MEASURING YOUR PROGRESS
We want to record where you are at before
you began this training so you can look
back and be proud of how far you have
come. When things get tough you need to
keep yourself motivated and what better
motivator than seeing your own personal
progress.
We will be measuring your progress
in 3 ways. Our new HTK8 fitness test,
Before & after photos and body part
measurements. These are optional but we
highly recommend you begin your training
by tracking at least the first two.
HTK8
Performance is a huge part of your
progress. We want to help you look the
part but, when it comes to your training,
if you are lacking in your performance it
could be a life-or-death situation.
We created this HTK8 test to easily
and effectively test key areas of your
performance and see what area you need
to put more focus on.
There are 8 key exercises for you to
perform with a scoring system to see
how you are measuring up. There is a full
rundown in your ‘members area’ when
you log in to your account, or you can
follow this link, for further info including
how to perform, scoring charts & test
calculator.
No more guessing, we want to help you
start hitting those elite standards.
chest
Should be taken from the following areas;
Take just above nipple line, around.
Stand up straight, relax and then
release all the air out of your lungs.
Now take your measurement.
Before & After photos
Yes, the typical before and after photos. It does
feel odd standing in front of the mirror posing
for a photo but trust me, they do help you stay
motivated. Remember no one else has to see
these photos if you do not wish, they are for your
eyes only so don’t be shy. Here are some best
practices to help you keep it simple;
• Use good lighting and try and keep the same
lighting for before and after images.
• Aim for a plain background when taking images.
• Take at least 3 images. One from front on, one
from side view and one from back.
• Assume a natural relaxed pose.
Note: If you feel one arm or leg is different from the other
(usually is the case) feel free to measure each arm and each
leg, just clearly document the results.
WAIST
Measure from just above your
bellybutton and around. Take this
while standing up straight.
BICEP
Taken between shoulder and elbow,
choose the widest part of your arm
(usually right in the middle).
THIGH
Taken below the butt but above your
knee. Stand up straight and pick the
widest part of your thigh.
body part measurements
For the following measurements, you can take them with the
muscles relaxed or flexed, just be sure to specify this when
recording your results.
5. Built to help you get jacked without sacrificing athletic
performance
Rotating Strength Cycle
How this works
This program is built to help you get jacked without sacrificing athletic performance. To achieve
this, we are focusing on an all round approach of building strength, mass & power while utilizing
movements that improve athleticism along with conditioning to keep your endurance levels sharp.
In this program we are utilizing a rotating strength progression for lower body & total body days
to focus on increasing your strength levels greatly in these areas. You will notice you are not
following this for upper body days as although strength is still important, hypertrophy (muscle
growth) is a greater focus here.
For your main lift on lower body & total body days, you will be rotating each week through a
different set/rep scheme.
These are as follows:
Week 1: 3 x 3 (The last set should be to complete failure so do 3 or more reps)
Week 2: 5 x 5 (The last set should be to complete failure so do 5 or more reps)
Week 3: 5 / 3 / 1+ (1 set of 5, 1 set of 3, 1 set of 1 or more reps to complete failure)
Week 4: 10 / 8 / 6+ (1 set of 10, 1 set of 8, 1 set of 6 or more reps to complete failure)
Week 5: Repeat from week 1
The reason for this is to keep your strength progressing and includes a deload week where you
lower the intensity to allow for greater strength gains in future.
After you have completed one full cycle (all 4 weeks), The goal is to take the heaviest weight you
used for the previous cycle and use it for the greater rep scheme. For example, whatever weight
you previously used for 1 rep in week 3, aim to use it for 3 reps in week 5. The weight you previously
used for the 3 reps in week 1, use it for 5 reps in week 6. This allows for constant goals / records to
aim for.

to get access.
Before you start
Strength Sets warm-up
Due to the rotating strength cycle and the different rep scheme
each week, the best thing to do is to complete 2-4 warm-up sets
slowly building up to your first set of the day.The stronger you
are, the more warm-up sets you will need to perform.These sets
shouldn’t be difficult and are used to warm-up and fire up your
central nervous system for what’s to come. Keep rest periods to
90 seconds.
