CHRIS POWERS:

4-WEEK WORKOUT
PROGRAM
(BODYBUILDING STYLE)
HYPERTROPHY WORKOUT PROGRAM
Welcome to this Muscle Building Workout Program - your first step toward building your
dream physique! This will be a bodybuilding style, hypertrophy focused workout plan. This is
no ordinary workout program where you follow random workouts with no guidance. This
specialized fitness program will include 12 weeks of methodical and effective workouts to
follow, as well as information on proper and effective training techniques to increase the size
and strength of your muscles. This workout program focuses on muscle hypertrophy,
primarily focused on building muscle.

This plan will provide you with the knowledge to maximize the results from this training
regimen as well as make YOU more knowledgeable about working out. This is an
intermediate to advanced workout program, but can be modified for beginners (I will go over
this later). It can also be used again many times even after 12 weeks to continue building
muscle. If you want to Manifest Your Vision, this is a great place to start!

ABOUT ME
Fitness is my passion. Over the past couple years
I have been documenting my fitness journey
online. Now that I have grown an online following,
people ask me all the time about how I was able
to develop my physique. I am inspired to share
this with you.

Growing up, I was always the skinny kid with no


muscle or strength. I had no idea how much that
impacted my life. Around the age of 16, I began
working out. While I liked how it felt, the truth is
that I made very little to no progress during those
first couple of years. I did not know what I was
doing or where to start. I had no one to show me
how to properly work out, understand nutrition, and put together a fitness program that would
lead to optimal development. I turned to the internet to find some instruction. Unfortunately,
there is just so much misinformation and misconceptions about fitness, that even with all that I
was learning online, it did not significantly develop my physique.

However, over the past couple years, after A LOT of trial and error, hundreds of hours of doing

1
my own research, studying for a bachelor's degree in exercise science, working with world
renowned nutritionist Dr. Philip Goglia, and becoming a certified NASM personal trainer, I have
learned the ins and outs of nutrition and fitness. I also learned the biggest mistake I made
during those first few years of working out - I was not eating nearly enough and not eating the
right kinds of foods that are necessary in a diet to gain muscle.

I am excited to be giving back and sharing all that I have learned in my fitness journey. My own
personal journey inspired me to create a simple and straightforward diet program with accurate
and valuable information for others to follow. Instead of learning the hard way, like I did, this
program is designed to give you a map for fitness success. My hope is that this will help you
achieve your dream physique.

LET THE GAINS BEGIN


Get ready to push yourself and work harder than ever before for the next twelve weeks.
Remember to stay consistent, eat a balanced diet, and enjoy the process!

I am going to break this down into sections so that all the information can be easily simplified
and more easily understood.

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW
BEFORE BEGINNING YOUR JOURNEY
TOWARDS YOUR DREAM PHYSIQUE
The most important place to start is with self-discipline. I have found that in order to keep
going when you lose your original motivation, to be successful toward your goals, you must
stay focused on your intention. Self-discipline is easy to talk about but not easy to practice. It
has to do with doing something even when you may not like it, dealing with impatience and
slow results, staying consistent and trusting in your process - knowing that results will come
with all the hard work you are going to put in.

Everyone’s intention for change is unique. You have to dig deep and think about
why you started or why you want to change. No one can do this for you. Once you
figure out your intention for change, keep it in focus, and it will motivate you from
within every single day.

For me personally, I find motivation from growing up and ALWAYS being the smallest in the
room, both physically and mentally. I was tiny, had no confidence in myself, and always felt
small. It motivates me every single day to think back to growing up like that and never wanting
to feel like that again. I also want to help others who might feel that way. It is my intention to
help and inspire others to manifest their vision as I have been manifesting mine.

Working out without following a workout plan or diet regime is pointless in my opinion.
It is why I did not see much progress during my first two years of working out. As soon as I
developed effective workout and diet plans, including the one that I will be sharing with you
here, I was able to start making serious gains (you can check out my socials to see my
transformation).

I am confident you will see results from adhering to this training regimen. But please
remember, everyone has a different pace for growing muscle and for some it could be slower
3
than you’d like. If you find yourself experiencing slower growth than you’d like just remember
that it is all part of the process and that all you can do is work hard and know you are on the
path to achieving the physique you've always dreamed of! Not to mention, if this process was
easy, everyone would look like Greek gods on the beach...

