THE OOFA METHOD™ Chapter 6: INTERMEDIATE TRAINING Step 2: The Art of Exhaustion "With strength and determination you can do anything you want in life, as long as you believe in yourself, because if you don't, no one else will." - Arnold Schwarzenegger Now, considering your experience with the Beginner Weight Training Routine and proficiency in major compound movements, it’s time to crank up the intensity. We're not talking about the weight you lift, but the Rate of Perceived Exertion (RPE)–how hard each rep feels. The harder a rep feels, the more impact it has on your muscles, which means your muscles are more likely to grow. This is why reaching failure during your training is so valuable. A failed final rep means that you needed more than 100% intensity of effort to complete the rep, this is what we call training to failure. This level of effort is crucial to stimulate growth for intermediate lifters. Some might argue that growth stimulation is achievable at around 80 to 90% intensity of effort, but really, the only definitive measures are 0% and 100%. Later on, as you progress into the Advanced Training Routines, we'll introduce additional High-Intensity Training Techniques that will help you push past failure to help keep the muscles growing, even after they’ve adapted to failure training. Training to Failure Precautions: Tread Carefully - When training to failure, caution is key. Begin by doing this on the last set of each body part for 1 to 3 months. Then, gradually shift to training the last set of each exercise and then every set for the remainder of the time spent on the intermediate routine. Proper Technique - The role of proper form in training to failure is paramount. Unfortunately, what you’ll often witness in the gym is people training to failure, but altering their form to help them complete a rep or set, increasing the risk of injury and taking the tension off the muscle you're trying to work. Hence, mastering the Art of Failure is critical to avoid injuries and boosting your results in the gym. To do this you will need to do an exercise to failure without altering your form. The art involves resisting your body’s natural tendencies and ensuring flawless form even during the toughest moments of your workout. Master this, and you'll surpass 90% of gym-goers. Range of Motion Matters - Full range of motion is pivotal. Some folks lift weights that are too heavy to allow a full range of motion, which involves fully contracting and then stretching the muscle. The weight you lift is not directly proportional to the muscle you build. Therefore, it’s essential to use weights that permit full contraction and stretching of the muscle. For instance, during lat pulldowns, ensure you're contracting your back at the bottom and allowing a full stretch at the top. Timing and Pace: Rest Between Sets - Your rest period between sets should range from 3 to 10 minutes, depending on the exercise. For squats, an 8-10 minute rest is not unusual. However, for most compound exercises, it’s ideal to rest for no more than 4 minutes, and for isolation exercises, no more than 3 minutes. Should you incorporate high-intensity techniques, feel free to add an extra 1-2 minutes. Mind-Muscle Connection - The mind-muscle connection is a vital component during exercise. It’s your body’s ability to efficiently contract a muscle to its peak. When strong, the mind-muscle connection facilitates muscle isolation and allows for maximum contraction. Practicing posing and flexing before and after exercises can significantly improve this connection. The better the connection, the greater the gains! Rep Range - Observe people in the gym and you'll notice many performing far too few reps from 1-8, or performing far too many anywhere more than 15. However, this is not optimal for muscle growth. They do this because it is easier to train hard on lower rep ranges, but unfortunately, If you train at these lower rep ranges you are forced to use a weight that is too heavy for you to feel the mind-muscle connection with the muscle that you are attempting to train. If you train past 15 reps you will most likely reach failure due to cardiovascular limitations, rather than muscular limitations. The Golden Zone The Golden Zone lies between 8-15 reps, ensuring proper stimulation without the risk of injury. Lower rep ranges often lead to heavier weights which can hinder the mind-muscle connection. Going below the golden rep range drastically increases your risk of injury with no real benefit for hypertrophy. The ‘Top Set’ Strategy This strategy involves starting with the heaviest weight for your first set and lowering the weight for subsequent sets. This ensures maximum effective reps on your heaviest set and keeps you in the Golden Zone on every set. In a conventional approach to weight training, people tend to gradually increase their weight with each set. For example, if someone is assigned 3 working sets in an exercise, they might start with the lightest weight in the first set, increase the weight for the second, and use the heaviest weight for the third and final set. However, this is not the most effective method. The issue with incrementally increasing the weight is that your muscles become fatigued before you even get to your heaviest set, which limits the number of effective reps you can perform with the maximum weight. Ideally, you should aim to reach failure within the 8-15 rep range (the Golden Zone) on every set. To optimize your training, the 'Top Set' strategy suggests that you should start with the heaviest weight in your first set. By doing this, your muscles are at their freshest and can exert maximum effort to lift the heaviest weight for more reps. Here’s how it works: 1. First Set: Begin with the heaviest weight you can lift while maintaining proper form and take it to failure. Make sure that you reach failure within the 8-15 rep range. Example: 185 lbs x 14 reps 2. Second Set: For the second set, slightly reduce the weight by about 5-10 lbs. Since your muscles are already fatigued from the first set, you'll naturally perform fewer reps in this set. Example: 175 lbs x 12 reps 3. Third Set: For the third and final set, reduce the weight once again. This allows you to maintain good form and continue to work your muscles effectively despite fatigue. Example: 165 lbs x 10 reps By employing the Top Set strategy, you are ensuring that your muscles are subjected to maximum overload when they are at their strongest. Additionally, ensure that your subsequent sets remain in the “golden zone” of hypertrophy. Remember to always listen to your body and maintain proper form throughout the sets to avoid injury. Applying all of this information into the Intermediate Training Routine found in the next step is absolutely vital to make sure that you are getting everything out of every set. If any of the previously mentioned points are neglected you will be leaving gains on the table. Make sure to keep them in mind while performing your workout. We hope you’re excited to embark on this intermediate journey! Remember, dedication, technique, and smart training are your tickets to success. Let’s get those gains!

