BODYWEIGHT PREP MANUAL
In this manual we have provided you with 4 killer bodyweight workouts to
improve your overall work capacity and general physical preparation and to
prepare you for the Strong and Shredded system.
Because the Strong and Shredded workouts are HARD, we advise you to start
with the bodyweight preparation phase. While it isn’t mandatory for
everybody, we suggest you start hear to see how you respond to the workouts
and only move onto the Strong and Shredded workouts when you feel you are
ready.
Once you start dominating these workouts, you can move onto the 6 week
Strong and Shredded system. In order to get the most out of the Bodyweight
Prep Manual, you can repeat each workout as many times as you need.
For more advanced lifters, this phase may last 2 weeks, for intermediate lifters
this may last 3-5 weeks and for beginners this phase may last 5+ weeks.

Reading The Workouts
Below is a list of lifting terms you need to understand in order to read the
workouts properly…
Submax = leave 2-3 reps in the tank. If you can do10 pull-ups, only do 7
or 8 reps. If you can do 20 push-ups, only do 17 or 18.
“1A” “1B” “2A” “2B” etc…= Do 2 exercises in a row before you rest.
3A/3B/3C means do all 3 exercises in a row before you rest.
Rest Periods
The amount of time you rest in-between sets will vary and will depend on how
conditioned you are. You will rest only as long as you need to recover from
the previous set.
If you do the next set and your performance and strength drop, you didn’t rest
long enough. On the other hand, if you are resting for 3-5 minutes between
sets you are resting too long. You should be able to finish most of these
workouts in less then 45 minutes.
