“I Fear Only My Program” IS AN EXPERIMENTAL PROGRAM, which requires a fully equipped gym.

Made through extensive research and testing by Morrow Shore’s Raven, a trained bodybuilding coach.

This post should be taken as inspiration at best; please consult a local coach for your actual program.

The program’s purpose is to maximize muscle growth through a comprehensive mix of proven techniques.

Perfectly follow exercise forms and be paranoid about it.

• Check your neck, keep it relaxed and straight (continuation of your spine).
• Check your spine, keep it straight.
• Don’t bend your neck to look at your body parts; use the mirror if possible.

At no point should tendons or joints hurt.

If any sudden pain is felt during any exercise, stop immediately and ask for attention.

If a day’s target muscle group is sore, delay the entire program until it is no longer.

There is a 45~90 seconds rest between sets. There is no rest between reps.

Concentric and Eccentric motion should each take 1~1.5 seconds.
So each repetition should take between 2 and 3 seconds unless specified.

Avoid hyperextension of limbs. Whether it is your legs or arms, always have them slightly bent.

Adjust weights in a way that the mentioned set and rep would be the maximum you can do of that exercise. In other words, the last rep should really be the last rep you can do.

For example, if there is a 3x 12x exercise, you must NOT be able to do even 2 more reps after finishing 3 sets of 12 reps.

This program is focused on volume. Exercises could change from 3x12x to 4x5x and from 3x9x to 3x4x for power.

Repetition maximum is presumed %60~75 for volume, and %75~90 for power.

“Weighted” means the exercises must be done with weights such as barbell or dumbbells, even if its conventionally done without weights.

“Check exercises” are to see if the weights were adjusted well; If 3x reps or more of a check exercise can be done, the selected weights were too light in at least 2 exercises of that session.

Important Disclaimer

It’s perhaps important to re-iterate what was mentioned in the beginning.

You should NEVER blindly follow programs that you find online; workout programs should be developed over time, and tailored specifically for your current body state & talent.

Following a “general” program by dubious online characters, or lord forbid, from reddit or 4chan, may bring irreversible damage or changes in body proportion, especially if you’re not a veteran.

You should always take online workout programs as mere inspirations, and discuss them with your local coach to develop a custom program that suits you.
