Final Phase Fat Loss
Exercise Library
Welcome to the Final Phase Fat Loss exercise library.
If you’re already read through the training manual or looked at your custom training log
sheets, then you may have noticed that there is a tremendous variety of exercises in
each individual training session, and certainly in the program as a whole.
Additionally, as I’m a mad scientist of sorts and I like to use a lot of fun and excited
movements, a good number of the exercises might look a bit unfamiliar to you on paper;
and that’s where this Library comes in handy.
In the pages below, you’re going to find all of the exercises in Final Phase Fat Loss, and a
good number that are NOT in the program.
Which may lead you to ask—why would I include exercises that aren’t in the program?
Well, to give you options. If you choose to continue the program further than 6 weeks
and need some fresh ideas, or if a piece of equipment is unavailable to you, the extra
exercises included below will be helpful in selecting a replacement.
Along those same lines I should mention that in order to make the program accessible
to you, you may make alterations based on equipment. For example, just about any
dumbbell exercise can be done with a barbell (and vice versa), and nearly all such
exercises have a suitable bodyweight replacement.

While I prefer you don’t change things in terms of the ORDER of exercises, there will be
little harm in switching out one type over overhead pressing movement for another.
Additionally, at the bottom of the document, you’ll find a series of link. They say a
picture is worth a thousand words, so a video must be worth a hundred thousand. Or a
million. Or a million billion! Okay, I’ll stop.
My point is that sometimes a picture and a description just doesn’t do an exercise
justice, or at least doesn’t give a clear enough picture of the proper way to perform the
movement.
To that end, I have included links to what I consider to be some of the less popular or
more complicated exercises in the program, so that you can see me or one of my clients
perform it in good form.
I find this is generally a bit more beneficial than trying to come up with a simple way to
explain something fairly complicated. You’ll love it!

About the Model
Shea dropped 4% fat in just 4 weeks—
and landed
a MAJOR modeling gig!
Having played multiple sports at an elite level for nearly
my entire life I have always been fairly lean. From
training for those sports, I learned how to design training
and nutritional repertoires that kept me in peak athletic
shape (between 8-9% body fat).
When I decided to pursue a modeling career, I knew
that I would need to get leaner in order to compete for
jobs—that’s when I turned to Final Phase Fat Loss. With the help of John and FPFL, we were able to cut
those tricky last couple pounds of fat. Within 4 weeks, I
went from 9% body fat to 5%.
Almost immediately after completing the program, I was
signed to one of the most prominent modeling agencies
in the world. Final Phase Fat Loss gave me the results,
the physique, and the confidence I needed to work in an
industry where you are constantly under themicroscope, in less time than I ever thought possible.
Shea Trott, 23, Model
New York, New York
You may remember Shea from the Final Phase Fat Loss website. When I first started
working with him, I immediately saw his potential as a model. When he said he wanted
to get into the industry, I knew he had a shot, but we agreed he needed to get leaner.
I knew that with his height, his structure and his face, he would definitely have the
opportunity to walk the line between fitness and fashion—lean and muscular enough to
appear in sports relation publications, and tall enough for fashion magazines.

He had such great results using the program as I was training him that when I decided to
turn the method into a book, I knew it was a perfect opportunity to take some shots and
get his feet wet as a model.
He did a great job, of course.
And it turns out that I was right.
Using some of the pictures you’ll see below, Shea was able to market himself a bit to
both photographers and some agencies. And within a short 3 weeks of taking these
photos, Sheamus had been signed to one of the most preeminent modeling agencies in
the world.
From that time, he has been featured in magazines like Cosmopolitan, in fitness promos,
and even a Levis campaign. I would like to be able to take just a little bit of credit, but
really it all comes down to Shea’s hard work and talent.
He is an exceptional guy and now an incredible friend and he is also now a rapidly rising
star in the industry.
I just wanted to give him a shout out here because I could not be more proud of him.
That’s what Final Phase Fat Loss did for him. What can it do for you?
And now, without further adieu, on to the exercises.
