It's just what got you into the gym? What got you started? Why are you here? Yeah, it's been on a long journey, but what honestly got me into the gym was me being insecure. So I think my first question for you is super simple. So I'm excited to have you here and really excited to kind of pick your brain today. You've placed top five in the world and I know that you've helped over a thousand people and over a hundred people play top five, including a WB FF world champion.

Since then, I’ve read the book twice more and have tried to condense my original summary for brevity. Given that a few people have plagiarized my original summary, I decided to rework mine and focus on the training formula that Matthews recommends.Do sets of 4-6 reps for nearly all exercises.Train each muscle group once every 5-7 days.

Take a week off training every 8-10 weeks.Train 2 to 3 Major Muscle Groups Per Workout Matthews opens chapter 21 with a training formula that outlines the protocol he recommends you follow:Ģ–3 | 4–6 | 9–12 | 2–4 | 45–60 | 5–7 | 8–10ġ. While there are many different ways to organize workout programs, Bigger Leaner Stronger utilizes what’s known as a “push-pull-legs” or “PPL” split, which has you train two to three major muscle groups per workout. Matthews favors a push-pull-leg routine over others, such as “full-body,” because it trains all major muscle groups, allows plenty of time for recovery, and can be easily tailored to fit different training goals, schedules, and histories.Ī push-pull-leg routine separates your major muscle groups into three different workouts: (1) chest, shoulders, and triceps (push), (2) back and biceps (pull), and (3) legs (including calves, usually). Matthews explains that this protocol is easier to understand, too. “Rep,” which is short for “repetition,” is a single raising and lowering of a weight.
