But what about the weights, dammit? The Iron! The Sweat! The Tears! Rest times will now be shortened to 90 seconds between each set.
Not fully testing your cardiovascular strength quite yet, but still allowing you to burn a good amount of energy throughout your training sessions. Mobility will be performed for 10 - 15 minutes pre-workout. Lower body mobility for lower body days and upper body mobility for upper body days.
This is going to help incorporate higher amounts of energy consumption during your workouts as well as involving more muscle fibers due to the change in weight and reps in the same exercise.
Rest times are slightly shorter as well which will help with conditioning and cardiovascular strength. This is repeated for the allotted amount prescribed.
The goal here is to force the muscle to push through fatigue and recruit extra amounts of muscle fiber. Proceed until you are pressing just the bar. Make sure you have very little to no rest after each drop. Do this drop 3 times within the 3 sets. Do this drop 4 times within the 3 sets. Rest times: 30 seconds between sets. Once both exercises have been performed take your allotted rest time before beginning again. Do you know what that means? It means you made it, you finished the B. Dudes 12 Week Cutting Plan!
Hell no! Well, feel free to check out all our other great plans and continue to bring the buffness to a whole new level. It will also be a preventive measure for the DOMS delayed onset muscle soreness that can occur days after your workout. We would recommend to hold for a longer period of time on muscle groups that need extra attention. If you want to strictly focus on hamstrings, keep your lower back straight, but if you want to mix in a lower back stretch then round your back and bring your chest down to your legs.
This stretch can also be used as a mobility drill because of the benefits of a hip opener by externally rotating the leg while in position. It can also be used as an excellent way to relieve pain in the lower back by stretching the psoas. Keep an upright torso and gently try to get your outer thigh to touch the floor.
You can have your crossed over leg straight or bent, depending on what position you feel the tightest. Try to keep your upper back anchored to the floor as you rotate your trunk.
Slowly lean back and twist your hips toward your stretching leg to feel a more aggressive stretch. Keep your back leg straight and heel anchored to the floor as you lean forward. If you want to target a little bit more in the lats with your triceps, gently lean away from your stretching arm. Gently pull the upper arm close to your torso with your other arm to feel the maximum stretch. Take a deep breathe, as your chest expands tilt your torso upwards.
Try rotating your thumbs up to thumbs down to feel it in slightly different areas. As you have one arm behind your back and the other gently pulling on your head, make sure you keep your torso vertical. Do not lean. Gently push the hips back to feel a more aggressive stretch. Should I Cut? This really depends on your personal goals. Do you want to be lean? Then the answer is to cut. Do you want to be bigger? Then the answer is to bulk. Many people find themselves in that middle zone: not big, not lean.
Pick a goal and stick with it. It sounds simple - and it is - it just takes a little patience. You'll want to make sure that you adjust your nutrition, so that you're either at a caloric maintenance or in a slight calorie surplus. Can women do this That depends on your personal goals, program too?
Keep cutting. Stop cutting. Find out what works best for you! What do I do? Ah yes, the dreaded skinnyfat. Once you feel confident feel free to move onto the next phase and keep hitting those weights hard. With that in mind, this plan can potentially last much longer than just a 12 week period, perfect for those who would like to have a solid routine for quite some time!
Something good to keep in mind when beginning to work out is your only competition is yourself. These five compound exercises are definitely ones you want to have on your side. Most importantly - have fun! Hell yeah! The program starts off slow to give you an active rest period and acts as a refresher on a few staple exercises as it prepares your body for the more advanced phases.
What do I do once the plan is over? Do I start from the beginning or start from a certain phase? After you complete the program you should feel proud, excited and exhausted. When the body goes through an intense workout program it will need some time to rest and recuperate. We would recommend to start from phase 1 to slow things down a bit before increasing the intensity and volume again. If you find yourself getting sick of doing the same routine day in and day out you can always try using alternate exercises.
For instance, Kneeling Landmine Press as opposed to Incline Bench Press or trying a different variation of Deadlift as opposed to the standard one. Can I? Can I workout everyday? In the beginner phase and phase 1 plan on working out for one day and then take the following day off. For phase 2 you can either train straight through all four days and then take rest F. For the final phases we recommend training straight through all five to six days and then take the next one or two days off.
