Hello and welcome! I want to start off by quickly congratulating you for making the decision to take your physique to the next level using the Somanabolic Weight Training 9 week program.(SWT) You wont regret it! Im very excited for you to hit this fast-track 9 week lean muscle building program because I know what it has done for me in the past and I know what it is about to do for you. Thats why Im going to get you started as quickly as I can without filling this program with a bunch of complicated science that will have you on your computer reading instead of in the gym LIFTING!! I made this a short, straight to the point program that gives you exactly what you want and need without any B.S filler or useless, complicated blabbering. Thats not my style. Im about getting you RESULTS and getting them FAST. This is the exact 9 week program that I used based on my somatotype to pack on 21 pounds of muscle in just 8 weeks. By now you should understand what your somatotype is through the information provided in the Somanabolic Muscle Maximizer. This is very important for you to determine before you move on. The SWT program is based specifically around your somatotype and the goal of gaining pure lean muscle fast without any fat. The best bodybuilders and fitness models in the world all recognize the need to train specific ways that favor their genetics. This can be referred to as somatospecific weight training.

There is not a one size fits all approach to training if you are serious about taking your body to the next level. Im talking about the level that really gets you noticed. Any weight training program that doesnt customize the training based around YOUR somatoype will not maximize your muscle gains because there are so many important variables that are completely ignored. For example, your somatotype will determine exactly; - What exercises you should be doing - How many sets you need to be doing - How many reps you need to do per set - How many sets you train to failure - If you should train past failure - How much rest time in between sets The SWT 9 week program takes care of all of that for you along with more advanced techniques used to break through any muscle building plateau. The SWT program has been developed for intermediate-advanced weight trainers. Beginners can still benefit from this program when you know how to perform all of the basic exercises with proper form. If you are completely new to weight training I do recommend at least 3 months of training with weights and mastering proper form before using this program. It is important that we cover some topics that are keys to packing on the most muscle humanly possible with the SWT program.

you work extremely hard, but will always give you just enough help to keep the weight moving slowly towards the finishing position. We do not want you staying stuck for any length of time if possible.
You have to look at these sets as a wonderful opportunity to improve, progress and stimulate new muscle growth each workout! SWT 9 week program has identified these sets for you in the form of a light blue highlight (eg 1 x 8-10). It will be up to you what to do with them. You must be mentally and physically prepared for these sets if you are going to get the most out of them. You must zone out everything around you.
www.themusclemaximizer.com
While preparing for your set, I recommend putting your head down and closing your eyes for a brief second or two. Tell yourself that this is your chance to make this workout a success. This is your chance to grow. Visualize exactly what youre going to do. Then take a very deep breath in, explode and do it!

Find your somatotype below and follow the SWT nine week program exactly for maximal lean muscle growth.
By now you should know everything you need to know to get started.

Note on cardio: You will notice there is no cardio required in your 9 week training program. You WILL gain maximum muscle without any fat by following the SMM and the SWT alone. Do no more than 20 minutes of low intensity cardio 3 times per week if you choose to do cardio. Studies have shown minimal amounts of low intensity cardio can be an active form of recovery because it shuttles more oxygen, nutrients, and blood to the muscles. I definitely notice this to be true following a leg training day but thats about it. The decision is yours, but if you choose to add low intensity cardio do not overdo it! Note on abs/core training: Your core training is important, but the concern of this 9 week program is to packon as much muscle possible without any fat. Because of this, the SWTs focus is on your weight training regimen. There is not a required abdominal/core training component in this particular 9 week program. That being said, it is recommended that you train your core 2-3 times per week for 10-15 minutes. The focus of your exercises should be balanced between lower, middle and upper abdomen as well as your obliques.
Your success over the next 9 weeks will be directly related to how closely you follow the program below. You will need to do the outlined exercises, sets and reps in order while following the appropriate rest time to achieve maximum results. Lastly, your growth sets have been identified for you in blue below. Dig deep mentally, physically, and push your body to its limits for these sets knowing you are triggering whats needed for new muscle growth.

Notice
The following program requires you to perform supersets. If you are familiar with supersets by all means continue on, but if you have not heard of them or need a refresher please read the next couple of paragraphs so you have a full understanding. Supersets Supersets are essentially two exercises performed back to back that commonly target opposing muscle groups, namely one agonist and one antagonist (also known as push and pull) muscle group. Examples of such muscles are the biceps and triceps, hamstrings and quads, and chest and back. They are also different from normal sets as you don't rest between exercises, whereas you would normally take anywhere from 30 seconds to 2 minutes depending on your somatotype. Note on cardio: You will notice there is no cardio required in your 9 week training program. You WILL gain maximum muscle without any fat by following the SMM and the SWT alone. Do no more than 20 minutes of low intensity cardio 3 times per week if you choose to do cardio. Studies have shown minimal amounts of low intensity cardio can be an active form of recovery because it shuttles more oxygen, nutrients, and blood to the muscles. I definitely notice this to be true following a leg training day but thats about it. The decision is yours, but if you choose to add low intensity cardio do not overdo it! Note on abs/core training: Your core training is important, but the concern of this 9 week program is to packon as much muscle possible without any fat. Because of this, the SWTs focus is on your weight training regimen. There is not a required abdominal/core training component in this particular 9 week program. That being said, it is recommended
www.themusclemaximizer.com
that you train your core 2-3 times per week for 10-15 minutes. The focus of your exercises should be balanced between lower, middle and upper abdomen as well as your obliques.
Your success over the next 9 weeks will be directly related to how closely you follow the program below. You will need to do the outlined exercises, sets and reps in order while following the appropriate rest time to achieve maximum results. Lastly, your growth sets have been identified for you in blue below. Dig deep mentally, physically, and push your body to its limits for these sets knowing you are triggering whats needed for new muscle growth.