THE BASICS OF HOW MUSCLE IS


BUILT
I am going to briefly summarize the basics of how muscle is built so you are better prepared to
digest everything in this diet plan and effectively put it to use, as well as become more
knowledgeable about the process yourself!

Muscle grows in a positive protein balance when the rate of muscle protein synthesis is greater
than the rate of muscle protein breakdown. Resistance training will increase your muscle
protein balance only if you are consuming enough food (i.e. calories). Otherwise, you will be in
a negative catabolic state and lose muscle. That is why consuming enough calories (and
protein) paired with resistance training and rest/recovery is necessary to gain muscle.

4
There are three aspects that attribute to muscle growth:

1 Mechanical Tension

This describes the work performed by the


muscles. It is the force produced by your
muscle tissue to overcome resistance,
which basically is your muscles working
under the external load such as a barbell
or dumbbell.

2 Metabolic Stress

describes the stress being placed on your


muscles during your exercise movements.
Eccentric and concentric movements are
muscle contractions in overcoming resistance that build up muscle. Eccentric movement is
lengthening of the muscle fibers under tension while concentric movement is shortening of
the muscle fibers under tension.

3 Muscle Damage

describes the process of your muscle fibers breaking down due to resistance training and
then your muscle fibers being repaired with the protein and calories you consume. This
process leads to your muscles becoming even bigger and stronger in order to take on a
heavier load. This process is referred to as progressive overload in action and leads to
muscle hypertrophy which refers to an increase in muscle mass.

5
HOW TO MAXIMIZE THE RESULTS FROM
THE WORKOUT PROGRAM
How long you should use the workout program?
I recommend that you run this program at least for the full 12 weeks to see the best results.
The workout plan can be run again after completing the 12 weeks. I actually encourage
running the program for more than 12 weeks. You can go through the program as many times
as you want, just make sure to increase the weight that you do with each exercise - for the
required amount of sets and reps - to ensure you are growing and getting stronger!

How to track your progress?


While using this workout plan the best way to track your progress will be taking pictures of
your physique before, during, and after the 12 weeks. It will also be extremely rewarding to
see the physical gains you made and seeing the progress you made will hopefully motivate
you to continue this process of bettering yourself and your physique.

What about intensity and level of experience?


This workout plan may be extremely challenging if you are new to lifting. It may even
challenge you if you are an experienced lifter. However, do not let it discourage you. It should
be a challenge! Simply start with a lower, manageable weight that you are able to safely do
for each exercise for the required number of sets and reps.

How to bulk for best results?


I am confident you will see gains in muscle mass after using the program. To increase the
amount of muscle you gain during these 12 weeks I recommend you pair this workout
program with a bulking diet or eat in a calorie surplus in order to maximize the results from
the plan. Pairing this workout plan with a caloric surplus will increase your ability to recover
from the workouts and gain muscle in an anabolic state.

6
HOW TO MAXIMIZE THE RESULTS FROM
THE WORKOUT PROGRAM
I highly suggest pairing this muscle building workout
program with my Bulking Diet Meal Plan.

However, even if you do not follow a bulking diet, I am


still confident you will make gains just from following
this program.

Progressive Overload
This a simple, yet vital principle of strength training where you gradually increase the stress
placed on your body which stimulates your muscles to grow and get stronger. I recommend
implementing progressive overload whenever it is possible. Progressive overload is when you
gradually increase the amount of weight, frequency, intensity, or number of reps in your
workouts. Implementing this technique into your training is necessary to see consistent
results as those factors will be the stimulus telling your muscles to adapt to stress, get
stronger and grow. If your goal is to build muscle and get stronger, you must implement this
technique and progressively overload the stress placed on your muscles. If you do not
implement this training method in some form and simply go through the motions you will hit
a plateau and not be able to progress further as your muscles have no reason to grow.

