Deloading
Welcome, and thank you for purchasing the Men’s Hypertrophy Program.
Your support truly does mean the world to me and does not go unnoticed.
I have taken a number of months to create this program, and will continue updating it as new
research is brought to light.
When beginning this program, you will want to select the appropriate training split based on
your everyday lifestyle and training age.
Lifestyle
One thing I’d like to make clear, is that there is no superior split. The best training split will
always be the one that you can adhere to best and thus stay consistent with over an
extended period of time.
So with that said, 6 day splits and 5 day splits will not be better than a 4 day split if you
cannot adhere to the former training splits consistently (i.e., skipping days over the course of
the week).
Training Age
Additionally, your training age will not play a large factor in split selection here.
However, the 4 and 5 day splits will be excellent choices for Beginner lifters, especially the 4
day option, as this split consists of more rest days, which may allow for good adherence, and
easier exercises to execute.
If you can adhere to a 6 day training split, this will be an excellent option, but I would not
recommend running it as a 6 on, 1 off training split.
Rather, a 3 on, 1 off, 3 on, 1 off split will likely be a superior approach, as this will allow for
more rest days and the training volume to be more spread out across a single rotation.
For this reason, if you opt for a 6 day training split, I would highly recommend taking the
latter aforementioned approach (3 on, 1 off, 3 on, 1 off).
If you do opt for this approach, just remember that this training split is a dynamic split since it
is an 8 day split. Consequently, your rest days will be different each week.
4
Training Periodization
Before beginning, we should understand some terminology. Some of which you will see on
the program.
Training Periodization refers to the structuring, planning, and organization of training over the
long-term.
Whereas, Training Programming refers to the creation of training programs and the
manipulation of training variables over the short-term (where you’re actually creating the
program).
Now, when it comes to structuring your training, we can do this in such a manner to where
we plan our training blocks ahead of time utilizing what is termed “Block Periodization.”
This is what we did for this program by using Macrocycles, Mesocycles, and Microcycles to
effectively organize and structure our training.
Macrocycle
These can last anywhere between 1-12 months depending on how the training is set up.
These are generally periodized to align with changes in one’s dietary phase.
Mesocycle
These can last anywhere between 5-15+ weeks. This is essentially the actual Training
Program where exercise selection, volume, intensity (RIR), etc., is shown.
Microcycle
A Microcycle is a single Training Rotation that generally lasts 1 week, but can last longer
depending on your training split. This is your week / rotation of training.
5
Warmup Routine
Warming Up - Pre-Training
Warming up is fairly important but should not be complex, long, and should be individualized
to some degree, so this will be a rather short explanation on how to go about warming up.
The goal of warming up is to solely increase core temperature to prevent subsequent injury
during hard training, as you are more susceptible to injury when cold.
Based on the current body of evidence, I would suggest the following protocol, in order:
1. 5-15 minutes of LISS (Low Intensity Steady State) Cardio – I would recommend the
use of a Treadmill (2.5-3.5 speed, no incline), however, the modality (machine) you
choose is up to you.
It’s as simple as that, we do not want to spend too much time warming up as it is simply
unnecessary. A total of 10-15 minutes including the initial Cardio will suffice.
Lastly, an honorable mention would be additional Ankle Mobility work during your warmup
each training session, as the inclusion of the following protocol may help speed up
progression in improving ankle mobility for Lower Body training. This has personally helped
me and many others alongside full range of motion training to improve depth during Leg
Pressing and Squats:
When paired, this can improve flexibility and thus range of motion acutely. However, this is a
neural effect, we cannot manipulate fascial tissue, thus, this is one of the only benefits of
foam rolling besides its ability to acutely reduce soreness in the area.
If you opt to include this within your routine, I would recommend doing this second, so after
Cardio but Before Dynamic Stretching, as Static Stretching too close to Resistance Training
has shown to limit training induced hypertrophy.
6
Warmup Routine
These should be implemented prior to your actual Working Sets that you will track, on a
select number of exercises.
When it comes to the very first exercise of the session, I like to utilize a 3-2-1 Warm Up
Method. Please give this video for an adequate explanation on this Warmup approach.
https://www.tiktok.com/@ryjewers/video/7163024073956592901
When it comes to all subsequent exercises for the same given muscle group, you can either
opt for 1 warm up set, or none at all, and for all subsequent exercises targeting different
muscle groups, you can do the same.
