ACCELERATED

HYPERTROPHY
VOL. 27
2S 0U 1M7M E R 2020

BY ELEONORA DOBRININA
ABOUT THIS WORKOUT
In the Phase 1, you’ll use Post-Fatigue and Tempo Contrast

methods for shocking your muscles into growing. Each

exercise was carefully selected to ensure growth in the

fastest time possible.

Phase 2 will focus on Muscular Density. Large muscles

aren’t as impressive as large, DENSE muscles! By focusing

on specific rep ranges and techniques, you’ll ensure you’re

targeting the proper muscle fibers for rapid muscle growth

and density.

Includes supplement list.

GLOSSARY
TEMPOS, TERMS AND
ABBREVIATIONS
SUMMER 2020

BY ELEONORA DOBRININA
TEMPO EXPLANATION
First Digit: refers to the lowering or eccentric phase of the lift. For exam-

ple, with a Barbell Curl exercise performed with a 4010 tempo, you’d

lower the barbell in 4 seconds.

Second Digit: refers to the length of time spent at the bottom position of

the lift. This is the point that the lift transitions from the lowering to

returning to the starting position. For example, with the Curl, you’d lower

to the bottom position and immediately begin lifting to the start position.

Third Digit: refers to ascending or concentric phase of the lift. This is the

amount of time it takes you to get to the top of the lift. For example, with

the Curl, you’d rise to the starting position in 1 second. Make note that due

to fatigue, the concentric tempo might exceed 1 second, which is accept-

able as long as you attempt to move the barbell/DB as fast as possible.

Fourth Digit: refers to the length of time you should pause at the top of the

lift. For example, with the Curl, you wouldn’t pause at the top before low-

ering for the next rep.


TERMS & ABBREVIATIONS
AMRAP: abbreviation that means "As Many Reps As Possible," meaning to

do a circuit of exercises as many times as possible within a specific

period of time.

BB: barbell.

DB: dumbbell.

FT: fast tempo.

REP: repetition.

RPE: abbreviation of “Rating of Perceived Effort”.


10: Max effort Activity – completely out of breath and unable to speak

9: Very Hard Activity – difficult to breath and can speak 1-2 words

7-8: Vigorous Activity – short of breath and can speak 1-2 sentences

4-6: Moderate Activity – can hold a short conversation

2-3: Light Activity – light exertion, comfortable pace used for warming

/cooling down

1: Very Light Activity – no exertion

SSC: short for “Steady State Cardio”. Is simply a cardio workout that is a

continuous, steady effort, as opposed to an interval cardio workout where

you vary your energy output. Any cardiovascular/aerobic activity that is

sustained for an extended time (usually starting at about 10 to 15 minutes

for beginners and 20 to 90 minutes for more fit athletes) at a fixed intensi-

ty qualifies as steady state training.

TRAINING SPLIT
Due to the high volume of work performed in each workout, it’s important
that you maximize recovery. Aim for at least 7 hours of sleep nightly.

If possible, take 20-30 minute naps when possible, especially on your


days off.

The body-part split utilized allows you to customize the program


according to your weaknesses. If your pecs are a weak point, you can
train them first in the week, when your muscles and nervous system are
recovered from your off days.

HERE’S A RECOMMENDED TRAINING PLAN:


OPTION 1
Day 1: Program A Chest & Back
Day 2: Program B Lower Body
Day 3: Off
Day 4: Program C Arms & Calves
Day 5: Program D Shoulders & Back
Day 6 & 7: Off

Continue cycling through the programs for 4 weeks.


You can customize your own training split, but keep the following in mind:
Avoid training 2 Upper Body Days in row.

If training 3 days in a row, ensure you make the Arms program the second
workout. For example:
OPTION 2
Day 1: Program B Lower Body
Day 2: Program C Arms
Day 3: Program A Chest & Back
Day 4: Off
Day 5: Program D Shoulders & Back
Day 6 & 7: Off
OPTION 3
Day 1: Program B Lower Body
Day 2: Program A Chest & Back
Day 3: Program C Arms & Calves
Day 4: Off
Day 5: Program D Shoulders & Back
Day 6 & 7: Off

Again, you can switch Upper Body programs (Chest & Back or Shoulders
& Back) according to your weakness.

If your legs are severely lacking, you can train them twice per week, while
leaving arm training out. It’s a matter of priorities.