If you are able to, try to increase the weight you do with each exercise every week. However, it
is important not to “ego lift” (where you lift heavy to impress yourself or others but
compromise good form). It is essential that you never sacrifice your form to lift more weight.
You will likely get injured and will not see nearly as much muscle gain as doing each rep in a
slow and controlled manner, feeling the muscle fibers contract as you lift. If you cannot

7
HOW TO MAXIMIZE THE RESULTS FROM
THE WORKOUT PROGRAM
increase the weight during a certain week try to challenge yourself to grow in other ways and
implement progrssive overload in a different manner which might include:
● decreasing the rest times in between sets
● focusing on time under tension and doing the movements slower
● adding an extra drop set
● increasing volume by adding an extra set or few reps to certain movements

Training Intensity
Train hard every set but not until failure because you will not be able to recover fast enough
and will not see as many results from doing this type of training method. You should only be
training until failure a few times during each workout session.

Training tip:
Use a slightly lighter weight for the first few sets of an exercise focusing on a solid
contraction of the muscle being worked and longer time under tension. However, make sure
the weight is not too light or else it will not stimulate your muscle enough to grow. I
recommend choosing a weight that you can complete the full number of reps with (with 3-4
reps left until failure). This will also perfect your form of the exercise movement.

For the last 1-2 sets of the exercise use a heavier weight and go until 1-2 reps before failure
or sometimes until you reach failure to really push your muscles and give them a greater
stimulus to grow and get stronger. This is an effective training technique that can be used for
whichever exercises you want. You can implement this technique whenever you wish to
increase the intensity of your training or to simply switch things up. Do not use this method
for every exercise. Do this for 1-2 exercises at most during a workout session.

8
PROPER FORM AND SAFETY
Like I mentioned earlier, proper form is key when it comes to building muscle. It is important
not to underestimate how important this is. It is something I definitely overlooked during my
first two years of lifting. Once I learned how important good form is and after I was taught the
correct form for each exercise, I made much more progress in the gym. It is also necessary to
lift with proper form so you can avoid injuries that would keep you out of the gym and slow
down your progress!

Therefore, I will provide you with some form tips for some of the more complex exercises that
will be included in the plan. If there are still exercise movements you are unsure of how to
perform, DM me on Instagram or email me, as I check them both as much as possible. If
you’re looking for a quick answer, you can always look it up on the internet (youtube) or ask
someone reliable at your gym.

Please remember, I am not a medical professional and this is a physically challenging


program. By choosing to engage in this workout plan you are assuming all risk of possible
injury to yourself. So it is very important to always carefully follow all of the form tips.

Bench Press
Keep your feet back and toward your butt. Keep a slight arch in
your back to relieve some of the pressure and squeeze your
shoulder blades together which will raise your chest and help
with muscle-mind connection. Position yourself under the bar
so that you can easily unrack it but not too far or the pegs will
get in the way on your way up. Grip the bar with a straight
wrist and put whichever finger feels comfortable on the lines engraved in the bar (I normally
put my index finger slightly wider than shoulder width grip). After unracking the bar, take a
breath in and brace as you let the bar come down touching your chest or hovering slightly
above it. Then breathe out as you push the weight back up. It's easy to hold your breath, so
remember to breathe! Breathing is so important for your body during exercise and it will help
you during your workouts.Whenever you are lifting heavy weights, use a spotter to help you
unrack the bar and protect you in case you fail. 9
PROPER FORM AND SAFETY
Deadlift
Conventional form: stand with the middle of your foot under
the bar. Bend over to grab the bar with a shoulder width grip.
Go down toward the bar, bending your knees until your shins
are touching or almost touching the bar. Lift your chest up and
straighten your lower back and upper back. If you have to
hunch your back to get the weight up, you are doing too much
weight. Breathe in and then breathe out as you pull the bar up thinking about mainly
contracting your hamstrings to get it up. You should be pulling the weight from the floor to your
thighs while keeping a neutral back position.

Squat
Stand up straight and position your feet slightly wider than
shoulder-width apart. Let the bar rest on your traps. Then
squat down while breathing in until your thighs are little higher
than your knees. Then breathe out as you stand up, using your
quads to get the weight up. Return to the same original squat
position with slightly bent knees.

Pullup
Grab the bar gripping it shoulder-width apart (or slightly more
than shoulder width). Lift your feet off the floor by bending
your knees and pull yourself up towards the bar. Think about
trying to touch your chest to the bar to get a better contracting
in your back and pull yourself all the way up until your chin is
above the bar. Then lower yourself down until your arms are
fully extended.

