There is not a one size fits all approach to training if you are serious about
taking your body to the next level.
Im talking about the level that really gets you noticed.
Any weight training program that doesnt customize the training based around
YOUR somatoype will not maximize your muscle gains because there are so many
important variables that are completely ignored.
For example, your somatotype will determine exactly;
- What exercises you should be doing
- How many sets you need to be doing
- How many reps you need to do per set
- How many sets you train to failure
- If you should train past failure
- How much rest time in between sets
The SWT 9 week program takes care of all of that for you along with more
advanced techniques used to break through any muscle building plateau.
The SWT program has been developed for intermediate-advanced weight
trainers. Beginners can still benefit from this program when you know how to
perform all of the basic exercises with proper form. If you are completely new to
weight training I do recommend at least 3 months of training with weights and
mastering proper form before using this program.
It is important that we cover some topics that are keys to packing on the most
muscle humanly possible with the SWT program.

you work extremely hard, but will always give you just enough help to keep the
weight moving slowly towards the finishing position.
We do not want you staying stuck for any length of time if possible.

While preparing for your set, I recommend putting your head down and closing
your eyes for a brief second or two. Tell yourself that this is your chance to make
this workout a success. This is your chance to grow. Visualize exactly what youre
going to do. Then take a very deep breath in, explode and do it!

Find your somatotype below and follow the SWT nine week program exactly for
maximal lean muscle growth.
By now you should know everything you need to know to get started.

Note on cardio:
You will notice there is no cardio required in your 9 week training program. You
WILL gain maximum muscle without any fat by following the SMM and the SWT
alone. Do no more than 20 minutes of low intensity cardio 3 times per week if you
choose to do cardio. Studies have shown minimal amounts of low intensity cardio
can be an active form of recovery because it shuttles more oxygen, nutrients, and
blood to the muscles. I definitely notice this to be true following a leg training day
but thats about it. The decision is yours, but if you choose to add low intensity
cardio do not overdo it!
Note on abs/core training:
Your core training is important, but the concern of this 9 week program is to packon as much muscle possible without any fat. Because of this, the SWTs focus is
on your weight training regimen. There is not a required abdominal/core training
component in this particular 9 week program. That being said, it is recommended
that you train your core 2-3 times per week for 10-15 minutes. The focus of your
exercises should be balanced between lower, middle and upper abdomen as well
as your obliques.
Your success over the next 9 weeks will be directly related to how closely you
follow the program below. You will need to do the outlined exercises, sets and
reps in order while following the appropriate rest time to achieve maximum
results. Lastly, your growth sets have been identified for you in blue below. Dig
deep mentally, physically, and push your body to its limits for these sets
knowing you are triggering whats needed for new muscle growth.

Notice
The following program requires you to perform supersets. If you are familiar with
supersets by all means continue on, but if you have not heard of them or need a
refresher please read the next couple of paragraphs so you have a full
understanding.
Supersets
Supersets are essentially two exercises performed back to back that commonly
target opposing muscle groups, namely one agonist and one antagonist (also
known as push and pull) muscle group. Examples of such muscles are the biceps
and triceps, hamstrings and quads, and chest and back.
They are also different from normal sets as you don't rest between exercises,
whereas you would normally take anywhere from 30 seconds to 2 minutes
depending on your somatotype.
Note on cardio:
You will notice there is no cardio required in your 9 week training program. You
WILL gain maximum muscle without any fat by following the SMM and the SWT
alone. Do no more than 20 minutes of low intensity cardio 3 times per week if you
choose to do cardio. Studies have shown minimal amounts of low intensity cardio
can be an active form of recovery because it shuttles more oxygen, nutrients, and
blood to the muscles. I definitely notice this to be true following a leg training day
but thats about it. The decision is yours, but if you choose to add low intensity
cardio do not overdo it!
Note on abs/core training:
Your core training is important, but the concern of this 9 week program is to packon as much muscle possible without any fat. Because of this, the SWTs focus is
on your weight training regimen. There is not a required abdominal/core training
component in this particular 9 week program. That being said, it is recommended
www.themusclemaximizer.com
that you train your core 2-3 times per week for 10-15 minutes. The focus of your
exercises should be balanced between lower, middle and upper abdomen as well
as your obliques.
Your success over the next 9 weeks will be directly related to how closely you
follow the program below. You will need to do the outlined exercises, sets and
reps in order while following the appropriate rest time to achieve maximum
results. Lastly, your growth sets have been identified for you in blue below. Dig
deep mentally, physically, and push your body to its limits for these sets
knowing you are triggering whats needed for new muscle growth.

