I want to start off by quickly congratulating you for making the decision to take
your physique to the next level using the Somanabolic Weight Training 9 week
program.(SWT)
I’m very excited for you to hit this fast-track 9 week lean muscle building program
because I know what it has done for me in the past and I know what it is about to
do for you.
That’s why I’m going to get you started as quickly as I can without filling this
program with a bunch of complicated science that will have you on your
computer reading instead of in the gym LIFTING!!
I made this a short, straight to the point program that gives you exactly what you
want and need without any B.S filler or useless, complicated blabbering.
This is the exact 9 week program that I used based on my somatotype to pack on
21 pounds of muscle in just 8 weeks.
By now you should understand what your somatotype is through the information
provided in the Somanabolic Muscle Maximizer.
This is very important for you to determine before you move on.
The SWT program is based specifically around your somatotype and the goal of
gaining pure lean muscle fast without any fat.
The best bodybuilders and fitness models in the world all recognize the need to
train specific ways that favor their genetics. This can be referred to as somato-
specific weight training.
There is not a “one size fits all” approach to training if you are serious about
taking your body to the next level.
I’m talking about the level that really gets you noticed.
Any weight training program that doesn’t customize the training based around
YOUR somatoype will not maximize your muscle gains because there are so many
important variables that are completely ignored.
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.
It is important that we cover some topics that are keys to packing on the most
muscle humanly possible with the SWT program.
When you are performing a training to failure set, you must perform the set with
proper form UNTIL your muscles physically fail you.
This will make sure all your muscle fibers have been fully stimulated without
overdoing it and without risking overtraining.
Following this exact program and performing these sets correctly is very
important and is vital to gaining muscle. Training to failure on more sets than
outlined will have the OPPOSITE effect that you want so DO NOT think you are
helping yourself by doing so. Training to failure on less sets that outlined will be
shortchanging yourself and result in less muscle growth than you’re capable of.
Long and short of it is to just follow the program and you’ll be all good!!
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.
A true growth set requires more work from the muscle being trained than the
previous workout.
- Lifting more weight in a training to failure or past failure set for the same
reps as the previous workout.
- Completing more reps in a training to failure or past failure set with the
same weight as the previous workout.
- Doing the same weight and reps in a training to failure or past failure set
BUT with a MORE fatigued muscle starting the set than the previous
workout.
SWT 9 week program has identified these sets for you in the form of a light blue
highlight (eg 1 x 8-10). It will be up to you what to do with them.
You must be mentally and physically prepared for these sets if you are going to
get the most out of them.
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 you’re
going to do. Then take a very deep breath in, explode and do it!
Your rest time in between sets will be specifically based on your somatotype for
the goal of gaining lean muscle without fat. This is very precise and should be
followed as closely as possible. You will notice great differences in rest time
between certain somatotypes and less differences between others.
You will also notice that there is no “one size fits all” approach to this topic either.
Lately you’ll hear a lot of people demonizing machines but we can strategically
utilize both free weights and machines for maximal muscle growth. Your
somatotype will determine how to best take advantage of machine work.
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 that’s about it. The decision is yours, but if you choose to add low intensity
cardio do not overdo it!
Your core training is important, but the concern of this 9 week program is to pack-
on as much muscle possible without any fat. Because of this, the SWT’s 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 what’s 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 that’s about it. The decision is yours, but if you choose to add low intensity
cardio do not overdo it!
Your core training is important, but the concern of this 9 week program is to pack-
on as much muscle possible without any fat. Because of this, the SWT’s 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 what’s 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:
Your core training is important, but the concern of this 9 week program is to pack-
on as much muscle possible without any fat. Because of this, the SWT’s 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.

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 that’s about it. The decision is yours, but if you choose to add low intensity
cardio do not overdo it!
Your core training is important, but the concern of this 9 week program is to pack-
on as much muscle possible without any fat. Because of this, the SWT’s 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 what’s needed for new muscle growth.
