SINISTER STRENGTH – Unleashing EV IL GAINs in STRENGTH and POWER!
Within Sinister Strength, you will be focusing in on phases that will last 4 total weeks each. 3 Weeks will be based upon progressive overload. The 4th week will consist of a DELOAD / ACTIVE RECOVERY Week This is to help the body recover and prepare for the next phase of intensive work Explanation of Workouts: Length of Sessions: Try your hardest to get your session done in under an hour. More time spent training in the gym means more time we take away from letting our bodies heal. The goal of your training sessions is to get in and get out! Set a timer and get moving! Always push the pace!
Explanation of Workout Outlines: Each of your workouts are outlined below. You’ll see a 1A), 2A) ect before each movement. When you see 2 or more of the same NUMBERS (1A), 1B), 1C)) this means that these movements are joined together in either a superset OR circuit meaning you would perform 1A first followed by 1B) second, 1C next, and so on and so forth. You are allowed to take a break when you have completed ALL of the movements under that letter. Supersets and circuits are meant to have NO rest between movements. When there is just 1 number and 1 letter for a movement that movement is done on its own, and you are allowed to rest between sets. Don’t worry as you progress, you’ll start to train with heavier weights while starting to feel even more explosive and in better condition!
Rest periods: I’m a firm believer that “set” rest periods are a waste of time. There’s no need to keep checking a clock unless you are doing a timed workout or circuit interval. The main thing you should focus on is to ATTACK THE TIME! Push yourself through the workouts each and every time. Rest as need be, but the truth is, you’ll be getting into such great shape, and it will be hard for you to slow down!
TravisStoetzel.com Sinister Strength
General rules of thumb when it comes to rest periods:
• When we train HEAVY – rest just a little bit more… 60-‐90 secs TOPS
• When we train LIGHT – take little to NO rest… less than 45 secs
• When we train POWER – rest up as much needed to go near 100%...
The only exception is when we train for total EXPLOSION and SPEED (POWER). This is where we want to train at 100%. These sets are usually at the beginning of your workout (sprints, starts, jumps, ect) Rest as much as you need to for these sets and try to perform each round at 100%. You DO NOT want to train slowly when training for POWER and SPEED.
Submax – When you see “submax” listed next to an exercise, this simply means to avoid going to failure. The best way to keep your progress going further while avoiding plateaus or step back is to keep your reps under you maximum limit or avoiding failure.
If you’re new to this concept, you probably do not understand but trust me, leave a few reps left in your bank when doing different movements such as pushups, pull ups, rows, ect, when you get close to failure, cut the set off.
It’s better to stay fresh and keep the movements fast and explosive. When you start to really grind reps out slow, just stop your set there. In time, you’ll feel and see the difference in what submax training will do for you.
The ONLY time you should really go to failure with different submax movements is when it’s your last week on that particular workout.
You main goal should be to break your own records each and every session! The best way we can make sure we do that is with the next ESSENTIAL note…
E.M.O.T.M: This stands for Every Minute on The Minute and it’s an interval you will be using to build up some serious strength and endurance all at once!
Basically, you’ll hit your movements for the allotted amount of reps and whatever time you have left at the end of your sets will serve as your rest period.
Recording Your Workouts: Make sure you are writing down each and every workout so you can see the weights you used, the reps you did, and the sets you completed.
It would be wise for you to get a notebook and make it your new HARDCORE training workbook OR use the specialized printout work sheets you received with this program!
TravisStoetzel.com Sinister Strength
If you’re not writing anything down, then you are wondering around blind!
We must be able to measure your progress and the BEST way to do this is by writing and recording every training session we do down in a workbook.
I would record the following:
• total time workout took to complete
• reps completed on each movement
• sets completed
• and exercises completed
Simply copy down the workouts listed below and record as you go! You’ll be amazed at the progress you make overtime! Writing the workouts down and keeping track will serve as a great source of motivation so make sure you do it!
Make NO EXCUSES here! This needs to be done for you to be most successful!
