Hello and welcome!

I want to start off by quickly congratulating you for making the decision to take

your physique to the next level using the Somanabolic Weight Training 9 week

program.(SWT)

You won’t regret it!

I’m very excited for you to hit this fast-track 9 week lean muscle building program

because I know what it has done for me in the past and I know what it is about to

do for you.

That’s why I’m going to get you started as quickly as I can without filling this

program with a bunch of complicated science that will have you on your

computer reading instead of in the gym LIFTING!!

I made this a short, straight to the point program that gives you exactly what you

want and need without any B.S filler or useless, complicated blabbering.

That’s not my style.

I’m about getting you RESULTS and getting them FAST.

This is the exact 9 week program that I used based on my somatotype to pack on

21 pounds of muscle in just 8 weeks.

By now you should understand what your somatotype is through the information

provided in the Somanabolic Muscle Maximizer.

This is very important for you to determine before you move on.

The SWT program is based specifically around your somatotype and the goal of

gaining pure lean muscle fast without any fat.

The best bodybuilders and fitness models in the world all recognize the need to

train specific ways that favor their genetics. This can be referred to as somato-

specific weight training.

There is not a “one size fits all” approach to training if you are serious about

taking your body to the next level.

I’m talking about the level that really gets you noticed.

Any weight training program that doesn’t customize the training based around

YOUR somatoype will not maximize your muscle gains because there are so many

important variables that are completely ignored.

For example, your somatotype will determine exactly;

- What exercises you should be doing

- How many sets you need to be doing

- How many reps you need to do per set

- How many sets you train to failure

- If you should train past failure

- How much rest time in between sets

The SWT 9 week program takes care of all of that for you along with more

advanced techniques used to break through any muscle building plateau.

The SWT program has been developed for intermediate-advanced weight

trainers. Beginners can still benefit from this program when you know how to

perform all of the basic exercises with proper form. If you are completely new to

weight training I do recommend at least 3 months of training with weights and

mastering proper form before using this program.

It is important that we cover some topics that are keys to packing on the most

muscle humanly possible with the SWT program.

Key 1- Training to failure

Many people misunderstand and have various definitions of what training to

failure is. Let me define it so that you are clear:

Training to failure is performing an exercise to the point where you cannot

complete another rep using proper form. It is the point where your muscles

physiologically fail, NOT when you “think” you can’t complete another rep.

When you are performing a training to failure set, you must perform the set with

proper form UNTIL your muscles physically fail you.

In the SWT program training to failure is strategically and specifically based

around what’s best for your somatotype. You will be training to failure on these

specific sets ONLY.

This will make sure all your muscle fibers have been fully stimulated without

overdoing it and without risking overtraining.

Following this exact program and performing these sets correctly is very

important and is vital to gaining muscle. Training to failure on more sets than

outlined will have the OPPOSITE effect that you want so DO NOT think you are

helping yourself by doing so. Training to failure on less sets that outlined will be

shortchanging yourself and result in less muscle growth than you’re capable of.

Long and short of it is to just follow the program and you’ll be all good!!

Key 2- Training Past Failure

In SWT there will be specific times when you will be required to train past failure.

For these sets, you WILL require a spotter that knows what he/she is doing.

Training past failure is when you have reached failure and now require a spotter

to help you complete 1 more repetition. This spotter must be instructed to NEVER

allow the movement of the weight to completely stop. A good spotter will make

you work extremely hard, but will always give you just enough help to keep the

weight moving slowly towards the finishing position.

We do not want you staying “stuck” for any length of time if possible.

Key 3-Growth Sets

Growth sets are the sets MOST responsible for pushing your muscle growth

forward from one workout to the next. You have the opportunity to take

advantage of growth sets every workout in this 9 week program.

A true growth set requires more work from the muscle being trained than the

previous workout.

This is achieved by:

- Lifting more weight in a training to failure or past failure set for the same

reps as the previous workout.

- Completing more reps in a training to failure or past failure set with the

same weight as the previous workout.

- Doing the same weight and reps in a training to failure or past failure set

BUT with a MORE fatigued muscle starting the set than the previous

workout.

You have to look at these sets as a wonderful opportunity to improve, progress

and stimulate new muscle growth each workout!

SWT 9 week program has identified these sets for you in the form of a light blue

highlight (eg 1 x 8-10). It will be up to you what to do with them.

