You will perform your sets as followed.  
 
There will be 3 sets per exercise: the interconnection, iso-mass, and breakdown set.  
 
Each set plays a crucial role in the training program. It is recommended that you take
notes with you to the gym to maintain consistency. 
 
Set 1 is called the interconnection set.  
 
The purpose of this set is not only to warm up the muscles, but to focus on the mind
and muscle connection. The rep range for the interconnection set is 12-15. The weight
should not be so light that you can perform more than 15 reps but not so heavy that
you can’t reach the 12 rep mark. Rest 30-45 secs before starting set 2. 
 
Set 2 is the iso-mass set.  
 
The purpose of this set is to recruit more motor units and increase time under tension.
This leads to growth and strength in the muscle. The rep range is 10-12 with the
same principals as the interconnection set. The weight should not so light that you can
perform more than 12 reps but not so heavy that you cannot reach 10 reps. Remem-
ber, controlled movement at all times. It is called weight lifting not weight jerking.  
 
Right after the last rep you will hold an isometric contraction at the mid-point of the
range for 10 seconds. When doing the isometric hold focus on the mind and muscle
connection while flexing the muscle as hard as possible. You should be shaking like a
leaf from the amount of energy being used. Rest 45-60 secs before starting set 3.

Set 3 is the breakdown set.  
 
The purpose of this set is to finish breaking down the muscle tissue, which leads to
the muscle growing back bigger and stronger. For this set you’ll use the same weight
used for the iso-mass set and perform as many reps as possible before form  
breakdown (a.k.a performance failure). This is where you leave it all. Keeping your
form tight on this set is crucial. Stay focused on the mind and muscle connection.
Rest 3-5 mins before starting next exercise. 
 
How To Progress 
 
The Interconnection Set:  
 
In the Isometric Mass Workout program you’ll notice that the Interconnection Set  
prescribes a rep range (i.e. 12-15).  
 
The goal with this set is to start off with a weight that you can just barely perform for
the maximum number of reps (15).  
 
Once you’re able to complete the maximum number of reps, then and only then will
you increase the weight the following week. Add 5 pounds to the bar and aim for 15
reps, if you manage to hit all 15 reps, an increase in weight the following week is  
warranted. If, however, you fail to reach the maximum number of reps, keep the
weight the same next week and try again.  
 
For Example:  
Week 1: 45 lbs x 15 Reps 
And so forth.

Iso-Mass Sets: 
 
The iso-mass set prescribes a rep range (i.e. 10-12) and 10 second isometric hold.
The goal with this set is to start off with a weight that you can just barely perform for
the maximum number of reps (12) and 10 second isometric hold.  
 
Once you’re able to complete the maximum number of reps, while still being able to
complete a 10 second isometric hold, then and only then will you increase the weight
the following week.  
 
Add 5 pounds to the bar and aim for 12 reps, if you manage to hit all 12 reps while be-
ing able to complete the 10 second isometric hold, an increase in weight the following
week is warranted. If, however, you fail to reach the maximum number of reps—or fail
to complete to 10 second hold—keep the weight the same next week and try again. 
 
For Example: 
Week 1: 25 lbs x 12 Reps + 10 Second Iso 
Week 4: 35 lbs x 10-12 Reps + 10 Second Iso 
And so forth. 
 
Breakdown sets:  
 
During this set you will use the same exact weight as the iso-mass sets.  
 
If that results in using the same exact weight as the previews week, then your goal is
simply to increase the number of reps you are able to perform. For example, if you
where able to perform 13 reps with the prescribed weight, then your goal would be to
do 14 reps or more the following week.  
 
On the other hand, if you had to increase the weight due to achieving the rep goal  
during the iso-mass set the previous week, then your goal with the breakdown set is
simply to perform as many sets as possible with the new weight.
