Introduction Well, here we
are again. Hopefully you’ve completely reviewed the entire OPTIMUM ANABOLICS PROGRAM and you’re ready to dig your heels in and start putting on some MAJOR MUSCLE! If you’ve already read the entire manual and understand how ALL of the 8 ANABOLIC FACTORS and HYPER-ADAPTIVE CYCLING are combined to drive your body’s super-growth hormones through the roof, then you’re at the RIGHT PLACE! But if you’ve decided to ‘skip ahead’ to this BONUS PROGRAM, in hopes you were going to find a ‘magic’ exercise routine, then you just fell into the same TRAP that most other bodybuilders fall into…thinking that muscle is made SOLELY from the work you do in the GYM! SORRY TO DISAPPOINT YOU! While the workout I’ve provided in this bonus program will give you EXACTLY the right stimuli for targeting your muscles for growth, AND allow you to choose the MOST EFFECTIVE exercises custom-tailored to your needs and wants, AND provide you with a STEP-BY-STEP plan for getting the most from the OPTIMUM ANABOLICS PROGRAM, it’s going to take far more than the best workout in the world to move you toward your goal of packing on slabs of ROCK HARD MUSCLE! If you haven’t read every word of the previous material, then you need to cart your ass right on back to PAGE 1 of the OPTIMUM ANABOLICS PROGRAM and dig in! A Word From The “Muscle Nerd”… “Don’t take this lightly guys. Most likely, you’ve purchased this manual because you were frustrated with the LACK of results from your current training program. You’ll be frustrated with THIS ONE as well if you don’t FIRST learn how all of the growth factors are combined into one complete ASS- KICKING program!” WWW. GROW – MUSCLE – NOW .COM © 2004 CQC International, LLC

For the rest
of you… LET’S GET STARTED! As I discussed in the OPTIMUM ANABOLICS PROGRAM, most bodybuilders are currently trying to grunt their way out of the undertow of CHRONIC OVERTRAINING patterns. If you’re currently one of these people, starting the workout portion of this program will just put you DEEPER into the dreaded CATABOLIC ZONE! As I directed you earlier, If you’ve already been busting your ass in the gym for over 2 months, training 3-4 days or more per week… TAKE A WEEK OFF! You need to give your body a good break before you can effectively program your body for growth using the first 3-week PROGRESSIVE LOAD PHASE! If you’re relatively NEW to bodybuilding, or it’s been a WHILE since you’ve been in the gym, it’s time to simply introduce your body to the elevated stress loads it’ll be handling. A Word From The “Muscle Nerd”… “If you think you can just jump right into the workout program from a ‘cold start’ you’ll only be setting yourself up for a potential MAJOR INJURY! Your body needs a little time to effectively prepare your muscles, joints and ligaments for the heavier stuff that’s coming up.” Now just a couple of thoughts to get you on the right track… WWW. GROW – MUSCLE – NOW .COM © 2004 CQC International, LLC

Whether you’re beginning
with the pre-program workout or, if you’re more experienced, going right to the OPTIMUM ANABOLIICS WORKOUT, do NOT be tempted to do MORE than the prescribed number of SETS, REPETITIONS, or EXERCISES during ANY of the workout phases! Each day’s workload is SPECIFICALLY DESIGNED to support the HYPER- ADAPTATION process. If you’re in your PROGRESSIVE LOAD PHASE and don’t feel like you got enough of a workout from the 3 sets that were prescribed, DON’T decide to do ANOTHER SET! Remember that you’re actually PROGRAMMING your body to expect CONTINUED increases in workloads in order to force a HYPER-ADAPTIVE response. Likewise, if you’re into your HYPER-ADAPTIVE CYCLE and going 2 - 3 REPS SHORT of failure seems a little ‘odd’ to you, DON’T take it upon yourself to decide that MUSCULAR EXHAUSTION is the ONLY way to go and knock out that extra rep! Bottom line? You’ll fall FAR SHORT of your goals if you STRAY from the master plan…TRUST ME! On the following pages you’ll find 4 TOOLS to get you on your way… 1. Another peek at a 24-week example of the OPTIMUM ANABOLICS PROGRAM’S HYPER-ADAPTIVE CYCLING process; 2. A CHECKLIST for getting started; 3. An INSTRUCTIONAL GUIDE for using this workout log; and 4.

A Word From
The “Muscle Nerd”… “Ok, let’s get into the nuts and bolts of your program... This next page is the beginning of your workout log. Use the TABLES provided to choose ONE EXERCISE to slip into each workout based upon the TABLE NUMBER listed next to each set in your daily workout log. Then follow the prescribed REST PERIODS in between each exercise and between each superset. The following example will help you understand how to interpret each day’s program… Need and example? Let’s see…referring to the first superset for DAY 1/WEEK 1, this is what it would look like if you chose the FRONT DUMBBELL RAISE and the ARNOLD PRESS from the tables you had to choose from. Follow along… Front Dumbbell Raise…12 reps then rest 1 minute Arnold Press…12 reps then rest 2 minutes Front Dumbbell Raise…10 reps then rest 1 minute Arnold Press…10 reps then rest 2 minutes Front Dumbbell Raise…8 reps then rest 1 minute Arnold Press…8 reps then rest 2 minutes Then it’s on to Superset 2 with the same rest cycle using new exercises from the tables noted. Just follow the tables STEP-BY- STEP and you CAN’T go wrong! Well, the rest is up to you! Work HARD, stay COMMITTED, and enjoy your NEW BODY!” WWW.

A Word From
The “Muscle Nerd”… “Oh yeah…I thought I would slip in a copy of the Optimum Anabolics 20-Minute High-Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) Workout as well just to REALLY turn up the thermostat of your FAT BURNING furnace on those ‘off days’. And don’t be afraid be creative with the exercises you train with. (Refer to page 60 in the Optimum Anabolics Program Manual for some alternatives.) Just make sure you’re working out at the proper INTENSITY LEVELS to reap the full rewards.” OPTIMUM ANABOLICS HIIT WORKOUT Workout Intensity Exercise Time Phase Level * Warmup Bike 5 minutes 1 Jump Rope 3 minutes 2 Treadmill 5 minutes 2 Wind Sprint * * 30 seconds 3 Workout Bike 3 minutes 2 Rowing Machine 4 minutes 2 Jump Rope 3 minutes 2 Wind Sprint 30 seconds 3 Cool Down Bike 5 minutes 1 * Intensity Levels: 1 – Breathing rhythmically, but able to carry on a full conversation 2 – Breathing deeply but able to carry on a broken conversation 3 – “Winded”! Work hard enough to feel a burn in your muscles and have to catch your breath but avoid extreme or painful exertion * * Wind Sprints: For some, this may mean an all-out “balls-to-the-wall” sprint; for others it may only be a simple light jog. Doesn’t matter! As long as you FEEL winded, you’ve done your job. A Word From The “Muscle Nerd”… “OK…enough TALK already! It’s time to see what you’re REALLY made of! ON TO DAY 1…” WWW.