You must be mentally and physically prepared for these sets if you are going to

get the most out of them.

You must zone out everything around you.

While preparing for your set, I recommend putting your head down and closing

your eyes for a brief second or two. Tell yourself that this is your chance to make

this workout a success. This is your chance to grow. Visualize exactly what you’re

going to do. Then take a very deep breath in, explode and do it!

Key 4-Rest Time

Your rest time in between sets will be specifically based on your somatotype for

the goal of gaining lean muscle without fat. This is very precise and should be

followed as closely as possible. You will notice great differences in rest time

between certain somatotypes and less differences between others.

Key 5- Free Weights and Machines

You will also notice that there is no “one size fits all” approach to this topic either.

Lately you’ll hear a lot of people demonizing machines but we can strategically

utilize both free weights and machines for maximal muscle growth. Your

somatotype will determine how to best take advantage of machine work.

Also, you will find we take advantage of machines on pre-fatigued muscles

especially in weeks eight and nine to engorge the muscle with as much blood

possible which can encourage muscle growth.

Find your somatotype below and follow the SWT nine week program exactly for

maximal lean muscle growth.

By now you should know everything you need to know to get started.

Let’s get you going!

Note on cardio:

You will notice there is no cardio required in your 9 week training program. You

WILL gain maximum muscle without any fat by following the SMM and the SWT

alone. Do no more than 20 minutes of low intensity cardio 3 times per week if you

choose to do cardio. Studies have shown minimal amounts of low intensity cardio

can be an active form of recovery because it shuttles more oxygen, nutrients, and

blood to the muscles. I definitely notice this to be true following a leg training day

but that’s about it. The decision is yours, but if you choose to add low intensity

cardio do not overdo it!

Note on abs/core training:

Your core training is important, but the concern of this 9 week program is to pack-

on as much muscle possible without any fat. Because of this, the SWT’s focus is

on your weight training regimen. There is not a required abdominal/core training

component in this particular 9 week program. That being said, it is recommended

that you train your core 2-3 times per week for 10-15 minutes. The focus of your

exercises should be balanced between lower, middle and upper abdomen as well

as your obliques.

Your success over the next 9 weeks will be directly related to how closely you

follow the program below. You will need to do the outlined exercises, sets and

reps in order while following the appropriate rest time to achieve maximum

results. Lastly, your growth sets have been identified for you in blue below. Dig

deep mentally, physically, and push your body to its limits for these sets

knowing you are triggering what’s needed for new muscle growth.

Notice

The following program requires you to perform supersets. If you are familiar with

supersets by all means continue on, but if you have not heard of them or need a

refresher please read the next couple of paragraphs so you have a full

understanding.

Supersets

Supersets are essentially two exercises performed back to back that commonly

target opposing muscle groups, namely one agonist and one antagonist (also

known as push and pull) muscle group. Examples of such muscles are the biceps

and triceps, hamstrings and quads, and chest and back.

They are also different from normal sets as you don't rest between exercises,

whereas you would normally take anywhere from 30 seconds to 2 minutes

depending on your somatotype.

Note on cardio:

You will notice there is no cardio required in your 9 week training program. You

WILL gain maximum muscle without any fat by following the SMM and the SWT

alone. Do no more than 20 minutes of low intensity cardio 3 times per week if you

choose to do cardio. Studies have shown minimal amounts of low intensity cardio

can be an active form of recovery because it shuttles more oxygen, nutrients, and

blood to the muscles. I definitely notice this to be true following a leg training day

but that’s about it. The decision is yours, but if you choose to add low intensity

cardio do not overdo it!

Note on abs/core training:

Your core training is important, but the concern of this 9 week program is to pack-

on as much muscle possible without any fat. Because of this, the SWT’s focus is

on your weight training regimen. There is not a required abdominal/core training

component in this particular 9 week program. That being said, it is recommended

Page 22: Somanabolic Weight Training

that you train your core 2-3 times per week for 10-15 minutes. The focus of your

exercises should be balanced between lower, middle and upper abdomen as well

as your obliques.

Your success over the next 9 weeks will be directly related to how closely you

follow the program below. You will need to do the outlined exercises, sets and

reps in order while following the appropriate rest time to achieve maximum

results. Lastly, your growth sets have been identified for you in blue below. Dig

deep mentally, physically, and push your body to its limits for these sets

knowing you are triggering what’s needed for new muscle growth.

