Monday: Commando
Tuesday: Day One
Wednesday: Day Two

Friday: Day One
Saturday: Day Two

WEEK ONE
(Day 1 and 2 are to be repeated twice per week)
Day 1
A1)* Chin-ups, supinated (palms facing you)
Sets: 3
Reps: 10
Rep Speed: 3 seconds up (pull yourself up over a period of 3 seconds), 1 second down
Rest Interval: 0 seconds (after one set, move directly to the next exercise below)
A2) Squat
Sets: 3
Reps: 10
Rep Speed: 3 seconds up, 1 second down
Rest Interval: 0 seconds
A3) Push-ups With Two Bands Or Feet Elevated
Sets: 3
Reps: 10
Rep Speed: 3 seconds up, 1 second down
Rest Interval: 0 seconds
A4) Deadlifts
Sets: 3
Reps: 10
Rep Speed: 3 seconds up, 1 second down
Rest Interval: 120 seconds
* The A1-A4 designations mean you do one set of each exercise with no rest in between. After the last exercise, in this case deadlifts, you’ll rest for the prescribed amount of time and then repeat the whole circuit two more times. After that, you’ll probably puke, and then you can move to the "B" exercises.

B1) Hanging leg raises
Sets: 3
Reps: 10
Rep Speed: Hold 3 seconds at the top
Rest Interval: 0 seconds
B2) Decline reverse crunch
Sets: 3
Reps: 10
Rep Speed: 3 seconds down, one second up
Rest Interval: 60 seconds

The decline reverse crunch is performed on a slant board or a Swiss ball where you raise your legs up towards your face.

Day 2
A1) Push press
Sets: 3
Reps: 10
Rep Speed: 3 seconds down, explode up
Rest Interval: 0 seconds
The push press is a shoulder press that utilizes the entire body. Start by standing, with a shoulder-width grip and the barbell resting on anterior delts. Squat one-fourth of the way down to initiate the momentum. Next, press the bar straight over the head to a soft lockout while exploding up on to the toes. Finish by lowering the weight to your shoulders.

A2) Walking lunge with dumbbells
Sets: 3
Reps: 10
Rep Speed: 3 seconds up, 1 second down
Rest Interval: 0 seconds
A walking lunge looks like a regular lunge except instead of stepping back to the starting position; you step forward with the back leg. You’ll end up walking across the floor 20 to 30 feet.

A3) Dip
Sets: 3
Reps: 10
Rep Speed: 3 seconds up, 1 second down
Rest Interval: 0 seconds
A4) Bent over barbell row

Rest Interval: 120 seconds
B) Twisting crunches on Swiss ball or hanging leg raises with twist

• The anabolic shock of this GH phase is so intense that many athletes gain five to eight pounds of lean mass while concurrently shedding an equal amount of fat mass, but this depends largely on nutritional factors. If your goals are weight and fat loss then make the appropriate caloric cuts. The net result is a massive lactic-acid meltdown.

• While the program can be repeated, it’s best not to do it — at least not without changing the movements — for more than 6 weeks.

Saturday is for outdoor cardio like roller blading or a light run. It can be skipped but it is an excellent day to get out of the gym and do an outdoor activity that would be fun. Your looking for long and slow, a real fat burning based workout so you can charge up your glycogen stores over the weekend to gear up for the week ahead.

Your success is very important to me. How you look in the new few months will not only change the way you look at yourself but how others look at my training abilities.

I want the best for you and am here every step of the way for you. If you ever have any questions, please do not hesitate to email me or phone, anytime.
