GETTING STARTED
WORKOUTS
WORKOUT DAYS
Each phase of the program has workout days. Repeat the workout days without skipping a day. For example, in phase 1,
after day 4, your next workout would be day 1 again. Do not skip around workout days. Rest days are up to you. I recommend
working out 5 days a week and resting 2 days if you want a quick jump-start into the program. Minimum workout
days would be 4 days per week.
EXAMPLE OF A SCHEDULE FOR PHASE 1
TIP: All you have to remember
is what day you worked
on last, this way it is easier
to keep up with the routine
instead of trying to match
the workout days specifically
with the days of the week.
REST DAYS FOR ALL 4 WORKOUT PHASES
Take rest days according to how you feel. Minimum of 1 rest day a week is a must. Most will find the need to take more
rest days during the first 2 weeks of training. Afterwards, your muscles will start to adapt to the workouts and will respond
with less soreness. Getting 6-8 hours of sleep per night is a must for proper muscle recovery. You can still work your muscle
if you feel a little soreness just as long as it doesn’t feel painful.

WORKOUTS
GETTING STARTED (CONT’D)
REST TIMES BETWEEN SETS
Every phase has specific rest times. I encourage you to use a stopwatch to track the amount of rest between every set.
This will ensure your heart rate stays elevated and that you have high intensity workouts every time to burn more body fat.
To increase the intensity of your workouts, you can shorten the rest time between your sets OR increase your weight to
further challenge yourself.
SUPERSETS
Supersets are 2 exercises performed back to back with no rest in between. They can be on opposing muscles. For example:
back & chest; biceps & triceps; quads & hamstrings. Supersets can also be done doing 2 exercises back to back on
the same muscle group. For example: Bench Press & Dumbbell Flys; Barbell Curls & Dumbbell Hammer Curls.
TRISETS
Same as a superset, except it’s 3 exercises in a row nonstop instead of 2.
AMOUNT OF WEIGHT TO USE
Pick a weight that you can perform the repetition needed for that exercise. If you started the program, its always safer to
start off a little lighter and pyramid your way up as the sets progress. Make sure when you establish a weight used for an
exercise, make sure it is heavy enough where you have difficulty finishing the last rep of the set.
TILL FAILURE
This means do the maximum number of repetitions of an exercise until your muscles fail, or can’t do anymore.

Shock and build muscles, especially around the core area to prevent the fat from returning.
Repeat all 3 workout days 4 times for 12 days.
Workout 12 days straight without taking any rest days during this phase.
Now you need to eat 5 Zero Willpower Eating System meals per day.
Use the WEIGHT column to write the weight you lift. It should be heavier than the previous
phases since the reps are much lower.
TIP: Must keep very strict form in this phase due to the decrease in reps on your exercises and increase in weight used. Make sure you increase
weight gradually, pyramiding up from the 1st set of the exercise to prevent injury. If you’re unsure if the weight is too heavy, have a spotter spot you
until you are confident on the amount of weight you can handle for the amount of reps you need.

WEIGHT:
WORKOUTS
CONTINUOUSLY
Loose the last pounds to reveal the sixpack abs and maintain the shape you want to be in.
You will continue to perform the workouts in this phase as a maintenance program.
Workout 5-6 days and rest 1-2 days each week during this phase.
Now you need to fully implement 5-6 Zero Willpower Eating System meals per day.
If you’re satisfied with your body at the end of the 12 weeks, keep using the same amount of
weight to maintain. If you want to become more lean and ripped, continue to add weight to
your exercises.
TIP: As you increase the weight you lift, DO NOT INCREASE THE AMOUNT OF CALORIES YOU EAT ON A DAILY BASIS so your body can continue
to burn more body fat. If you do increase your calories as you get stronger, you will add more muscle mass, but your fat burning will stop.

Exercise Substitution Print Out
Always try to perform the original exercises as directed in the Six Pack Shortcuts program. Only when necessary due to
not having the equipment available OR any physical or medical reason should you substitute the Listed Exercises
(which is the original exercises in the program)
Use the No Weight Alternatives Exercise only if you don’t have the equipment to the Weighted Alternatives. Remember,
weighted exercises stimulate more muscle growth than body weight exercises. Because of that, when replacing the
Listed Exercise with a No Weight Exercise, PERFORM 2 EXTRA SETS for that exercise and perform all sets to
failure.
If you can’t find an alternative exercise to substitute, email me at mike@sixpackshortcuts.com
If you do not have access to a gym, most of the Listed Exercises can be substituted with an adjustable Dumbbell Set, Flat
Bench, Door Frame Chin Up Bar OR Olympic Size Bench Press(with weighted Plates and a Olympic size Barbell) and a
Door Frame Chin Up Bar.
