The Workout Programme to Build Lean Muscle

The standard training programme is split into two phases, each of which has a different focus e.g. upper body, and lower body. Each phase lasts six weeks. You will need to undertake three weekly sessions with a trainer, and at least one weekly session training by yourself.

Each tailored programme is written to focus on increasing hypertrophy - building muscle - by performing 2-4 exercises for each muscle group during that muscle’s training day, for 3-5 sets, and 6-12 reps.

Muscle is built by working the muscle hard, which creates micro-tears within the individual muscle fibres. The repair process increases the volume of the individual muscle fibres, leading to increased strength and endurance. The rep tempo should be slow, as time under tension maximises the number of micro-tears. This therefore plays a key role in the amount of muscle building that occurs during each exercise, a factor that is critical to building lean muscle.

The 12-Week Transion Programme should focus on the three major lifts that are involved in powerlifting competitions – the squat, deadlift and bench press. Improving your ability in these big moves will make you stronger, leaner and more muscular because they involve using every major muscle group in your body. Each workout will focus on one of these lifts, starting with a relatively light exercise, designed to mobilise your target muscles. You then perform weighted lifts, whilst your trainer observes and corrects any technique irregularities.

Throughtout the training period we track progression on your strength and body composition. We recommend clients use an app to track their food intake and make up, eg proteins, carbs and fats, over the course of the programme. This enables your trainer to refine and tailor the correct macronutrients according to the training goals.

12-Week Transition Programme

The most common goal in the gym is to build lean muscle.

There’s nothing wrong with training for an aesthetic goal – and besides, if someone trains hard but says they don’t care how they look, the chances are they’re being honest with themselves. When it comes to building muscle, our advice is to first become lean in body fat, then we will set out a specific programme to increase your lean muscle mass.

To benefit from transformation with The Gym Academy you must commit to our 12-Week Transition Programme. This Programme will be tailored for you to achieve the lean, toned body you have been striving for.

You will need to commit to a strict, three-times-a week training protocol over a 12-week period. We will need a certain commitment from you, the client, in agreeing to specific terms and conditions, before taking on this workout programme.

One-to-one personal training sessions at TGA can only be taken once the 12-Week Transition Programme has been completed.

Using the information from an initial consultation with one of our trainers, we will design for you a unique nutritional and training protocol for the 12-week period. You will then need to train with a TGA trainer three-times-a-week.

How much do you really want to change?

We work on an 80/20 split, 80% of the time you need to follow the diet and training plan exactly to the letter, 20% of the time we will leave it up to you to make the correct choices. For example, off-plan food choices, rest days, extra training sessions. The success of your Transition Plan will depend on You.

We do ask for a 100% effort and commitment within each training session. So, make sure you are well-rested and fed to train and have a positive approach at all your training sessions ‘the body achieves what the mind believes'. 'Whether you think you can, or you think you can't - you're right' as Henry Ford once said.

We understand that sometimes the unexpected happens and there may be unforeseen circumstances that prevent you from attending a session. However, we will not accept that you just “don’t have the time” within the 12 week period of your commitment.