Notice
The following program requires you to perform supersets. If you are familiar with
supersets by all means continue on, but if you have not heard of them or need a
refresher please read the next couple of paragraphs so you have a full
understanding.
Supersets
Supersets are essentially two exercises performed back to back that commonly
target opposing muscle groups, namely one agonist and one antagonist (also
known as push and pull) muscle group. Examples of such muscles are the biceps
and triceps, hamstrings and quads, and chest and back.
They are also different from normal sets as you don't rest between exercises,
whereas you would normally take anywhere from 30 seconds to 2 minutes
depending on your somatotype.
Note on cardio:
As you know by now, Meso-Endomorph somatotypes generally carry higher body
fat percentages due to a slower metabolism. Although it is a great somatotype
for gaining strength, you really have to be cognoscente of the potential to add
unwanted weight in unsightly areas such as the lower abdomen, face and neck.
Sticking to the Somanabolic Muscle Maximizer will definitely serve as a great
benefit but it is HIGHLY recommended that you have a solid cardiovascular plan
along with your Weight Training Program.
My studies show that Meso-Endomorphs must commit to 3 sessions per week at
25-30 minutes of low intensity cardio to ensure that no unwanted body fat is
being added. Low intensity cardio is much more beneficial for fat loss than high
intensity

Note on cardio:
You will notice there is no cardio required in your 9 week training program. You
WILL gain maximum muscle without any fat by following the SMM and the SWT
alone. Do no more than 20 minutes of low intensity cardio 3 times per week if you
choose to do cardio. Studies have shown minimal amounts of low intensity cardio
can be an active form of recovery because it shuttles more oxygen, nutrients, and
blood to the muscles. I definitely notice this to be true following a leg training day
but thats about it. The decision is yours, but if you choose to add low intensity
cardio do not overdo it!
Note on abs/core training:
Your core training is important, but the concern of this 9 week program is to packon as much muscle possible without any fat. Because of this, the SWTs focus is
on your weight training regimen. There is not a required abdominal/core training
component in this particular 9 week program. That being said, it is recommended
that you train your core 2-3 times per week for 10-15 minutes. The focus of your
exercises should be balanced between lower, middle and upper abdomen as well
as your obliques.
Your success over the next 9 weeks will be directly related to how closely you
follow the program below. You will need to do the outlined exercises, sets and
reps in order while following the appropriate rest time to achieve maximum
results. Lastly, your growth sets have been identified for you in blue below. Dig
deep mentally, physically, and push your body to its limits for these sets
knowing you are triggering whats needed for new muscle growth.

Note on cardio:
You will notice there is no cardio required in your 9 week training program. You
WILL gain maximum muscle without any fat by following the SMM and the SWT
alone. Do no more than 20 minutes of low intensity cardio 3 times per week if you
choose to do cardio. Studies have shown minimal amounts of low intensity cardio
can be an active form of recovery because it shuttles more oxygen, nutrients, and
blood to the muscles. I definitely notice this to be true following a leg training day
but thats about it. The decision is yours, but if you choose to add low intensity
cardio do not overdo it!
Note on abs/core training:
Your core training is important, but the concern of this 9 week program is to packon as much muscle possible without any fat. Because of this, the SWTs focus is
on your weight training regimen. There is not a required abdominal/core training
component in this particular 9 week program. That being said, it is recommended
that you train your core 2-3 times per week for 10-15 minutes. The focus of your
exercises should be balanced between lower, middle and upper abdomen as well
as your obliques.
Your success over the next 9 weeks will be directly related to how closely you
follow the program below. You will need to do the outlined exercises, sets and
reps in order while following the appropriate rest time to achieve maximum
results. Lastly, your growth sets have been identified for you in blue below. Dig
deep mentally, physically, and push your body to its limits for these sets
knowing you are triggering whats needed for new muscle growth.