10
PROPER FORM AND SAFETY
Dip
Raise yourself on two dip bars while keeping your arms
straight. Then lower your body until your shoulders are below
your elbows and feel the contraction in your lower chest and
tricep. Then push yourself up until your arms are straight
again.

General form tips


Eccentric and concentric movements are muscle contractions in overcoming resistance that
build up muscle. They are both key in the proper form of most exercise movements. An
eccentric movement is lengthening of the muscle fibers under tension while concentric
movement is shortening of the muscle fibers under tension. Focus on slowly controlling the
weight on the eccentric movement for maximal contraction of your muscle fibers and greater
muscle gains. It is also important to apply full range of motion (allow the muscle to fully
lengthen under tension and then shorten again to achieve the best contraction). Think about
doing a bicep curl and letting the weight slowly go down on the eccentric as your muscle
lengthens, completing the full range of motion before bringing the weight back up with the
concentric contraction.

WORKOUT PLAN ADJUSTMENTS
(BEGINNERS AND PEOPLE WHO CAN’T GET IN THE GYM 6 DAYS A WEEK)

All of the exercises in this program are methodically planned which is why I suggest you
follow it closely. However, you are free to add or substitute certain exercise movements when
needed to hit your weak points. For example, my upper chest is a weak point on my physique,
so on a chest day I might add an extra 2-3 sets of incline dumbbell bench press to provide that
muscle group a little extra stimulus to grow.

I suggest you get in the gym 6 days a week. It is great for your physical and mental health.
Challenging ourselves by setting goals and working hard to meet them not only pays off
physically, but is an important element in mental health as well. Working out can also be a
good distraction from your busy life, and an outlet for your stress. Make it the best part of your
day so that you look forward to it. Even though this workout program will be tough, it should
also be fun. Remember that as you are challenging and bettering yourself, you are working
towards a physique that you could have only dreamed of.

With that being said, I know some of you simply do not have enough time to dedicate to being
in the gym 6 days a week. Do not worry! This program can be easily modified to fit your
schedule and you will still see incredible results. You just have to make sure you are training
hard during the days you are in the gym and up the intensity!

5-Day Split
Here you will be in the gym 5 days a week. It is up to you when you want to take your 2 rest days
but I recommend spacing them out and not taking a double rest day on the weekend. For
example, 3 days on, 1 day off, 2 days on,1 day off would be the best way to format your workouts
for the week. Add abs whichever days you have enough time, at the end of your workout

Day 1: You will just do the regular push workout (chest, shoulders, triceps)
Day 2: You will just do the regular pull workout (back and biceps)
Day 3: You will just do regular leg workout
Day 4: Combine chest, back and shoulders
Day 5: Combine arms (biceps & triceps) and legs 12

(BEGINNERS AND PEOPLE WHO CAN’T GET IN THE GYM 6 DAYS A WEEK)

4-Day Split
Here you will be in the gym 4 days a week. It is up to you when you want to take your 3 rest days
but I recommend spacing them out and not taking a double or triple rest day on the weekend. For
example, get in the gym every other day: 4 days on and 3 days off in between each day would be
the best way to format your workouts for the week. Add abs whichever days you have enough
time, at the end of your workout.

Day 1: Combine chest, shoulders, and arms (biceps & triceps)


Day 2: Combine back and legs
Day 3: Combine chest, shoulders, and back
Day 4: Combine legs and arms (biceps & triceps)

13
USING THE PROGRAM ON DIFFERENT
TYPES OF DIETS
As I mentioned earlier, the workout program is very effective while bulking (you can
maximize results and gain the most muscle mass), however you do not need to be bulking
while using this plan to see gains and results.

If you are on a cutting diet or are in the process of losing body fat, this workout plan can help
you achieve your goal while holding on to the muscle you have instead of losing it along with
the fat. Through adhering to an exercise program such as this one, the goal is to gain
muscle. However, if you are eating in a deficit, doing these workouts will allow you to hold on
to the muscle you have and not lose as much strength or size while decreasing your body fat.
If you follow the plan closely and train with intensity you might even gain muscle mass,
which is more difficult when eating in a caloric deficit.

