Body Beast, Asylum Vol. 1+2 Hybrid!

Alright guys i have finished Asylum Vol. 2 and i loved it! i highly recommend that program to anybody that wants to take there fitness to a whole new level! That program will work you and you will be amazed what you will accomplish in those 30 days. Now you may be asking "shawn what are you doing next?" well i have met all my goals of achieving maximum performance like i wanted by going through AV2. But with that said, i leaned out a little too much and i am looking to add back on some SIZE. But i want to maintain all this performance i built too! so i release to you- My 13 Week Body Beast/ Asylum 1+2 HYBRID!

Here are my goals with this hybrid; (13 week program)
1. Maintain current weight
2. Focus on increasing size of Lats, Shoulders, traps, and rear Deltoid
3. Focus on increasing size of quads, and hamstrings
4. Maintain Top Elite Performance
5. Maintain Muscle Endurance
6. Maintain Aesthetic Physique (keeping lean, not getting bulky)

There are some notes tho i am making here tho that are some changes in some of the routines to meet my goals more, ask if you have questions.

1. Not always going to do deadlifts, except Straight leg deadlifts for legs, occasionally i will do them tho because its a good functional exercise.
Reason= i did my first round of beast with the deadlifts and while it is a very functional exercise and a size gainer. I beielve more rest needs to be implemented, deadlifts need a full week split between sessions to allow the lower back to get stronger and so you do not injure youself. The beast schedule has you doing deadlifts twice a week on average which is hard on the lower back without the proper recovery between sessions.  So i won't always do deadlifts for back workouts. Legs tho i am keeping the straight leg deadlifts because its a good move for hamstrings.
Substitution with= Weighted Pull Ups (weight in between legs)
Reason for substitution= Goal is added size to lats. weighted pull ups are one of the best exercises for this. these will be done with a slow and controlled negative movement (on the way down).

2. Each resistance workout will be finished with a final drop set of a mass gainer exercise that you just worked. (example: build chest & tris/ with a final set of incline press with heavy weight for 8 reps, then a drop set of another 8, then a 2nd drop set of as many reps till failure.)
This will make sure that i get every last stimulation for muscle growth.

3. You might notice i work abs a lot! reason being is i only train abs a maximum of 10 min at a time, so since i don't train them long, i train them more often- just a personal preference. ab workouts can be your choice, i just included my personal favorites, all ab sessions are done first to allow complete contraction of core unless it is Ab shredder that is a routine i do at the end of the normal routine because i like pushing through that one, and its more of a core routine than abs.

4. You will notice how this is a 6 day split. Usually in the past i always did a 5 day split with 2 recovery days, well i have been playing around lately and found that i like that one extra workout a week. If you feel you need more recovery- take it, if you have an active lifestyle defiantly make sure you get enough rest, I have a desk job so i am resting all day anyway so i choose to workout 6 days a week. If i feel i need more recovery then i will listen to my body but coming off of Asylum Vol. 2 I am in pretty good shape :)

5. You will also notice how Yoga is up to you. I like yoga and do it frequently, but i know many people don't so you can choose to do yoga, stretch, or just rest. All is good, i respect whatever decision you choose ;)

6. For me all workouts during the week will be at 5am or 5:30am each morning. If i don't get it done in the morning it wont get done lol. on saturday if its a cardio routine, i will just knock it out when i wake up. If it is a resistance routine, i have a pretty big breakfast, wait for 1-1 1/2 hours and then workout.

7. you will notice that there is no recovery week, just a transition week. Yep you read that right. The one thing is though that for transition weeks do lighter weights and higher reps, that will keep you moving and help you recovery more efficiently. The transition weeks you don't want to push too hard on, if you usually give a 10 for a workout only give around a 6 for that workout when its in the transition week.

Nutrition
Going from body beast and then onto a round of Asylum vol. 2 i have really figured out the calories that work for my lifestyle and body type. I will be doing 16-18 calories per pound of body weight. so for me thats 2000-2250 calories with occasionally a 2300-2400 day thrown in too spark the metabolism (gotta love treat meals :) This calorie level i have found to work great with my body and my lifestyle. If you have questions on nutrition and what you should do, just ask me. As for macros i will be sticking close to 45/35/20 (P/C/F) but that could vary depending the day, some days my be 40/40/20, some may be 45/30/25 really as long as i'm in that range i feel and look my best. below is pretty much my exact diet. now remember this is the plan that works for me. if you don't have a desk job there is no way in hell that you will survive with just this amount of food. I seriously do not live an active lifestyle at all (my daily 1 hour workout is the activity i get) so this is what WORKS FOR ME. personal note- If i was trying to gain mass i would be doing 2400-2500 a day. (around 20 calories per pound body weight)
