Somanabolic Weight Training

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 SWT's 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.
