Phase2 Program

Phase 2 of the training program emphasizes low volume and high intensity, requiring 2-3 sets per exercise to failure with long rest periods. The program consists of a continuous 4-day cycle focusing on different muscle groups, with specific exercises and corrective routines to prevent imbalances. Progression is based on achieving extra reps at failure, with strict rules to ensure proper form and recovery.

PHASE 2 TRAINING PROGRAM

Low Volume | High Intensity | Failure Every Set

CORE RULES — NON NEGOTIABLE


RULE DETAIL

Volume Very low — 2-3 sets only per exercise

Intensity Every single set to complete failure — RIR 0

Rest 5-7 minutes between ALL sets

Exercises Maximum 4 per session

Progression Add weight only when extra reps at failure

Corrective Daily corrective routine — still non negotiable

Every set in Phase 2 is worth 3 sets of Phase 1. Low volume + true failure + long rest = maximum muscle fibre recruitment every
set.

THE SPLIT — CONTINUOUS 4 DAY CYCLE


DAY FOCUS MAIN LIFT

Day 1 Pull-ups + Back + Biceps Weighted Pull-ups

Day 2 Dips + Chest + Triceps Weighted Dips

Day 3 Side Delts + Rear Delts + Abs No front delt work

Day 5 Repeat from Day 1 —

FACTOR PHASE 1 PHASE 2

Volume Moderate (5 sets main) Very low (2-3 sets)

Intensity RIR 2 all sets RIR 0 — True failure

Rest 2-3 minutes 5-7 minutes

Goal Build base + fix form Maximum strength + size

Weight Bodyweight Weight belt added


DAY 1 —BACK
WEIGHTED PULL-UPS +

DAY 3 — SIDE DELTS
ABS + REAR DELTS +
Every 4th Day

■ ZERO front delt work on this day — ever. Weighted dips on Day 2 already hit front delts heavily. Training them again =
overtraining + worsened rounded shoulders.

Total session time: 50-60 mins


PROGRESSION SYSTEM
How To Keep Getting Stronger Every Session

WEIGHT PROGRESSION RULES


SITUATION ACTION

Hit same reps as last session at failure Keep same weight — not ready yet

Got 1-2 extra reps at failure Add 2.5kg next session

Got 3+ extra reps at failure Add 5kg next session

Failed to reach previous reps Drop 10% weight and rebuild

REAL WORLD EXAMPLE — WEIGHTED PULL-UPS


SESSION WEIGHT REPS AT FAILURE NEXT SESSION

Session 1 +10kg 6 reps Keep +10kg

Session 2 +10kg 7 reps Keep +10kg

Session 3 +10kg 8 reps Add 2.5kg

Session 4 +12.5kg 5 reps Keep +12.5kg

Session 5 +12.5kg 7 reps Keep +12.5kg

Session 6 +12.5kg 9 reps Add 2.5kg

Session 7 +15kg 5 reps Keep +15kg

This is exactly how you reach 100kg weighted pull-ups — slow, consistent, brutal progression over years.

LONG TERM MILESTONES


TIMEFRAME PULL-UP WEIGHT DIP WEIGHT PHYSIQUE

Month 1-2 +10-20kg +15-25kg Noticeably bigger and stronger

Month 3-4 +25-35kg +30-40kg Dramatic size increase

Month 6 +40-50kg +50-60kg Elite level physique developing

Year 1 +60-70kg +70-80kg Completely transformed

Year 2 +80-100kg +90-100kg+ Goal physique achieved


DAILYNEGOTIABLES
CORRECTIVE + NON
Still Required Every Single Day In Phase 2

Heavier loads in Phase 2 will WORSEN your posture faster if corrective work is skipped. This becomes MORE important not
less.

DAILY CORRECTIVE ROUTINE — 10 MINS


EXERCISE SETS REPS SIDE

Dead Hang Scapular Pull 3 10 LEFT only

Wall Angels 3 10 Both

Dead Bug 3 10 each Both

Glute Bridge 3 20 Both

Hip Flexor Stretch 2 45 sec Both

Right Trap Stretch 2 45 sec RIGHT only

Single Arm Hang 3 30 sec Left +10 sec extra

NON NEGOTIABLES — PHASE 2


RULE REASON

Every set is TRUE failure Not almost failure — physically cannot do another rep

Never cut rest under 5 mins CNS needs full recovery for next max effort set

Film every weighted set Form breaks under heavy load — catch it early

Left side extra set always Imbalance will return fast under heavy loading

Corrective routine daily Heavy loading accelerates postural breakdown

Eat massive — protein every meal Failure training has much higher energy demand

Sleep 9 hours minimum Recovery demand is significantly higher in Phase 2

Carry things with left hand Lifestyle habits built in Phase 1 must continue

LIFESTYLE PROTOCOL — CONTINUES FROM PHASE 1


HABIT ACTION

Carrying bags LEFT hand always

Lifting objects Left hand whenever possible

Sitting Stand + wall angels every 45 mins

Sleeping Back or left side only

Phone use Switch to left hand regularly


Phase 2 is where your goal physique is built. Trust the process, film everything, stay consistent, eat and sleep
enough. The wrestler physique you want is 2 years of THIS. ■