For isolation exercises our typical rest time is between seconds. For bigger compound exercises Squats, Deadlifts, Bench we typically rest between seconds. Our exercises which use the same reps per sets are typically isolation exercises and on these we stay with the same weight each set. For the ones which decrease in reps per set, we increase the weight with each set as we decrease the reps. Our workouts typically last about minutes which includes rest times.
Keep in mind the amount of extras you include in your workout is really going to stretch the time you spend in the gym. Also, waiting for equipment during rushhour typically pm is going to 91 F. This is a big reason why we typically workout very early in the morning if going to a commercial gym. How long will it exercises, what do I do? Our typical rule of thumb 92 It will vary from person to person but on average most people will experience soreness for one to three days after a workout.
What do I do on rest days? Feel free to work on mobility, stretching or throw in some cardio if that fits with your specific goals. How do I do cardio with this routine? If you plan on doing cardio we recommend performing it on your off days during prep phase and phase 1. For phases 2 through 4 you can perform cardio every other day, both on training days and days off for a total of three to four times a week.
Do I have to perform cardio on this plan? As we mentioned earlier in this book, no. We recommend you have a doctor consultation to examine your injury and take the required steps necessary to rehabilitate. Self-diagnosing or seeking advice online is not something we recommend and could lead to further injury. As we say stay safe, stay buff! When beginning any goal one thing to keep in mind is setting realistic expectations. Take a guitar player or someone learning a new language.
In three months will the guitar player know the basic chords and the person learning a language know simple phrases? Chances are yes. Will they be able to rip insane solos or be completely fluent in a language? Were you being honest about your daily calories and macros? If you answered yes to both those questions it could simply be a case of you needing more time. Set short term goals, long terms goals and keep going strong! One side of me is bigger than the other. I think I have muscle imbalance.
Unilateral exercises are great for restoring proportion and typically what we do is add a few more unilateral reps to close out the set using the weaker side of our body. Will working out stunt my growth? Working out safely while maintaining a proper eating routine will not stunt your growth.
In fact, weight lifting has many benefits for teens including increased strength for sports and higher selfesteem. This can often be the biggest hurdle we ever face.
The body is willing but the mind is weak. Are you working out to get bigger? Just to stay in overall Thankfully most people in the gym are good shape? Write down some goals are on you. Do you etiquette no curling in the squat rack, wish to travel? Still find the gym too You workout not only to stay healthy but intimidating? Do what we do, workout also to stay happy. Exercise can be great from home! Building positive habits and a strong mental foundation are just as important as physical training.
By getting yourself into a good routine that fits into your lifestyle, you will find it much easier to hold yourself accountable and to live up to your own expectations. Once you get yourself into good habits you might even find yourself missing the gym on your rest day s. We like to think of it this way: The seat of consistency is held up by four legs of fitness: Working Out. Remove one leg and it becomes wobbly, remove two and it falls over!
Is there an included diet? What kind of eating should I do while cutting? There will not be a specific plan included with this program, just the tools to educate yourself to find what works best for your individual goals. This way we can cater to a wide range of questions.
Please refer to the beginning of the plan for multiple sample eating plans. How many daily calories should I have in order to lose fat? This depends on how much you want to lose and how quickly.
Calorie surplus? Calorie maintenance? When you consume and then burn the same number of calories in a day you are at a calorie maintenance level. For example: if you burn 2, calories a day from exercise, daily activities walking to school, making food, 96 FOOD PLAN brushing your teeth and bodily functions breathing, digesting food, etc.
If you went into a calorie deficit you would be consuming less than what your body needs for exercise, daily activities and bodily functions and stored calories will be burned as well.
This is required for fat loss. On the other end of the spectrum of you went into a calorie surplus you would be consuming more than what your body needs and the extra calories would be stored. This is required for gaining muscle. Remember this important rule: calories are more important than eating a certain type of food. This can be both upsetting all that hard work for nothing!
