL FAILURE This means do the maximum number of repetitions of an exercise until your muscles fail, or can t do anymore.
