Welcome to my new S61XL mass gain program! This series is for the hardcore intermediate or advanced bodybuilders who wants to gain muscle and is willing to work hard to get it. If your gains have stagnated and you are having trouble making progress this series is for you! If you hate coming up with workouts but still want to work out hard, this series is for you! The videos in this series are complete workouts, just press play and follow along.
Please do not attempt these S61XL workouts unless you have been weight lifting five days a week for at least a year. Beginners would be much better off with my beginning workout plan. It takes time to build up the tendons and joints to withstand this kind of punishment and you will get injured if you start this program before your body is ready. I’m going to focus on some unusual workouts that even a pro bodybuilder would find challenging. Most bodybuilders make the mistake of not mixing their workouts up enough and get stuck in the three-sets-of-eight rut or the one-rep-max rut. Its best to do these workouts at home but do them at a gym if thats your only option. Home is much better because you can completely eliminate the wasted time running between machines or waiting for equipment. These workouts are designed so that they only require inexpensive used weights, nothing fancy. I guarantee you that if you incorporate these unusual workouts into your training program once a month or so you will see an increase in your gains. Please make sure your expectations are reasonable though!
For best results, dont use these workouts every week but rather use them at most once a month. A good workout plan for an advanced bodybuilder might be to workout every bodypart once a week and to follow this progression
Week 1 – Lift heavy, work on one rep max and low rep sets (under 5 reps)
Week 2 – Normal, 3 sets of 8 workouts
Week 3 – Drop sets on every exercise – 3 sets of 8, no rest drop 25% weight & do 8 more reps, drop another 25% weight and do final 8 reps
Week 4 – Do S61XL workout
This insures that each muscle is constantly being bombarded and confused, a very old technique but just as valuable today as it was 200 years ago.

Scooby shows his true talent and coordination in this somewhat embarrassing outtake video, its three days later and I STILL hurt pretty bad. Please do not try this at home.
The S61XL videos are long enough without adding outtakes so I am doing this separately. I am out of disk storage and cant edit the S61XL shoulder and chest workouts I have filmed till I get a new 2TB disk drive next week.

Combination exercises work multiple large muscle groups at the same time. They are best for anyone who wants to tone up and get as much work done as possible in every workout.
In order to tone you should learn about your body fat: http://AskTheTrainer.com/all-about-body-fat.html
You can perform this exercise as shown with dual cables set on the bottom of the free motion machine or use a single cable with a triangle bar on a cable cross over machine.

This exercise, the “Box Squat” is the best for ultimate leg development. I am sure you have heard this before. But the problem with it is that most people use too much weight and they don’t go down deep enough.
Watch this video and let go your ego and I promise you that this exercise will give you results.
If you have been following me for any length of time you know that I believe that one of the most important factors in transforming your body and life is “muscle confusion”. Simply put; you can’t do the same exercises the same way all the time. You must give your muscles something new and different.

I love sqeezing exercises for chest as most of my results in chest mass and strength have come from this type exercise. I have covered the basic dumbbell fly in a previous video and here I have a cool variant that you do on an incline bench (or a board leaning against a wall). For this incline fly use a light weight, approximately 20% of what you use for incline dumbbell press. In this exercise we keep the arms straight but not locked and the arms are not perpendicular to our sides like in a normal fly, are not alongside our legs, but halfway inbetween. The palms are facing up at a 45 degree angle.
Anyone can be healthier, have more energy, sleep better, and feel better about themselves through bodybuilding. Bodybuilding doesn’t have to be expensive or take a lot of time, gyms are great but home workouts can save you time and money. A cheap dumbbell set from a garage sale or walmart is all it takes to get started with your home workouts.

Lots of people make the mistake of just doing their favorite exercises rather than doing a well rounded workout. For example, lets take the bench press people, you can spot them easily they walk around like this. Their chests are so out-of proportion strong that it seems to pull their shoulders forward like a dry leaf. Dont let this happen to you!
Its really important for the health of your shoulders and knees that all the muscles, even the small ones, are strong and in balance. With shoulders many people just like doing the pressing exercises because you can do a lot of weight with presses but as I mentioned before its important to keep things in balance. The reverse fly is one of those important exercises, it works the back of the shoulders, the traps, the upper back, and can help with posture.
The right way to do this exercise is to bend over so the back is horizontal and motionless, you can lightly touch your head to a table or bench to give tactile feedback that you are remaining motionless. From this position, we slowly raise the dumbbells up with straight arms till the dumbbells are as high as our shoulders, we hold in this position for a second, then slowly let the weight down. When the weights are in the up position, your body should look like a “T” when viewed from above , your arms should be in a line with each other not swept back like a 747 ready for takeoff.
There are some alternative ways to do this exercise. If you are concerned about your lower back, you can also do these laying face down on a bench with your head hanging out over the end of the bench. The bench needs to be tall enough that your hands dont hit the ground when you do this. If you belong to a gym a great way to do this exercise is to use pec dec machine in reverse.
Lots of ways to do this exercise incorrectly:
arch back like a hissing cat
sag your back like a banana
going too fast
bobbing your head up and down
too heavy, can’t get dumbbells up to shoulder height
go too high up risking shoulder injury
swinging weights up
using legs
arms swept back like a 747 ready for takeoff