How you warmup in general will largely vary between individuals as there is no “correct'' or
“perfect” way. Find what works best for you, and stick to that.
7
Technique
Execution
In this chapter, we will touch on your technique, and by far, this is one of the most
overlooked variables when Hypertrophy Training.
The quality of your technique will inevitably determine the amount of volume you require and
the amount of stimulus to fatigue induced.
If we opt to use lower quality technique, we will procure a lower stimulus for the target tissue,
higher synergistic musculature fatigue, and lower agonist muscle activation.
Rather, if we opt to use high quality technique, we will do the complete opposite.
The goal should be to create a Technique / Quality Baseline, where we standardize our
technique during Weeks 1 and 2 of the mesocycle / training block, then maintain this level of
quality for the rest of the phase.
This will allow for the best stimulus to fatigue ratio (amount of stimulus induced for the
fatigue cost generated) and allow us to easily recognize improvements in training
performance.
If we continuously change our technique week to week, and allow form-breakdown to occur
when high fatigue becomes present, this will make it more difficult to accurately tell if you are
progressive overloading.
This is why developing a quality baseline first and standardizing your technique is so
important.
Once that foundation is built, you can then proceed to reek the benefits (Gains).
8
Technique
I say despite fatigue, because your tempo should NOT be changing voluntarily. It should
ONLY be slowing down involuntarily due to fatigue.
… in other words, when you are reaching closer proximity to local muscular failure.
Your Eccentric tempo should be on the slower and controlled side. Around 3 seconds on
average is a pretty good spot to be in for an eccentric contraction, as research suggests a
slower eccentric speed may be more hypertrophic, although too long of a negative
(eccentric) may do the opposite, and thus be detrimental (worse).
Your Concentric tempo doesn’t matter all that much. However, I would highly recommend
NOT purposely slowing down your concentric tempo significantly, but deliberately making
your concentric tempo as fast as humanly possible is not necessary.
Range of Motion
We do this by training very hard, so close to local muscular failure, or to failure, to allow for
enough motor unit recruitment so we can expose high threshold fibers generating force to a
degree of mechanical tension.
However, relative intensity (training intensity) is not the only factor driving motor unit
recruitment. Range of Motion is also involved.
Motor unit recruitment is dependent on ROM as some motor units are only active in certain
ranges of motion within the given musculature.
Simply put, if you want to maximize motor unit recruitment and thus gains, we need to be
training through a full range of motion (muscles range of motion, NOT joint range of motion)
with very high intensity.
9
Exercise Selection
One of the most common mistakes I see today in Gym Goer’s of all training ages is
implementing too much redundancy within their training sessions.
These training sessions within your program have been strategically created to avoid
redundancy and thus maximize the stimulus to fatigue ratio of the given training session.
This will inevitably keep our training more productive and avoid unnecessary fatigue for the
little stimulus net from subsequent redundant work.
With that said, if you do not have the appropriate equipment to complete the training session
in full as it is presented to you, you can choose an alternative from the detailed Exercise
Substitution tables that are given to you.
Lastly, if you do not enjoy the exercise that is initially given to you, or you find it causes some
degree of discomfort, I would also recommend looking into swapping it out for a substitute
from the Exercise Substitution table.
10
Exercise Sequencing
How you sequence your exercises is important, but will be dependent on one’s needs
(goals). In other words, you should always sequence by priority (earlier exercises targeting
weak points, later exercises targeting strong points) as later exercises within the session
have a smaller hypertrophic effect.
However, if your focus is on Overall Growth, I would recommend sticking to the sequencing
that is presented to you.
If you require a degree of specialization, feel free to sequence the given exercises in a
different order, so by PRIORITY as mentioned above, BUT there are two things you will want
to consider before doing so.
Cross-Over Stimulus & Fatigue refers to the stimulus and fatigue induced from an exercise
and it “crossing over” into either the next exercise within the session, or the following training
session.
This would inevitably limit us in our chest pressing due to the fatigue within our triceps,
making it significantly more difficult to perform adequately in our chest work. We do not want
the triceps to fatigue first and thus limit us before we can achieve close proximity to failure
within the pecs essentially.
