DEFINITIONS & TIPS
MONSTER SETS: Monster sets are back to back sets using exercises that target opposing mus-cle groups
MONSTER REPS: Use the same weight that allows you to do the 8 reps on the last set. After completing 8 reps, rest 10 seconds and do another set till failure.
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 mus-cles are constantly pumped and that you have high intensity workouts every time to keep your muscles growing.
TILL FAILURE: This means do the maximum number of repetitions of an exercise until your muscles fail, or can’t do anymore.
AMOUNT OF WEIGHT TO USE: Use the heaviest weight possible to reach the designated amount of reps. If your goal is to complete 8 reps, then the weight you use must have you reach failure at the 8th rep. * DB stands for Dumbbell* BB stands for Barbell * The last set of every exercise are performed with Monster Reps.* Warmups listed are only used as a reference, and may be different in the actual footage.

Take hold of a dumbbell in each hand. Stand with your feet hip-width apart, abdominals engaged and back straight. Hold the dumbbells directly above each shoulder, with your elbows pointing out to the sides. Bend your knees and lower your hips slightly back and down, similar to the motion of sitting in a chair. Use your abdominal muscles to control the descent rather than just dropping down, which can throw your form off. Stop lowering when your thighs are parallel to the floor. Raise back up to the top and squeeze your whole lower body from your thighs to your glutes.

SEATED SIDE LATERAL RAISE REPS 15/12/8/8
Sit down on a military press bench or adjust an adjustable angle bench, setting the back to 90 degrees. Hold the bar with an overhand grip (palms facing forward) with your hands slightly farther than shoulder width. Your arms will now be almost fully extended above your head with a slight bend in your elbows. This is the starting position. Slowly begin lowering the bar to your upper chest - almost touching your collarbone. Pause, and then begin pushing the bar back up to the starting position.

Grab a pair of dumbbells. This exercise requires you to use lighter weights than normal. Stand straight up, abs tight. Raise the dumbbells directly over the top of your head. Palms facing forward. Touch the heads of both dumbbells together. This is the starting position. Slowly lower the dumbbells simultaneously until both arms are parallel to the floor. Keep a slight bend in your elbows during the whole motion. Then raise the weights back up to the top position and squeeze your traps. This is a slow and controlled motion. Not explosive.

Take a big step to your right side and squat down until the dumbbells almost touch the floor. Your hips should drop back and down while your knees stay directly above your feet. Step back to the middle position. Take a big step to your left side and squat down until the dumbbells almost touch the floor. Your body should always be facing forward during the whole movement. Simply stepping side to side.

Grasp a couple of dumbbells holding them by your side at arm’s length. Stand with your torso straight and your legs spaced using a shoulder width or narrower stance. The knees should be slightly bent. This is your starting position. Keeping the knees stationary, lower the dumbbells to over the top of your feet by bending at the waist while keeping your back straight. Keep moving forward as if you were going to pick something from the floor until you feel a stretch on the ham-strings. Start bringing your torso up straight again by extending your hips and waist until you are back at the starting position.

Take hold of a dumbbell in each hand. Stand with your feet hip-width apart, abdominals engaged and back straight. Hold the dumbbells directly above each shoulder, with your elbows pointing out to the sides. Bend your knees and lower your hips slightly back and down, similar to the motion of sitting in a chair. Use your abdominal muscles to control the descent rather than just dropping down, which can throw your form off. Stop lowering when your thighs are parallel to the floor. Once your thighs are parallel to the floor, take a second squat even deeper. Creating a double pumping motion. Explode back up by jumping slightly off the ground. Land in the squat-ted position. Take your second dipped squat and explode up again.

Pick up and place a loaded barbell across the back of your shoulders. Stand straight up, with your feet shoulder-width apart, but with one stationed about a foot and a half in front of the other. Your back leg should stand directly under your body and your forward knee should sit at a ninety degree angle. Jump up off the ground slightly, and quickly switch the position of your feet in mid-air. Keep your torso straight, now and throughout the whole movement. Land in the mirror-image of your original position - your forward leg bent at ninety degrees at the knee and hip, and your back leg directly underneath your body. Bend your knees to absorb the impact - but keep your feet and knees facing straight forward. Jump back off the ground, switching your feet to your original position.MID END

Grab just one dumbbell. Lie on your back, flat on the floor. To work the right side, dig the heel into the floor or elevated surface. Place the dumbbell across your pelvis on the front of your hips. Lift your hips slightly as you bring the left leg straight up, heel facing the ceiling. Now thrust the hip up, squeezing the glutes as you push the left heel toward the ceiling. Come back to the starting position. That’s one rep.