14
MOST IMPORTANT THINGS I’VE
LEARNED ABOUT LIFTING (S0 FAR)
Leave your ego at the door. DO NOT ego lift and try to lift weight that will have a negative impact
on your form. You will likely get injured or not gain nearly as much muscle.

Focus on progress not perfection. It is easy to lose motivation when seeing people online with
the perfect physique or others at the gym with way better bodies than you. This happens to me
all the time being a social media presence in the fitness industry. You have to remember that:

1) They were one day where you are now


2) Their pictures are in ideal lighting and conditions
3) Their physique may not be naturally attainable
4) Everyone has different genetics with different weak points, speeds of muscle growth or fat
loss etc.

Remember that comparison is the thief of joy - focus on progressing in the gym and looking
better than YOU did yesterday. Trust me, this way of thinking helps a lot.

Progressive overload is extremely important for muscle growth as well as getting stronger and it
is vital that you try your best to implement it into this program using the techniques I mentioned.

Enjoy the process. When lifting becomes fun for you, you will never look back and it will become
a lot easier to build that dream physique!

You cannot overlook the importance of food when it comes to gaining muscle (and losing body
fat). Remember, 70-75% of gains are made in the kitchen!

15
MOST IMPORTANT THINGS I’VE
LEARNED ABOUT LIFTING (S0 FAR)
Following a structured workout program (like this one) is extremely beneficial if you want to
see consistent results.

The best motivation for lifting is tracking your own progress. The most euphoric feeling for me
is looking back at pictures of myself from 1 month, 6 months, 1 year (etc.) ago to see how far I
have come and how much I have improved.

Lastly, train with intensity and passion. You are in the gym, following this program for a
reason. Whatever that reason is, whether it is to better yourself, become healthier, achieve
your dream physique, impress someone etc., do not go through your workouts aimlessly,
spending unnecessary amounts of time resting, on your phone, or distracted. Train with a
purpose and you will find joy in going to the gym and working toward something while being
healthy!

16
GYM DICTIONARY
When I first started getting into working out I had to learn terms that are frequently
mentioned in the gym and in workout programs. Here are some terms that may come in
handy to know. Many of you probably already know most of them but it’s always good to have
a place to refer back to. Please note: these are all my own definitions and only a few terms
that I find most important to know.

Workout terminology to better understand this workout program:

Compound Exercises:
Compound exercises are exercise movements that target more than one muscle group. The
main ones to know are squat, bench press and deadlift (often referred to as SBD). They are a
key part of any training regimen and should always be included as they are necessary to build
muscle and provide the base to any workout.

Intensity:
Intensity is how hard your body is working during the workout or exercise. Intensity is a great
tool to implement to stimulate muscle growth and get more out of your workouts.

Progressive Overload
Progressive overload is when you gradually increase the amount of weight, frequency,
intensity, or number of reps in your workouts. Implementing this technique into your training
is necessary to see consistent results as those factors will be the stimulus telling your
muscles to grow, adapt, and get stronger. This is a very important aspect of gaining muscle.

Bodybuilding vs Powerlifting:
Both are resistance training sports. Powerlifting focuses on maximal strength while
bodybuilding focuses on maximizing muscle mass.

17
16
GYM DICTIONARY
Sets:
Sets are how many reps you do in a row between rest times.

Reps:
Repetitions are the action of one complete exercise movement, like one pull up.

Drop Set:
Drop sets are a training technique to maximize muscle gain. They should not be done for
every exercise. On a specific set you go for the required amount of reps or until failure then
lower the weight and immediately go again until failure.

Superset:
Supersets are another training technique to maximize muscle gain. After completing all the
reps in a single set of a specific exercise you move on to another exercise with no rest in
between completing all the reps for a single set. Rest after completing the second exercise
and then start over.

Hypertrophy:
Increase in size of muscles through resistance training

Range of Motion:
The full movement of your joints to allow for best contraction of your muscles.