So certainly individualize your exercise sequencing if you wish, just be aware of Cross-Over
Stimulus & Fatigue.
11
Exercise Sequencing
Unstable Exercises
If it is an internally stabilized / less stable compound movement that has a higher injury risk
potential, such as Barbell Back Squat, I would then recommend programming these types of
exercises first in sequencing.
However, if it is an internally stabilized / less stable isolation exercise with little injury risk
potential, I would highly recommend programming these types of exercises towards the start
of the session.
This exercise contains a very high stability demand. So if we place first in the session when
we are fresh, we are required to use considerably more load (weight) than if we were to
place it later in the session.
This higher load exposure will cause greater instability and higher bracing requirements,
thus limiting us during training and thereby making it harder to achieve close proximity to
failure.
However, if we program these types of exercises towards the end of the training session, the
lats will then be very fatigued. This means we will require less load and we can reach close
proximity to failure significantly faster due to local fatigue before being limited by stabilization
and bracing.
Volume
Right off the bat, with Hypertrophy Training, volume is tracked as the number of Working
Sets in a single training week or training session.
This is because any set done outside of the recommended intensity threshold to stimulate
hypertrophy (5-0 RIR) is not conducive to Hypertrophy as it lacks the intensity required to
kickstart mechanotransduction (muscle growth signaling / process). Thus, there is no point in
tracking a set towards your working volume that falls outside of this threshold.
… We’ll touch on RIR later. But RIR simply stands for Reps In Reserve, which means “Reps
From Failure” essentially.
With that said, there is no special number of working sets that is “best.”
But there is a sweet spot in terms of the number of working sets across a given week.
… and more volume IS better, but ONLY to a point, and anything past this point will make
our training less productive and worsen overall progression by impeding recovery and thus
negatively impacting performance.
Volume
As of right now, I believe this to be 3-7 working sets per muscle group per session. However,
of course, this will depend on the given muscle group.
For example, no one would bat an eye at 7 sets for the chest in a single training session, but
7 sets of calves? … now that’s a bit too much and probably not worth it due to the poor
stimulus to fatigue ratio (SFR).
If we opt to use too much volume, past a certain point the subsequent work won’t net a very
good stimulus compared to the fatigue that it generates, thus making the training very
redundant and unproductive, so I’d advise not exceeding 9 sets of DIRECT work for a
muscle group in a single training session.
Direct = Direct stimulus where the target tissue is the primary mover / biased.
Indirect = Indirect stimulus where the given tissue is NOT the primary mover / biased (e.g.,
Triceps in a Chest Press, Glutes in a Quad Biased Leg Press, Biceps in Rows, etc.).
There is a set number of working sets for each microcycle / rotation / week of training
presented to you.
However, as we know, volume is dependent on one’s needs and thus will vary between
individuals, so there is no magically / “best” number of working sets for everyone.
For this reason, you can increase or decrease set volume when you feel it is required to
continue progressing at an adequate rate.
With this said, you may think the volume is low at first glance.
Once you establish a quality baseline of technique and you continue to use very high quality
technique where you are moving with intent and purpose, and you are focused on training
very hard, you will come to realize the volume presented to you is probably not very far off
what you likely require for best gains.
You do NOT need a ton of work when you are training with intent and high intensity.
14
Volume
With that said, there may come a point though where altering volume may be a good idea.
If you feel you are progressing very quickly and recovering WELL on time before you train
the given tissue next, I would recommend increasing set volume slightly for the week, so by
1-2 sets per muscle group per week.
If we take a look back at the inverted-U shaped curve, we want to be around the top end of
that curve essentially.
Remember, more volume is better but only to an extent. So start low, see how you respond,
then adjust accordingly.
This is done for you in the program, but everyone will respond differently, remember.
15
Intensity
Well, yes, it is quite straightforward, but unfortunately, most individuals do not train hard
enough as they are very inaccurate at gauging their self-perceived reps in reserve.
In hypertrophy training, this is what we use to gauge our intensity during training by
estimating and subsequently tracking our level of effort on the completed working set.
When you complete a set, be sure to estimate your RIR for the given working set. Do this for
all working sets.
This is unnecessary for warm up sets.
Example:
“100 lbs x 5 repetitions @ 2 RIR.
This would indicate a 2 RIR set, meaning you had 2 reps left in the tank.
