In week one your rep range will be 12-15 reps. In week two you bump up all the weights and drop reps
down to 9-11. Week three adds weight again to each exercise to drop the rep range down to 6-8. And in
week four you bump the weight up again to drop reps down to 3-5 per set. Those are the four
microcycles that you will repeat. On the fourth week you have completed the first 4-week phase. On the
fifth week you drop the weight back down and start all over at 12-15 reps per set. This is the start of
Phase 2. But now you will be able to do each rep range with at least 5 and up to 20 pounds more than
you could in Phase 1. In the sixth week, or week 2 of Phase 2, you will be back at 9-11 reps per set. In
week 7, or week 3 of phase 2, weight will go up again to drop your repa down to 6-8 per set. And in
week 8, or week 4 of phase 2, weight will go up to limit reps to 3-5 per set. That completes Phase 2. And
in week 9 you start The final phase, phase 3 by dropping back down to 12-15 reps per set and run
through the four microcycles again until you are back down at 3-5 reps per set. Of course, in each phase
you will be using 5-20 pounds more than you did in phase 2 and 10-40 pounds more than you used in
Phase 1. This is how you get stronger... Much stronger, over this 12-week program.

The constant increase in weight each week and the recycling of these four phases leads to impressive
strength gains. The microcyles also lead to muscle hypertrophy due to the constant changing up of the
rep ranges each and every week. Another reason for the strength and mass gains has to do with the fact
that you keep the weight steady on each exercise for all sets and you are forced to complete the
minimum number of reps in that rep range.

Focus: Maximizing Muscle Growth – During weeks one and two of each phase of the
program, you will do one rest-pause on the last set of each exercise. To do this, reach muscle
failure on the last set, then rack the weight and rest 15 seconds. Then continue the set until
you reach muscle failure again. During weeks three and four of all phases, you will do a drop
set on the last set of each exercise. To do this, take the last set to muscle failure then
immediately reduce the weight to the amount you used for that exercise during week 1, and
continue the set until failure again.

Arm Workout every week on Fridays. 4 exercises of biceps and 4 of triceps.