Is that ok? Have you ever looked at the calorie contents of your average hamburger? The average As we said in the beginning of the plan: person is lucky to burn that amount of consume more calories, gain weight. Start adding french fries on top of Consume less calories, lose weight. Oftentimes trying to eat really, really clean real fast. For us moderation is the key. We never try to go so hardcore with our eating or workout routines that even one missed meal or workout will send our mindstate over the edge.
Protein is essential to help repair and grow muscles, so look to consume a fast acting, lean protein source. Dudes will usually be in the 40 gram range. Women around What are Macros? The slight flexion and extension in the hips is only used to help increase the stretch and contraction in the lats. Keep a flat back. Pull the chest up as you row.
Jump or place yourself in the correct top pull-up position to start. Keep your legs fully extended. NOTE: This exercise is focusing on stability bar control by bringing instability to the movement via the balance that is required to perform the motion.
Retracting your scapula and keeping a tight core will greatly help with the bar control along with performing with a smooth, controlled speed. If using bands, tighten or anchor them on each side with the help of a pair of dumbbells.
NOTE: Keep around a 45 degree angle from your elbows to your torso throughout the lift. The main point of contact on the bench should be your upper back and hips. You can also use plates on the bar in addition to the chains or bands to increase the weight and difficulty. Practice on a short back into the pushup position or drop down with both hands height and slowly work into a taller height. NOTE: Leaning forward and letting your elbows flare will put more emphasis on the chest.
Do not go to full lock out at the top position. NOTE: This exercise will require extra stability as it will be pulling your center of gravity away from you. Use a wide stance and even an outstretched arm the one that is not pressing to help balance you. Main point of contact on the bench should be your upper back and hips. NOTE: Try to keep tension in your chest through the movement by not raising the dumbbells all the way back to the centerline of your body.
As soon as you start to feel the tension in the chest release, bring the weight back down to the stretched position. NOTE: As one side descends, the other side ascends at the same rate and speed.
Constant motion. NOTE: Imagine you're on the ground making a snow angel. Try to keep the arms parallel to the floor. Also, catch yourself. Get into the supine position on the incline bench and grasp the bar outside shoulder width. NOTE: Imagine making a pyramid shape with your hands, going from the outside of your hips to the centerline of your upper torso. Keep the shoulders back and chest up. NOTE: Imagine sitting on your hamstrings to help with proper positioning.
Elevating your shoulders at the top position will activate your trapezius; further stabilizing the top position. Unrack the bar and have the bar located at clavicle level. NOTE: Take this exercise light and maintain a fluid motion. Do not just move your arms; make sure your shoulder joints are responsible for moving the bar forward and backward in conjunction with the pressing. NOTE: To work on sticking points in the overhead press, place the bar at the height of your weakest point.
This will help you gain strength in that area. NOTE: Keep your legs straight. NOTE: You are essentially rotating the plate in a circular motion around your head.
This will focus on time under tension and shoulder mobility. Practice with light weights. NOTE: Keep a vertical torso and tight core. When you finish the allotted reps on one arm, switch to the opposite arm. Slight bend in the knees can help get you in the proper bent over position. NOTE: You can perform this in an alternating or bilateral movement.
Keep a vertical torso and tight core. Do not swing the weight up. NOTE: As one arm lowers the other arm raises. Try to get your elbows as high as you can when you lift the weight upwards to increase posterior deltoid activation. NOTE: Be careful as to not let the med ball bounce back and slam you in the face. Deep breath at the top position and exhale as you throw.
Control your breathing. NOTE: A slight flare in your elbows is okay, but be cautious not to let your elbows rotate too far out; turning the exercise into a pressing motion. NOTE: At the bottom fully extended position, squeeze your triceps. Do not let your elbows flare out too far, as this will allow your chest to help with the motion and decrease the isolation in your triceps.
NOTE: Keep a vertical torso and tight core as this will help you stabilize the motion. NOTE: Keep your elbows tight to your body. Pull your chest up as you bring your chin above the bar. Chin-ups are also a great way to help you gain strength and prepare yourself for doing pull ups. NOTE: Arch your lower back and imagine meeting your chest to the bar as you pull it down. Do not lean back as you curl. For added contraction, imagine rotating your pinky into your shoulder as you curl the weight.