Notice

The following program requires you to perform supersets. If you are familiar with

supersets by all means continue on, but if you have not heard of them or need a

refresher please read the next couple of paragraphs so you have a full

understanding.

Supersets

Supersets are essentially two exercises performed back to back that commonly

target opposing muscle groups, namely one agonist and one antagonist (also

known as push and pull) muscle group. Examples of such muscles are the biceps

and triceps, hamstrings and quads, and chest and back.

They are also different from normal sets as you don't rest between exercises,

whereas you would normally take anywhere from 30 seconds to 2 minutes

depending on your somatotype.

Note on cardio:

As you know by now, Meso-Endomorph somatotypes generally carry higher body

fat percentages due to a slower metabolism. Although it is a great somatotype

for gaining strength, you really have to be cognoscente of the potential to add

unwanted weight in unsightly areas such as the lower abdomen, face and neck.

Sticking to the Somanabolic Muscle Maximizer will definitely serve as a great

benefit but it is HIGHLY recommended that you have a solid cardiovascular plan

along with your Weight Training Program.

My studies show that Meso-Endomorphs must commit to 3 sessions per week at

25-30 minutes of low intensity cardio to ensure that no unwanted body fat is

being added. Low intensity cardio is much more beneficial for fat loss than high

intensity

Note on abs/core training:

Your core training is important, but the concern of this 9 week program is to pack-

on as much muscle possible without any fat. Because of this, the SWT’s focus is

on your weight training regimen. There is not a required abdominal/core training

component in this particular 9 week program. That being said, it is recommended

that you train your core 2-3 times per week for 10-15 minutes. The focus of your

exercises should be balanced between lower, middle and upper abdomen as well

as your obliques.

Note on cardio:

You will notice there is no cardio required in your 9 week training program. You

WILL gain maximum muscle without any fat by following the SMM and the SWT

alone. Do no more than 20 minutes of low intensity cardio 3 times per week if you

choose to do cardio. Studies have shown minimal amounts of low intensity cardio

can be an active form of recovery because it shuttles more oxygen, nutrients, and

blood to the muscles. I definitely notice this to be true following a leg training day

but that’s about it. The decision is yours, but if you choose to add low intensity

cardio do not overdo it!

Note on abs/core training:

Your core training is important, but the concern of this 9 week program is to pack-

on as much muscle possible without any fat. Because of this, the SWT’s focus is

on your weight training regimen. There is not a required abdominal/core training

component in this particular 9 week program. That being said, it is recommended

that you train your core 2-3 times per week for 10-15 minutes. The focus of your

exercises should be balanced between lower, middle and upper abdomen as well

as your obliques.

Your success over the next 9 weeks will be directly related to how closely you

follow the program below. You will need to do the outlined exercises, sets and

reps in order while following the appropriate rest time to achieve maximum

results. Lastly, your growth sets have been identified for you in blue below. Dig

deep mentally, physically, and push your body to its limits for these sets

knowing you are triggering what’s needed for new muscle growth.

Note on cardio:

You will notice there is no cardio required in your 9 week training program. You

WILL gain maximum muscle without any fat by following the SMM and the SWT

alone. Do no more than 20 minutes of low intensity cardio 3 times per week if you

choose to do cardio. Studies have shown minimal amounts of low intensity cardio

can be an active form of recovery because it shuttles more oxygen, nutrients, and

blood to the muscles. I definitely notice this to be true following a leg training day

but that’s about it. The decision is yours, but if you choose to add low intensity

cardio do not overdo it!

Note on abs/core training:

Your core training is important, but the concern of this 9 week program is to pack-

on as much muscle possible without any fat. Because of this, the SWT’s focus is

on your weight training regimen. There is not a required abdominal/core training

component in this particular 9 week program. That being said, it is recommended

that you train your core 2-3 times per week for 10-15 minutes. The focus of your

exercises should be balanced between lower, middle and upper abdomen as well

as your obliques.

Your success over the next 9 weeks will be directly related to how closely you

follow the program below. You will need to do the outlined exercises, sets and

reps in order while following the appropriate rest time to achieve maximum

results. Lastly, your growth sets have been identified for you in blue below. Dig

deep mentally, physically, and push your body to its limits for these sets

knowing you are triggering what’s needed for new muscle growth.