THE OOFA METHOD™ Chapter 2: BODY MECHANICS Step 3: The Shoulders The shoulders are the commanding hubs of mobility and strength. They serve as the gateway to a wide range of movements, responsible for most of your upper body actions. Let's explore the components of the shoulders and effective exercises to train them: 1. Anterior Deltoid (Front Delt) Function: Moves arm vertically and to the front. Example Exercises: Front Raises, Military Press, Dumbbell Press, Arnold Press 2. Medial Deltoid (Middle Delt) Function: Moves arm vertically and to the side. Example Exercises: Dumbbell Lateral Raises, Cable Lateral Raises, Upright Rows 3. Posterior Deltoid (Rear Delt) Function: Moves arm vertically and to the back. Example Exercises: Ski Poles, Rear Delt Raises, Face Pulls 4. Rotator Cuff [subsurface] Function: Stabilizes the shoulder joint and allows for a wide range of shoulder movements. Example Exercises: Any deltoid exercise.

THE OOFA METHOD™ Chapter 2: BODY MECHANICS Step 4: The Arms The arm muscles are divided into two main groups: muscles of the upper arm and muscles of the forearm. Here is a detailed analysis of these muscles and how to exercise them through weight training: 1. Biceps (Front Upper Arms) Function: Flexes the elbow and supinates the forearm, which means turning the palm upward or forward. The long head is activated when your elbows are in front of your torso. The short head is activated when your elbows are behind your torso. A. Bicep Long Head (Upper Bicep) Example Exercises: Dumbbell Curls, Barbell Curls, Hammer Curls, Cable Curls, Concentration Curls, Chin-Ups B. Bicep Short Head (Lower Bicep) Example Exercises: Incline Dumbbell Curls, Incline Hammer Curls, Incline Cable Curls 2. Triceps (Rear Upper Arms) Function: Extends the elbow and straightens the arm. The long head is activated when your elbows are above your head. The short head is activated when your elbows are below your head. The medial head is located under the long head and assists the other two heads. A. Tricep Long Head (Rear Tricep) Example Exercises: Overhead Tricep Extensions, French Press, Single-Arm Overhead Extensions, Close Hand Push-Ups B. Tricep Medial Head (Middle Tricep) Example Exercises: Close-Grip Bench Press, Diamond Push-Ups C. Tricep Short Head (Front Tricep) Example Exercises: Tricep Pushdowns, Skullcrushers, Dumbbell Kickbacks, Close-Grip Bench Press, Close Hand Push-Ups 3. Brachialis (Middle of the Upper Arm) Function: Flexes the elbow joint to move your forearm. Example Exercises: Hammer Curls 4. Brachioradialis (Front Forearm) Function: Flexes the elbow, especially when the forearm is in a neutral position. Example Exercises: Forearm Squeezes, Reverse-Grip Dumbbell Curls, Reverse-Grip Barbell Curls, Hammer Curls, Dumbbell Wrist Extensions, Pull-Up Bar Static Hang 5. Pronator Teres (Rear Forearm) Function: Pronates the forearm (turning it so that the palm faces down) and assists in flexing the elbow. Example Exercises: Forearm Squeezes, Dumbbell Wrist Curls, Barbell Wrist Curls, Pull-Up Bar Static Hang 6. Flexor Carpi Radialis and Ulnaris, Palmaris Longus, Flexor Digitorum Superficialis (General Forearm Assistants) Function: Contracts the wrist and fingers. Example Exercises: Forearm Squeezes 7. Extensor Carpi Radialis and Ulnaris, Extensor Digitorum (General Forearm Assistants) Function: Extends the wrist and fingers. Example Exercises: Forearm Squeezes

THE OOFA METHOD™ Chapter 4: ULTIMATE NUTRITION GUIDE Step 4: Weight Gain Guide (skip if cutting) "Many bodybuilders sell themselves short. Erroneously attributing their lack of satisfactory progress to a poverty of the requisite genetic traits, instead of to their irrational training and dietary practices, they give up training. Don't make the same mistake" - Mike Mentzer Become a Gain-iac Building muscle while minimizing fat gain is a common goal for many individuals engaged in resistance training. Achieving this balance requires a strategic approach to nutrition that emphasizes the right macronutrient ratios, timing of meals, and overall caloric intake. In this guide, we will explore the best nutritional strategies and provide a sample diet plan to support muscle growth while minimizing fat accumulation. To gain muscle mass, it's important to consume an appropriate amount of calories. Being in a caloric surplus is a fundamental principle of muscle gain (eating more than your caloric maintenance level). A caloric surplus can be achieved by increasing portion sizes and focusing on nutrient-dense foods. It's important to prioritize foods that are rich in protein, carbohydrates, and healthy fats, as they provide the necessary nutrients for muscle growth. Establishing healthy habits, such as balanced portion sizes, nutrient-dense eating, and regular strength training, are more likely to lead to lasting muscle gain results compared to relying solely on a specific diet. There are many people online pushing the idea that you can eat whatever you want during a bulking period–stuffing your face with Big Macs, ice cream, doughnuts, sodas, etc... This can work, however, it is far from optimal. This causes