Bikini Intermediate
This program is made for someone who is a competitor in the bikini division and has experience under the barbell or an
experienced lifter who wants train like a bikini competitor (but may not want to compete). This is an affordable alternative to
hiring a coach while still getting a quality training program that will push you.
This program will be split into two cycles, each 5 weeks in length for a total of 10 weeks. You will be training on a 5-day split.
Each training day will have 1 main lift and will then move onto another compound lift or accessory work. The squat, dead lift,
strict overhead press, and a variation of overhead press will be the foundation of the program. Hip thrusts will always be the
secondary movement throughout the program for lower body since glute development is a main focus in bikini.
Your main lifts will vary in sets and reps daily and be based off of a percentage of your 1 rep max (RM) for that movement
(except the variation overhead press). So if you do not have a 1 RM my advice would be to find one for each lift. Take a week
to test them and then start the program. Intensity (% of weight on the bar) will normally change day to day along with the
number of repetitions. Some days will be easier than others and some days will be harder. DO NOT make the easy days hard
they are there for a reason. The goals in this program are to gain size and strength in an efficient manner. Training days will
focus on one of the three:
1. Metabolic stress/hypertrophy.
3. Handling heavy weights with lower repetitions/more sets to achieve a stimulus from higher intensity while maintaining
technique and safety.
There are some max rep (MR) sets implemented sparingly throughout the 10 weeks. As mentioned before do not go to
absolute failure on these sets if you are unsure if you can finish another rep DO NOT attempt another rep. Saving one in the
tank is more effective than ruining x amount of following training days from accumulating too much fatigue on one MR set.
Accessory work sets are on a 3-week rotation. You will rotate each 5-week cycle separately so you will not completely make it
through 2 full rounds of the rotation. The wave for a 5-week cycle will look like this:
Week 1 sets of 3
Week 2 sets of 4
Week 3 sets of 5
Week 4 sets of 3
Week 5 sets of 4
Week 6-10 is structured with the same 3-week rotation.
Accessory movements are not programmed for you. We have provided a bank of exercises for you to choose from giving you
freedom in which movements you would like to pick for that day. Don’t be afraid to try new exercises that you have never done
before on the list and if we have missed something you feel targets the specified area, then by all means go for it!
The accessory movement bank was chosen to compliment the main movements and work on areas that are highly specific
to bikini competitors – hamstrings, glutes, and shoulders. Some people may need more work than others on a lagging muscle
group. This is taken care of by a fifth day for accessory work only. There is a guideline to follow to work on the specific body
parts mention above (legs, glutes, and shoulders). If you have a more specific weak muscle group in your physique, feel free
to dedicate this day to bringing up that weak point with 3-4 movements. Try to keep barbell movements away on these days
and focus on more isolation work.

Variation of OHP : Choose between seated BB OHP, seated DB OHP, standing DB OHP or a machine OHP.
Rest periods : Rest for as long as necessay between sets on your main movement (exercise A) and keep a moderate rest
period between the rest of the exercises (B-E). If you are short on time, you may superset some of the accessory exercises but
this is not a requirement.
Leg day hip/glute activation : I highly recommend purchasing a Hip Circle from howmuchyabench.net or Amazon and use it
before all leg workouts! Forward, backward and lateral walks are my favorite movements. You can also perform a few sets of
body weight squats with the Hip Circle for extra hip/glute activation.