Please note, that on the program, there are RIR targets. It is of paramount importance to
adhere to these targets.
16
Intensity
It is common to see RIR 0 defined incorrectly as local muscular failure. Rather, it is when you
can no longer perform another full range of motion repetition.
Failure is when you go beyond 0 RIR and attempt another repetition but do NOT achieve it
with a full range of motion.
This matters because whereas it provides a very similar stimulus, it does net greater fatigue.
So when you are tracking, be sure to track your working sets correctly when you are training
close to or to failure.
Additionally, your intensity will determine the amount of volume you require. In research, we
see that most individuals are not very good at accurately gauging RIR, and thus training
much further away from true local muscular failure than they think. Consequently, do make
sure you are using adequate intensity.
17
Someone who trains with less intensity will require more work (volume) and someone who
trains with adequate or higher intensity will require less total work.
Intensity
In short, yes.
This program uses a Double Dynamic Progression Scheme by gradually increasing volume
and intensity over time through the mesocycle (training block).
When we first start a training block, we are generally coming off a deload. So we are fresh
for training and much more “Training Sensitive.”
For this reason, we do not need a ton of volume and high intensity to provide the given
musculature being trained a robust hypertrophic stimulus.
The first week of a new training block will also consist of a degree of variation, thus it will
have new exercises that will inevitably cause a “Novel Stimulus.”
This will create higher muscle damage than usual, so keeping volume and intensity on the
lower side will be best to ensure we not only provide an adequate stimulus and not overdo it
too early on, thus creating unnecessary fatigue, but it will also set ourselves up for future
productive training.
This will be the best approach, and I would always recommend following the RIR presented
to you on the program, even if you have to go over the rep range to hit the prescribed RIR
target.
Personally, I opt for 4-3 RIR training for the first week, then 2-1 RIR training for the next several
weeks, and subsequently train at 1-Failure for the remainder of the mesocycle.
18
Rep Ranges
However, there WILL be a difference in central fatigue accumulated with the rep range you
choose.
The 5-10 range does seem to allow for the best stimulus to fatigue ratio as you will net very
similar stimulus with less central fatigue vs 10+ repetitions with the same level of relative
intensity.
For this reason, I would recommend the majority (¾) of your training to be in the 5-10 range,
and the rest be in the 10-30 range.
With that said, certainly follow the rep ranges, but if you need to change one due to
preference, you can, and if you end up exceeding the rep range to hit the prescribed RIR
target, be sure to do so.
The easiest (one way) to use rep ranges is to estimate / select a load that gets you in the
bottom end of target repetition range for the prescribed target RIR on the program.
Subsequently, acutely overload (progressive overload) via repetition increases until you
reach the top of the repetition range, then increase the load to bring you either back in or
back down the given rep range.
Feel free to apply overload how you like, but this is an easy way to approach your training
with rep ranges.
Progressive Overload
Each week, you should be trying to do more weight with the same or slightly lower reps, or
more repetitions with the same weight as last week, each week, to continue keeping
mechanical tension equal week to week and thus create the necessary adaptations to grow /
retain muscle tissue.
19
Tracking Performance
I would recommend using your Notes application on your phone, and tracking the following
data for each Working Set, every session, every week:
- Load used.
- Number of full range of motion repetitions performed.
- Self-perceived RIR.
- Partial repetitions if programmed.
- Isometric hold if programmed.
There are a number of ways you can write out your working set data when tracking
performance, but here is one example when utilizing normal training, partial repetitions, and
isometric holds:
100x10 RIR2
This would indicate 100 lbs used for 10 full range of motion repetitions completed to 2 RIR.
100x10+3
This would indicate 100 lbs used for 10 full range of motion repetitions completed to 0 RIR
plus 3 partial repetitions past true local muscular failure.
100x10+3 w/ 4s
This would indicate 100 lbs used for 10 full range of motion repetitions completed to 0 RIR
plus 3 partial repetitions past true local muscular failure plus a 4 second long isometric hold.
20
Rest Periods
This is a short one as I have preached about this many times across my socials online.
For this reason, I would recommend resting for 3 minutes on average between each
working set.
This also applies to Unilateral (one side at a time) training. Thus, you should be resting
between sides.