Notice
The following program requires you to perform supersets. If you are familiar with supersets by all means continue on, but if you have not heard of them or need a refresher please read the next couple of paragraphs so you have a full understanding.
Supersets Supersets are essentially two exercises performed back to back that commonly target opposing muscle groups, namely one agonist and one antagonist (also known as push and pull) muscle group. Examples of such muscles are the biceps and triceps, hamstrings and quads, and chest and back. They are also different from normal sets as you don't rest between exercises, whereas you would normally take anywhere from 30 seconds to 2 minutes depending on your somatotype. Note on cardio: As you know by now, Meso-Endomorph somatotypes generally carry higher body fat percentages due to a slower metabolism. Although it is a great somatotype for gaining strength, you really have to be cognoscente of the potential to add unwanted weight in unsightly areas such as the lower abdomen, face and neck. Sticking to the Somanabolic Muscle Maximizer will definitely serve as a great benefit but it is HIGHLY recommended that you have a solid cardiovascular plan along with your Weight Training Program. My studies show that Meso-Endomorphs must commit to 3 sessions per week at 25-30 minutes of low intensity cardio to ensure that no unwanted body fat is being added. Low intensity cardio is much more beneficial for fat loss than high intensity

Note on abs/core training: Your core training is important, but the concern of this 9 week program is to packon as much muscle possible without any fat. Because of this, the SWTs focus is on your weight training regimen. There is not a required abdominal/core training component in this particular 9 week program. That being said, it is recommended that you train your core 2-3 times per week for 10-15 minutes. The focus of your exercises should be balanced between lower, middle and upper abdomen as well as your obliques.

Note on cardio: You will notice there is no cardio required in your 9 week training program. You WILL gain maximum muscle without any fat by following the SMM and the SWT alone. Do no more than 20 minutes of low intensity cardio 3 times per week if you choose to do cardio. Studies have shown minimal amounts of low intensity cardio can be an active form of recovery because it shuttles more oxygen, nutrients, and blood to the muscles. I definitely notice this to be true following a leg training day but thats about it. The decision is yours, but if you choose to add low intensity cardio do not overdo it! Note on abs/core training: Your core training is important, but the concern of this 9 week program is to packon as much muscle possible without any fat. Because of this, the SWTs focus is on your weight training regimen. There is not a required abdominal/core training component in this particular 9 week program. That being said, it is recommended that you train your core 2-3 times per week for 10-15 minutes. The focus of your exercises should be balanced between lower, middle and upper abdomen as well as your obliques.
Your success over the next 9 weeks will be directly related to how closely you follow the program below. You will need to do the outlined exercises, sets and reps in order while following the appropriate rest time to achieve maximum results. Lastly, your growth sets have been identified for you in blue below. Dig deep mentally, physically, and push your body to its limits for these sets knowing you are triggering whats needed for new muscle growth.

Note on cardio: You will notice there is no cardio required in your 9 week training program. You WILL gain maximum muscle without any fat by following the SMM and the SWT alone. Do no more than 20 minutes of low intensity cardio 3 times per week if you choose to do cardio. Studies have shown minimal amounts of low intensity cardio can be an active form of recovery because it shuttles more oxygen, nutrients, and blood to the muscles. I definitely notice this to be true following a leg training day but thats about it. The decision is yours, but if you choose to add low intensity cardio do not overdo it! Note on abs/core training: Your core training is important, but the concern of this 9 week program is to packon as much muscle possible without any fat. Because of this, the SWTs focus is on your weight training regimen. There is not a required abdominal/core training component in this particular 9 week program. That being said, it is recommended that you train your core 2-3 times per week for 10-15 minutes. The focus of your exercises should be balanced between lower, middle and upper abdomen as well as your obliques.
Your success over the next 9 weeks will be directly related to how closely you follow the program below. You will need to do the outlined exercises, sets and reps in order while following the appropriate rest time to achieve maximum results. Lastly, your growth sets have been identified for you in blue below. Dig deep mentally, physically, and push your body to its limits for these sets knowing you are triggering whats needed for new muscle growth.
