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.
