    Hey. I was just wondering if there’s any specific reason to why there isn’t any shoulder exercises? Military presses have been working fine for me, so I wouldn’t like to ditch that, but the program looks awesome otherwise. I also want to say GOOD JOB on this page, and i’m very happy to real about how to have a better looking physique compared to other juice-heads 😉

      Hey Simon,
      Yes there was a reason … I forgot! 🙂

      Thanks for the heads-up. I too am a BIG fan of military presses. I added shoulders in there with chest and tris since the routines are based off of push/pull days.

    I think your article is superior the video by Kyle Leon. He uses the gimmicky video style that takes far too long to get to the point. He also tries to use the “girls will be all over you” approach to “sell” his concept, which I’m still not sure what he was getting at because he’s terribly long winded. I listened to his video for five minutes and closed it. It took five minutes for him to mention one useful fact, when reading your article takes me 30 seconds to get useful information.

      Thanks Marcus,
      Yeah, you can tell he’s trying to sell something. It’s a good product but a bit over-hyped in the video.

    Do you not have to do ab exercise?

      If you’re trying to bulk up and put on muscle mass, i really don’t think a person needs to put in extra time on ab workouts. Some of these legs exercises will work your core good, but who really cares, just trying to bulk up right?

    Would you try and push to failure on say the 7th or 8th set when you’re feeling fatigued? Or would you stop a rep short before failure?

      I think he meant your 6th rep should be the failure point but stop at 5. On the first set.

    Hey Kevin

    Thanks for all these tips .. they are great. I do have a question though: at no stage do you mention cardio in your workouts. So eg there is nothing in this article for day 2, 4 and 6 assuming that 7 is a rest day, should i do some amount of cardio as well? or just the weight lifting exercises 3 times a week?

    Thanks a lot for this article.

    Hey man, I have a question.. Do you take a Rest Day after Day 5, or do you go straight back into Day 1?

      I believe the program is setup to have a rest day in between each workout. See below

      Day 1 – Monday (workout)
      Day 2 – Tuesday (rest)
      Day 3 – Wednesday (workout)
      Day 4 – Thurs (rest)
      Day 5 – Friday (workout)
      Day 6 and 7 – Sat and Sun (rest)

      You would not go back into day one. The resting phase is just as if not more important than the actual workout. Your muscles need time to repair or else you won’t see the bulk.

    Hi, would like to thank you for sharing a great workout. I do have a question about the 3rd day (back and bicep). I’m only able to do a solid 8 pull up max so i cant keep up with 8 or even 5 pull ups for 8 sets. Any alternative?

    I have been doing various exercises in different gyms for the past 6 months but with little increase in muscle weight
    If I am following this workout schedule, how much time would it take? Further should I be increasing the reps or sets with time?

    This workout looks great. Though its hilarious that when I get in the gym people think Im strength training when doing just 5-8 reps. Though strong ripped muscles are the way forward and this plan hits that goal perfectly. No one wants to look blubbery

    For Day 1, is it supposed to be incline bench for both dumbbell and barbell, or is one of them flat bench?

      I’m going to make the Barbell Press flat, and leave the Dumbell as Incline. More diversity in the Pecs in my opinion. Also leave flys as incline, find it works better.

    This looks like an awesome workout and I’m planning on using it after I use your cutting phase. I do have some questions though about your special report workout plan with the diet… Does it matter when I workout during the day with the dieting program because I plan on doing a midnight regime? Also when it comes to your bulking up phase the 3 day split M, W, F do I rest on Saturday and Sunday? And could you provide a diet plan for the bulking phase… I really do appreciate the blogs. I’m really excited to start this regime you’ve created. I’m 6’1 180 lbs and the fat sits in the stomach so I’m a little chubby with a bmi of 20%.

    Thank you

    I have a routine which is nearly identical to your one man! Just to add to the community, I read an article on fiber while bulking which is pretty interesting that people may like to check out. http://bulkingmode.com/how-much-fiber-should-you-have-while-bulking/
    Never really used to think about fiber in my diet as I’m a young dude haha.

    Hey man, got confused on your reps and sets system. 8 sets right? 5-8 reps? So 1st set is with max weight, 2nd set with 80% weight, and then for all of the other sets that same weight? Or each 2 sets you go down 80%?

    Hey was wondering how long should I be on this bulking phase? Do I stop straight after I see the results and change to a cutting phase? Or keep going until my result has peaked and move on to cutting? Your reply would be most appreciated, thanks!