By utilizing slight width with a pronated grip. Place you about hip width. NOTE: Tightening your grip and slightly bending flexing your wrists will increase more forearm involvement. Slightly shrug your shoulders upwards, utilizing your trapezius to increase stability and activation in your upper back. Slightly holding at the top position will increase the difficulty and activation of your trapezius. If needed, use dumbbells placed on your knees if a machine is not available.
NOTE: Do not bounce. Slow and controlled. Keep a rigid and straight position. NOTE: Focus on controlling your breathing. Maintain a neutral chin. NOTE: Inhale as you extend your body and exhale as you flex your body back to the top. Work into a range of motion that is doable. If you do not own a roller wheel, a barbell loaded with weights works as an alternative.
NOTE: Control your speed to help with swinging. Exhale as you reach the top position and inhale as you lower your legs down. NOTE: Do not move your hips while bending. Imagine pulling the dumbbell back into centerline from the stretched position by contracting the opposite side of your obliques.
Exhale as you reach the top position. Use position. NOTE: This can be performed with a partner or against a wall. Utilize the force of your core to twist and accelerate the medball. Use your core to decelerate the med-ball coming back to you. Do not just use your arms but instead use your trunk rotation.

Keep a neutral chin. HOW TO Start on your hands and knees, bring your forearms down to the floor and slowly let your knees slide outward until you feel the stretch in the groin area. You can move forward and sit back into the stretch to feel it in different areas of the hip.
Start to rotate your lower trunk so your left or right leg crosses over the other leg to tap your foot on the floor. Keep your sternum and shoulders against the floor.
Alternate between sides in a slow and controlled motion. With straight arms slowly raise in a circular motion the band or dowel above your head and elevate your shoulders. Rotate your arms all the way around until you reach the back of your body. Repeat this process back and forth. Decrease the width of your grip to progressively increase the mobility in your shoulders. Make small circles with your arms and progressively increase the size of the circles.
Once you reach the largest circles you can do, make your way back to smaller circles, but going the opposite direction.
This process should take around 15 - 20 seconds. HOW TO In the standing or seated position, with your body placed firmly against a wall; start with your arms fully extended and placed in a V position.
Slowly glide your arms downward by flexing in your elbows. Maintain contact with the wall on your upper body and arms at all times. Do not arch your back or let your arms lose contact with the wall. Once you reach the bottom position, slowly glide your arms back to the top position. Hang on to something stable if you need to and swing your leg in a quick manner.
Flex in your hip and knee joints on one leg while you keep the opposite leg straight; squatting laterally. Maintain a vertical torso and make sure your toes are always pointed straight.
Do not let your toes rotate out. Keep your feet flat on the floor and slowly rotate your lower trunk left to right. For a more advanced version, bring your feet off the floor and keep a 90 degree angle in your knee joint and rotate your lower trunk from left to right. Once you hold the rounded back for a split second, exhale and slowly extend your spine into an arch. The process should take around 3 - 4 seconds. If you want to strictly focus on hamstrings, keep your lower back straight, but if you want to mix in a lower back stretch, then round your back and bring your chest down to your legs.
You can alternate between keeping a vertical torso and pushing your hips into your forward leg or bending your torso forward so your chest touches your knee. This stretch can also be used as a mobility drill, because of the benefits of a hip opener by externally rotating the leg while in position.
Reach your arm as far as you can over your head to feel the best stretch. Keep your lower body anchored. Gently push your elbow downward with your opposite hand to maximize the stretch in your triceps. If you want to target a little bit more in the lats with your triceps, slightly lean away from your stretching arm.
Cross one arm horizontally adducting in front of your body. Maintain a horizontal position in your crossed arm. As you have one arm behind your back and the other gently pulling on your head, make sure you keep your torso vertical, do not lean. Take a deep breath, stretching your arms away from your body, and as your chest expands tilt your torso upwards. Keep your fingers pointed back toward your knees.
But please remember that food and rest play just as important a role in either losing fat or building muscle as working out does. If your goal is leaning out, eat less. If your goal is building mass, eat more. Sound simple? It is and most of the time people overcomplicate it. We recommend using a TDEE Total Daily Energy Expenditure calculator to get a better idea of how many calories and macros you should be consuming a day based upon your specific needs.