Finally a home workout for quads that is as good as as anything a gym has to offer! Took me awhile to come up with a safe, effective exercise people can do at home for quads with simple equipment. Most home workouts for quads work only work for beginners but this exercise will work even for pro BBers with elephant legs. There are very few quad exercises I feel I can safely lift large amounts of weight and this is one of them. I love the burn and even more I love being so incredibly sore the next days that walking is difficult and going down stairs impossible 
Everybody wants a big chest and arms, you dont have to nag people to do bench press or bicep curls. Many people though neglect legs thinkng that they can just wear long pants their whole life long but thats a BBIIIIIIIIIG mistake because some day its gonna be SO hot that they have to wear short pants.
So, how do you know if you have the dreaded “peg-leg disease”? Take this simple test, measure the circumference of your chest and measure the circumference of your legs (at the largest point), take the ratio (chest/legs).
*If your chest/leg ratio is less than 1.7 – Congratulations, you have thighs of death!
* If it is between 1.7 and 1.85 then you have great legs, nicely proportioned to your torso.
* If its between 1.85 and 2.0 your legs are lagging a bit but its not embarrassing
* If its greater than 2.0 then you have severe chicken-leg syndrome.
Couple other points. Do these slowly 1-2s up down. No bouncing on the stool, its just there for safety. When you go down just touch it very lightly. Now lets talk about foot position. Some people say you should point your toes in, some say you should point them out, I say – use a natural stance. We want to minimize the stress on the knee joint so stand naturally, look at your feet – that is how they should be angled. The quads are really strong muscles so you may find that the dumbbells you are using are very heavy and you might need to use wrist straps so that you can hold them long enough – dont want to be dropping the weights.
.
I know I harp on this a lot, but its really important that you keep everything in balance. You do legs AND upper body. And when you do quads you do hamstrings too. Big quads and tinsy hamstrings not only looks stupid but its really bad for the knee joint. I actually had knee pain that was being caused from quads being too strong for the hamstrings and they were causing my kneecaps to track incorrectly, brining my hamstring strength into proportion solved the pain.
Very important point here people! Please listen to this and save hundreds of your hard earned dollars. BELIEVE NOTHING YOU SEE! There are tens of thousands of products out there promising “Gain 20lbs muscle in 8weeks, guaranteed” and they have tons of before-after photos of “satisfied customers” prooving how great their sh*t is. DONT FALL FOR IT! These people have no shame, they will do anything to get your money – including altering before-after photographs.

I was hesitant to put straight bar curls up. This is an effective biceps exercise which you should sparingly.
People who perform straight bar curls more than once every couple weeks are more likely to develop wrist problems.
Since dumbbells allow freedom of motion at your wrists they are a safer way to build your biceps. Since you cannot supinate with a barbell as you curl, dumbbells may be a better overall choice.
When you perform barbell curls, make sure you do not flex your wrists to keep the tension on your biceps.
Take a slightly wider than shoulder width grip and keep your elbows in at your sides while you perform biceps curls.
Keep your core, glutes, and shoulders tight while you perform barbell curls.
No rocking, you are not “reverse power cleaning”
Again, especially if you work a desk job with lots of computer use, you may want to refrain from using straight bar curls in your weight training program.

The “Smith machine box Squat” is an incredible exercise to make you legs grow. It is
a slightly safer version of what most would agree is the best leg exercise, the free
weight squat.
Make sure to properly warm up and stretch your glutes, hams, inner thighs, and quads
after a 10 minute power-walk on a treadmill. Go slightly below parallel, slightly tap
Your buns on the box and explode back up blowing air out. Perform 3-5 sets per week on your leg training day in the 6-12 rep range. Don’t forget the 3 taps on the last couple reps. It is a phenomenal little trick that will blast your leg growth into the next stratosphere. Also make sure to focus on recovery by cooling down and stretching after
you are done.
We are all very busy. With a little imagination, anyone can create an incredibly

helping us reach our goals. It is a “LIFESTYLE”.
I started passionately studying what lean people were doing in 1981; because my waistline was 40 inches. I have learned a lot since then. I am now in the best shape
of my life at the age of 43. My waistline is now 31 inches around.

you exactly how to eat for your body type, activity level, starting point, & your goals.
You can work-out till your blue in the face but if you do not incorporate Interval Cardio (done first thing in the morning in a fasted state), intense functional multi-joint, compound exercises, small healthy meals often with protein and carbs combined together, positive mindset, goal setting & social support (you will turn into who you hang around) you will not change your body much.