you to have less energy in the gym, a more cluttered mind, and less healthy body. The proper way to bulk, which is the most optimal way for facilitating muscle growth, is to eat healthy whole foods which are packed with carbohydrates, protein, and fats. Clean Bulking vs. Dirty Bulking “Clean bulking” refers to the practice of going into a slight caloric surplus while ‘eating clean’, with the goal of minimizing the build up of body fat. This contrasts with "dirty bulking" where you consume excessive amounts of calories without paying much attention to the nutritional quality of the food, with the goal of gaining as much muscle mass as possible. Clean bulkers aim to build muscle without gaining significant fat. Dirty bulkers aim to build muscle and fat, planning on cutting the fat in the future. Clean bulking is always the answer and is what we utilize in the OOFA Bulk-Cut Cycle. A slight caloric surplus is recommended with no more than 0.5 lbs of bodyweight gain a week–focusing on consuming macro and micronutrient rich foods. This ensures that your body has the highest quality building blocks to erect new muscle tissue with and is always properly fueled with quality calories for your next workout. 9 Reasons ABSOLUTELY NOT to Dirt Bulk: 1. It often leads to excessive fat gain along with muscle, which can detract from the aesthetic goals of bodybuilding. 2. Consuming large amounts of unhealthy food can lead to nutrient imbalances, as junk food might be calorie-dense but often lacks essential vitamins and minerals. 3. Consuming excessive saturated fats and sugars, common in a dirty bulk, can lead to an unhealthy increase in cholesterol and triglyceride levels. 4. A diet high in processed foods and low in fiber can negatively affect digestion and gut health. 5. Gaining too much weight too quickly can put undue stress on the joints and tendons, potentially leading to injuries. 6. It can lead to insulin resistance and increase the risk of developing type 2 diabetes. 7. It may result in poor workout performance and hinder recovery due to a lack of quality nutrients. 8. It can create an unhealthy relationship with food and contribute to the development of eating disorders. 9. Transitioning from a dirty bulk phase to a cutting phase is more difficult and time-consuming, as there is more fat to lose while trying to maintain muscle mass. Putting It All Together for Bulking: 1. Calculate your maintenance calories and eat in a slight caloric surplus, around 100-200 above your maintenance level. 2. Ensure that you are consuming a clean diet, eating micro and macronutrient rich whole foods. 3. Plan meals that are rich in nutrients and have a balanced macronutrient profile. 4. Monitor your progress closely, ensuring that you are gaining muscle without significantly increasing body fat. 5. Bulking should be done cautiously and for a limited time. Extended periods of excess caloric consumption can have adverse effects on your metabolism and hormone levels. Importance of an Eating Schedule: To achieve any physical goal, establishing a structured eating schedule is essential. While it may initially seem restrictive, recognizing the effectiveness of this schedule can help overcome this perception. Eating Schedule for Bulking: Begin your day by consuming a hearty breakfast (if you workout in the morning, have a snack beforehand, and then have a larger breakfast afterwards). This step is invaluable as it immediately boosts your daily caloric intake, setting the stage for subsequent hunger cues throughout the day. By incorporating multiple meals and consuming more calories, you’ll easily begin gaining muscle mass. Additionally, it is vital to have a substantial lunch to ensure you meet your caloric targets. Plan your lunch well in advance of bedtime to allow ample time for a satisfying dinner, enabling you to maintain a consistent intake of food. Now that you’re armed with all of this knowledge on how to properly bulk to ensure minimal body fat build up and optimize muscle growth we will provide you with some good lean bulking foods and recipes to help boost your results.

THE OOFA METHOD™ Chapter 5: ULTIMATE MINDSET GUIDE In this chapter, we will delve into an aspect of sculpting your dream physique that is just as important as the training itself. Learning to control your mind and unlocking your full potential. No matter how optimized your training and nutrition may be, without a disciplined and focused mindset, your efforts may go in vain. This chapter emphasizes the significance of taming your mind and establishing a strong foundation of discipline. “Confidence comes from victory, but strength comes from struggle” - Arnold Schwarzenegger Regardless if you have your training and nutrition perfectly optimized, it will mean nothing if you have not trained your mind. If you avoid the gym when you’re not in the mood to go, which will be most days, you will NEVER achieve your goals. Before you even step foot into the gym, you must tame your mind and learn discipline. A highly effective way of starting is with a morning routine. Our OOFA Morning Routine begins the moment you wake up.