15-20 reps with an empty bar
example: BB Squat
7 reps at 60% 1 RM (rep max)
5 reps at 70% 1 RM
3 reps at 80% 1 RM
HARDTOKILLFITNESS.CO #HARDTOKILLFITNESS
WORKOUT
1.) Knee squeeze x10 secs w/ 10 glute bridges.
Repeat the pair of exercises twice. (Use either a foam roller,
yoga block, rugby, Gridiron ball, etc)
2.) Standing full body twist x12
(imagine throwing a hook but with a loose relaxed body.)
3.) Groiner x5 each side
(mountain climber but with feet to the outside)
4.) Groiner thoracic twist x5 each side
5.) Hip flexor wave x6 each side
6.) Squat to toe touch x6
7.) Cossack squat x5 each side
8.) Heel to groin to standing bow pose x4 each side
9.) Band pull apart to dislocate x8
HTK MOB CIRCUIT
Every session will begin with a short
sharp warm-up to set you up for
success. The goal is to get the blood
flowing and build up a light sweat so
your muscles are ready for what’s to
come.
You will start with 5 minutes of a low
intensity aerobic activity (jogging,
jump rope, shadow boxing), then move
straight into our HTKMOB routine.
This is the only warmup routine you will
ever need (with the exception of your
strength sets), no matter what muscles
you are targeting in your workout. It
only takes 5 minutes to complete the
full routine and uses exercises that flow
together and makes sure every muscle
is activated and ready.
8. Abbreviations
Most exercises are written in full however we have abbreviated Barbell as BB Dumbbell as DB.
Rest Periods
For heavy strength sets you need to be resting 2-3 minutes between sets to allow for full recovery.
This includes all sets from the rotating strength cycle and the first heavy lifts of the upper body days.
For all other sets, we recommend resting between 60-90 seconds. This will depend on your fitness
levels. If you feel ready to go after 60 seconds, go for it. Otherwise give yourself time to recover so
you can put a greater effort into the set.
Substitutions
We recommend sticking to the prescribed programming however you may not always have the
required equipment or ability to perform the exercise how it is.
The only rule when substituting exercises is that you are replacing the exercise with a similar
movement. For example, you can switch pull-ups with machine pull-downs or DB chest press
with weighted push-ups.
Lifting Tempos
For all exercises we recommend a lifting tempo of (2-0-1-0).
What this means is you will be lowering the weight for 2 seconds, followed by 0 pause at the
bottom, then lifting the weight explosively in 1 second or less, then finally 0 pause at the top.
Although we recommend this, don’t get caught up in the exact times. If you’re focusing on a
controlled lower and explosive lift, then you’re on the right track.
HARDTOKILLFITNESS.CO #HARDTOKILLFITNESS 08
9. FAQ’s
How heavy should my weights be?
For all exercises, you want to be choosing a weight that you believe you can lift for the reps
listed while still having 1-2 reps left in the tank.
Can I add extra conditioning sessions?
Due to the program targeting extra strength mass, we don’t recommend adding many more
cardio/conditioning sessions however feel free to do 1-2 LIC sessions per week, ideally on
rest/recovery days.
What if I can’t do supersets due to the gym being too busy?
If the gym is busy you can’t do supersets as the equipment is in use, don’t fret. It’s not going
to affect your progress. Still make sure to do both exercises but complete all sets of the first
exercise, then complete all sets of the second exercise like normal.
HARDTOKILLFITNESS.CO #HARDTOKILLFITNESS 09
10. CONDITIONING part 1
LIC (LOW INTENSITY CARDIO) SESSIONS
These sessions will be 20 – 40 minutes of low intensity work. The time you spend on this
session is ultimately your choice but remember 20 minutes of continuous exercise is the
minimum. If you have extra pounds to lose, I recommend doing your sessions first thing in the
morning on an empty stomach and aiming for the total 40 minutes. You can take a pre-workout or
black coffee here but make sure you are not having sugar.
Running / Jogging – Outside or on a treadmill
Cycling – Outside or on a stationary bike
Swimming
Jump rope
Ruck – Ideally outside but wearing a plate carrier and using a treadmill on max incline also works great.
Stairmaster
Air assault bike
