WHAT’S NEW?
Everything! It’s a whole new program!
Everything! It’s a whole new program!
Pure Bodybuilding Phase 2 is a brand new program that continues to focus on maximizing hypertrophy. This new phase should feel like a very natural progression from Phase 1; keeping the fundamental principles the same, while switching up exercises and techniques to keep things exciting and fresh.
Expanded weak points table
Expanded weak points table
One of the most common bits of feedback from Phase 1 was that people wanted even more flexibility to choose their weak point. In Phase 2, we’ve doubled the amount of muscle groups you can choose to focus on!
New exercises
New exercises
Phase 2 includes many new exercises, such as: Meadows Incline DB Lateral Raises, Bottom-Half Smith Machine Squats, Smith Machine Deficit Rows, Super-Stretch Reverse Pec Deck, Bottom-Half Low Incline DB Presses, and Seated Super-Bayesian High Cable Curls.
Unlike in Phase 1, the Big 3 are even featured as substitution options for seamless integration into the program, if you don’t want to completely abandon the powerlifts.
Greater focus on lengthened partials
Greater focus on lengthened partials
With more and more research coming out in support of training at long muscle lengths for hypertrophy, Phase 2 features this as the primary intensity technique used throughout the program. Of course, you’ll still find a few other techniques sprinkled throughout as well, including weighted static holds, dropsets, and static stretching.
WHAT’S INCLUDED
WHAT YOU WILL NEED
This is a pure bodybuilding program so we will be using more cable and machine-based exercises than previous programs. However, if you don’t have access to certain pieces of exercise equipment, I’ve still got you covered with super effective dumbbell and barbell substitution options.
To run the program exactly as written, without any exercise subs, you’d ideally have access to a commercial gym that includes a cable stack and common machines. However, as long as you’re willing to make some substitutions, you can run this program with very basic gym equipment, including an adjustable bench, dumbbells, and a barbell.
There’s also a section included in the program for optional gym gear that can help you further maximize your training. These suggestions include straps, wrist cuffs, chalk, and knee sleeves. While I personally use this gear in my own training, none of it is mandatory.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Do I need to run Phase 1 first?
Do I need to run Phase 1 first?
Ideally, yes. I wrote the programs to build on one another, so I'd recommend running them in order if you can. If you're an experienced trainee and really want to hop in with Phase 2, feel free, but keep in mind it is slightly more advanced than Phase 1. You can pick up Phase 1 here.
Does this program come with a nutrition guide?
Does this program come with a nutrition guide?
Yes. I decided to add the Pure Hypertrophy Booklet as a free bonus in this program. This will really help you make the most of your time spent in the gym!
How long should each workout take?
How long should each workout take?
Each workout should take you approximately 60-90 minutes from start to finish, including the warm-up. If you roughly adhere to the rest periods and warm-up provided, your workouts really shouldn’t take longer than 1 hour. One of the advantages of pure bodybuilding training is that the workouts tend to be much more time-efficient than when training for powerlifting simultaneously.
How many days per week will I be in the gym?
How many days per week will I be in the gym?
You will be in the gym 4-6 days per week, depending on which version of the program you run.
Both full body and upper/lower versions of the program are 5-day-per-week routines, however, they can both be easily modified into a 4-day-per-week split. There are specific instructions on how to do this within the program.
Since the push/pull/legs split is asynchronous, you will be in the gym 5-6 days per week. However, the program can be modified into a 4-day-per-week split, if that fits your schedule better.
Is this program suitable for women and men?
Is this program suitable for women and men?
Yes! If your goal is to build your best physique, this program will help you do it, regardless of your gender. As an additional bonus, there is weak point individualization in this program, meaning that you can give extra attention to your glutes, shoulders, quads, lats, etc. or whatever body part you are trying to develop the most.
Is this program suitable for beginners?
Is this program suitable for beginners?
If you are brand new to the gym, I would suggest running through my Fundamentals Program at least once before advancing on to this program. That said, this program is designed to be suitable for people of all training experience levels, as long as the goal is maximum muscle growth. I wrote this program with intermediate-advanced trainees in mind, however, it will be effective across a broad range of training ages.
Do I need access to a gym? Can I run this program with a home gym?
Do I need access to a gym? Can I run this program with a home gym?
You will find more cable and machine exercises in this program than in other programs of mine, so having access to a commercial gym would be ideal. However, to accommodate those with limited equipment, I’ve included effective dumbbell and barbell substitution options for every machine/cable exercise. This way you'll still get a top-tier workout every session, no matter what your gym situation is.