DB- Dumbbell
BB- Barbell
BW- Body weight

COMMON MISTAKES HURTING YOUR
GAINS
There are some common mistakes people make through their daily lives that may not stop
you from making gains but will definitely make it harder. Therefore, you should try to avoid
them.
Common mistakes that I and many others have come across:

● Not getting enough sleep

● Not eating enough food before (or after) working out - this is necessary for energy

during workout and recovery after

● Not consuming enough protein

● Not training with intensity techniques

● Not utilizing progressive overload

● Neglecting compound lifts

● Not following the program closely leading to not seeing consistent results and growth

● Not being consistent

● Not tracking your progress

● Not having a goal or purpose for being in the gym

● "Giving up" - if it was easy to change your body and life everyone would do it. It comes

down to how bad you want to change and if you are willing to put in the work even on

days where you do not want to. The biggest obstacle in the way of you achieving your

goals is YOU. Believe in yourself and take it step by step.

19
WORKOUT PLAN
After reading through all of the sections, you are now ready to effectively use this workout
regimen to build your dream physique!

12 Week Muscle Building Workout Program


Some important notes that apply to the entire program:

Workout Duration:
Workouts should range from 60-90 minutes. You should be training with intensity and do not
need to be in the gym any longer. Rest times should remain constant (45-90 secs) but always
be a bit longer on compound movements (1-2 mins).
Style of training in this program:

This is a hypertrophy workout program with the goal of increasing muscle size as well as
strength and consisting of compound lifts, accessories, bodyweight exercises, etc. You will be
working each part of all major muscle groups: Chest, back, shoulders, biceps, triceps, legs,
abs, as well targeting the different parts within those larger muscle groups to achieve an
optimal shape of each muscle.

Rep ranges will vary to ensure your muscles are experiencing both time under tension through
hypertrophy training as well as heavier strength based training in order for them to get both
bigger and stronger. There will be more hypertrophy type rep ranges in this plan as the main
goal is to enlarge the size of your muscles and get bigger. The program is structured in the
best way to utilize progressive overload and to see results. The exercises movements will
remain the same for two consecutive weeks and then they will be slightly changed by adding
or subtracting certain exercises, specific intensity methods, rep ranges, etc., in order to
constantly SHOCK the muscle (as Arnold Schwarzenegger would say) and give it a reason
(stimulus) to grow. This is also the best way to track progressive overload and implement it
into your training. Make sure to increase the weight whenever you are capable and write down
the weight you do for each exercise to keep track.

20
WORKOUT PLAN
Format:
FORMAT of the plan will be a combination of the classic Push Pull Leg (PPL) and old school
“Arnold Split”:

The workout plan will be organized in a unique and optimal format to increase muscle gains.
The 6 day program:

● PUSH day with pushing movements targeting your chest, shoulder, triceps
● PULL day with pulling movements targeting your back and biceps (abs will also be
included at end of workout)
● LEG day targeting each part of your legs (abs will also be included at end of workout),
● CHEST & BACK day targeting every part of those muscle groups
● SHOULDERS & ARMS day targeting every part of those muscle groups
● LEG day targeting each part of your legs (abs will also be included at end of workout)

*You can do abs more often if you choose to. Simply redo one of those weeks ab workouts.

*Very important that you warm up with a lighter weight and complete a few dynamic stretches
before your workouts. Warm up is necessary before compound lifts.

*There will be a weakness focus exercise thrown in where you choose an exercise that targets
whichever muscle group you consider a weak point. For example, for my upper chest I would
do an incline barbell press. You can add more of these into the program yourself if needed.

*All of the exercises are designed so that each part of your muscle groups will be worked and
developed in order to avoid having any muscle or strength imbalances.

*You can print out each week of the workout program if you want to write down the weight
you do for each exercise in the notes section.

GO MAKE IT HAPPEN!
You have made it to the end of the workout program! I hope that you feel good and see some
results from all the hard work you put in over these past 12 weeks. Hopefully seeing yourself
progress and make gains will inspire you to keep going and keep working hard. If you ran this
plan through I want to add that I am very proud of you. This is NOT an easy process and the
journey will be long and challenging for most of us. I am sure there were days you did not
want to put in the work or go to the gym. More of those days will come but it is up to you to
push through the hardships. If it was easy and immediate, everyone would have incredible
physiques. This is a commitment to your body, to yourself, and not only can this plan help
transform your body, it can help transform your life - like it has transformed mine!
