Study Notes
The Pure Bodybuilding Program - Important Notes
- Warm-up should consist of general warm-up and exercise-specific warm-up (5-10 minutes max).
- Most sets within the program are performed at an RPE (Rate of Perceived Exertion) of 9-10. This means sets should be performed close to failure or to failure.
- Working sets are divided into Early Sets and Last Sets. Early Sets are generally easier than Last Sets.
- Each exercise has a demo video to view before starting a workout.
- A weak point day exists in the program where one should select a weak point from a table and perform 1-2 exercises for that day.
Warm-up Protocol
- General warm-up involves 5-10 minutes of light cardio.
- Dynamic stretches should be incorporated into the warm-up process.
- Exercise-specific warm-up is performed based on the number of warm-up sets listed in the program.
- Warmups use a percentage of the planned working weight: 60% for a single warm-up set; a mini pyramid protocol (50%, 70%) for double warm-up sets; and a full pyramid protocol (45%, 65%, 85%) for triple warm-up sets.
Weak Points Table
- Provides exercises to focus on specific weak body parts, such as shoulders, lats, quads, glutes, chest, and neck.
- Each body part has listed exercise options, which should not all be performed in the same day.
Individual Body Parts
- Hamstrings: Focus on execution quality rather than increasing volume.
- Calves: Prioritize proper execution and form over increasing total volume.
- Mid-Back ("Back Thickness"): Emphasize proper form and squeezing shoulder blades together during exercises.
- Upper Traps: Execute sets with high effort at the top of each repetition, and consider extra sets if needed.
- Abs: Focus on diet and exercise execution to reduce abdominal fat. Round the back during crunches.
- Biceps: A dedicated arm day means additional biceps work is unlikely to be productive.
- Triceps: A dedicated arm day for the triceps means additional exercises are unlikely to be beneficial.
Tracking Load and Reps (Tables)
- Tables show exercises, sets, reps, early/last set RPE, rest time, and substitution options.
- These tables dictate training volume, intensity, and recommended exercises for each week.
- Key training parameters like Resting Period Exertion (RPE), repetitions, and techniques for each exercise are detailed.
Semi-Deload Week (Week 5)
- In Week 5, the program suggests less intense training to aid recovery. Focus on lighter weights and avoid going to failure.
Program Phase (Weeks 6, 7, 8, 9, 10)
- The program changes exercises every week in a phase called Novelty Phase, encouraging muscle growth by challenging muscles.
