Introduction

Before we get started I need to ask you for one favor. Please, please, please read

the main Muscle Gaining Secrets e-book before beginning the workouts. You need to

have a full understanding of how the body works and why before you begin the

workouts. If you do that you will get much more out of them; trust me. I know

everyone is anxious to jump right into the program but there is so much more to

building muscle than simply performing the exercises, sets and reps I have listed

here for you. By reading the e-book before starting the program you will be

guaranteeing your success. Just doing the workouts without having read the book

will be doing yourself a huge disservice and your results will be less than optimal.

What workout should I start with?

• If you have trained for less than three months then you should start with

Phase 1 of the MGS Beginner Program.

• If you have been training  properly  for 3-6 months, then start with Phase 2 of

the MGS Beginner Program.

• If you have been training  properly  for 6-9 months, then start with Phase 3 of

the Beginner Program.

• If you have been training  properly  for 9-12 months, then you could either

start with Phase 3 of the Beginner Program or Phase 1 of the Intermediate

Program.

• If you have been training  properly , for more than 12 months you should

start with the Intermediate Program, work your way through and then finish

with the Advanced Program.

Remember that the name of the game is progressive overload. You must train like an

uncaged beast every time you set foot in the gym and have one goal in mind with a

laser sharp focus on achieving it. That goal is to beat last workouts performance. You

have to improve upon what you did last time or your workout will be a complete

waste of time. It’s you versus the training log and you must do all you can to ensure

that you emerge victorious. The last thing you want to do is leave the gym as a

loser, defeated. This must be prevented at all costs. You absolutely have to do more

reps or more weight than last time or you have failed to do anything to make the

body grow.

If you can not go up you are either not eating enough, not sleeping enough, partying

too much or are too stressed out. Overtraining is not a likely option since I have

designed the workouts to ensure against it. Something else is wrong, though, and

you need to address it and fix it immediately if you want to get bigger and achieve

your goals.

Do not over think or over analyze things; simply add weight to the bar or do more

reps week after week, eat like a horse, get lots of rest and you will soon be one of

the biggest, if not THE biggest, guys in your gym.

How do I know how many reps to do each week? What does it mean

when you say 5-8 reps?

Start each workout with the lower end of the rep range. So if the rep range is 5-8

you would pick a weight you can do for five reps on week one. On week two stick

with the same weight and get more reps with it. Once you can get eight reps with

that weight, be it on week two or week four, it is time to increase the weight by five

to ten pounds. Your goal should be to add weight as often as possible so dowhatever you can to get to eight reps as quickly as possible.

What does it mean when the exercises have the same number but a

different letter next to them?

When exercises have the same number but a different letter, it means that you are

supposed to alternate those two exercises back and forth. For example if 1a) is a

bench press and 1b) is a 1 arm dumbbell row you would do one set of bench

presses, rest two minutes and then do a set of 1 arm dumbbell rows. After the rows

you would again rest two minutes before going back to do your second set of bench

presses.

If an exercise just has a number with no letter next to it that simply means that you

do two straight sets of the exercise with the prescribed rest period between sets.

How do I fill in the training log sheets?

The standard, widely accepted formula for recording workout stats is sets times reps.

Therefore if you lifted 185 pounds for six reps on your first set and 135 pounds for

five reps on your second set, you would write 185x6 in the Set 1 column and 185x5

in the Set 2 column. Some of the sheets have three sets listed because a few of thecalf exercises in the Intermediate Phase have three sets each.

Why are there no ab exercises included?

Big compound exercises like squats, deadlifts, pushups and military presses train

your abs far better than any kind of direct abdominal work like crunches or sit ups

ever could. Believe me, your abs will get a great workout and awesome development

from doing the exercises in the program. Not only that, but regularly doing tons of

loaded spinal flexion exercises like sit ups and crunches can be quite dangerous and

injurious for many people. I’m sure that a lifetime of back pain is not something that

you need or want. And finally, remember that the abs can only be seen when your

body-fat is low enough and the only way to get it there is with proper diet and

energy system/ cardio training. All the sit ups and crunches in the world will do

absolutely nothing to improve your abdominal development but might cut into your

recovery ability and slow down your rate of muscle growth.

Can I add a few extra sets of (curls, calves, etc) at the end if I still

feel good and have lots of energy left?

Whatever you do, please do not alter the workouts in any way, shape or form

whatsoever. They are designed to deliver maximum results in minimum time and to

prevent overtraining. If you think, “Ah, what the hell, I’ll just add in an extra set of

biceps and triceps at the end,” you will be heading down a slippery slope and I cannot be held responsible for your lack of progress or results. Stick with the program

and follow the exact exercises, sets, reps and rest periods as I have laid them out for

you. Be sure to watch the clock so that you are sure to adhere to the proper rest

periods and not exceed your maximum workout time. Carrying a stopwatch with you

isn’t a necessity but is recommended.

Enough talking. You now know all you need to know to get big and strong. The rest

is up to you. Its time to get fired up, attack these workouts with a vengeance and

get huge!

Good luck.