With this said, I would recommend autoregulating your rest periods between sets. Once you
feel that the following variables are recovered enough to perform another productive
hypertrophic set (a set 5 reps or above with quality technique):
It is the “boring training” that is the best. Straight sets with adequate rests are superior to
using intensity techniques (intensifiers) such as rest-pause sets, myoreps, dropsets, etc.
However, there are myoreps and dropsets implemented within the program to allow for
variation during training, as they are fun and can drive individuals into deeper stages of hard
training as they are rather difficult due to the high accumulation of blood flow and
metabolites within the given musculature (the burn).
21
Rest Periods
Intensity Techniques
The 3 intensity techniques within the program presented to you are the following:
- Myoreps (MR / MR-DS)
- Dropset (DS)
Myoreps are a variation of the rest-pause technique. It is where you complete a set, rest for
10-15 seconds only, then complete another set to true local muscular failure.
MR = Myorep Set (complete 1 set to the target RIR, then rest 10-15 seconds, then complete
another set to true local muscular failure for any number of repetitions).
MR-DS = Myorep Dropset (complete 1 set to the target RIR, then reduce the load by enough
to complete 5 or more repetitions to true local muscular failure in the subsequent set, rest
10-15 seconds, then complete another set to true local muscular failure for any number of
repetitions).
DS = Dropset (complete 1 set to the target RIR, then reduce the load by enough to complete
5 or more repetitions to true local muscular failure in the subsequent set, then immediately
without rest, perform another set to true local muscular failure).
22
Deloading
This program is set to be 12 weeks long, however, if you would like to extend the duration of
each training block, or perhaps a particular training block, you absolutely can.
A deload should only be implemented when necessary due to local and systemic fatigue
being too high, so if you are still feeling good at the end of the training block, I would
recommend extending the mesocycle until you feel it is necessary to implement fatigue
management (deload).
Deloads should only be done at the end of a given training block and before a new training
block. I would highly recommend using one between Mesocycle 1 and Mesocycle 2.
This is a small introduction to setting up your nutrition. I want to touch on the following
because your nutrition is just as important as your training, and if you do not have a goal in
mind, you are going to limit your progression.
Whether you are massing (bulking), cutting, or maintaining, this program can be run no
matter what.
With that said, we are going to quickly touch on how to get started with your nutrition.
First, we must find our maintenance calories by estimating starting calories. This
maintenance value is likely a value (number of calories) within a small range (e.g.,
2700-2900).
To find this range, we must initially use an online calculator to estimate our Maintenance
calories.
We can do this by making a simple Google Search along the lines of “Calorie Calculator” or
“Maintenance Calories Calculator.”
Use 2-3 different calculators, then take the average from the 2-3 calculators for your
maintenance calories.
During this time, you need to be weighing yourself each day, upon waking, before washroom
use, and before eating & drinking.
The more data you have, the more confident we can be when making adjustments week to
week. Thus, try not to forget to weigh yourself.
Once you have all of your weigh-ins for the week (Monday-Sunday), take the average each
Sunday.
Because there can be a large degree of weight fluctuation day to day, it is more important to
look at the weekly average weight, then the Weight Trend (how your weight is trending)
second.
This means, you should be making adjustments based on your weekly average weight
primarily (not always).
24
From here, based on how your weekly average weight moved after 2-3 weeks on the initial
calories that you generated from the calorie calculators, you can increase, decrease or the
calories to alter your rate of movement (cause your weight to move in a different direction).
- Consume 0.75-1.5g of protein per pound of bodyweight (lower end for less serious
gym goers, higher end for very serious gym goers).
- Spread out your protein roughly evenly throughout the day (e.g., 200g protein = 4
meals x 50g protein each).
- Eat a Pre-Workout meal 1-2 hours before training (High Carbohydrates, Low Fat, ¾
Glucose, ¼ Fructose) (e.g., Rice Krispies Cereal, Banana, Whey Protein Shake)
- Eat a Post-Workout meal after training (The sooner the better but it is not essential,
High Carb, Low-Moderate Fat).
This was simply just a very basic introduction to nutrition to go alongside the information
necessary to work through the training program.
It is likely that the majority of individuals using this program are already following a nutrition
protocol of their own in some way.
… but if you require further assistance and would like to become more knowledgeable in this
aspect of your fitness (Nutrition), you can apply for 1 on 1 individualized Fitness Coaching
