TMT-PHASE TWO Cycle 2 SHOULDERS!
My second training eBOOK is available at http://tylermcpeak.com/store for $14.95!
Here is a short glimpse of my Shoulder workout from cycle 2 of TMT-PHASE TWO!
Towards the end of TMT-PHASE ONE I started to crave the feeling of lifting heavier weights. Now before I go into any further detail I want to address that the words heavier weight is a relative term. Meaning your muscles don't know X amount of poundage that your lifting so that being said I NEVER WANT YOU TO SACRIFICE YOUR FORM FOR TRYING TO MOVE TOO MUCH WEIGHT. As you will see this program is designed to increase strength and really target those fast twitch muscle fibers for the first 4 weeks. It has been years since I've done this low of repetitions and I was curious to see what would happen and the result was getting stronger and my muscles got thicker so be ready to beat the shit out of your body but please be careful. The low rep schemes on certain lifts does not mean that you want to throw form out the window and lose focus of the target muscle. Keep in mind this is still a bodybuilding program and not a powerlifting contest. One of the goals here is to increase your strength during the first 4 weeks by getting a feel for the heavier weight so once weeks 5-8 roll around you should be able to use heavier weights for the higher rep sets that you were not able to use before. The reason for only doing low reps heavier weight for 4 week is to let your joints rest and heal up because you can't continuously try to push your body with maximum poundage and stay healthy. You don't want to be sidelined with an injury that will keep you out of the gym. Even though Cycle 1 is geared towards moving the poundage up and gaining strength each week there are still intensity techniques involved to flush as much blood into the muscle so you are guaranteed to get great pumps! For cycle 2, the purpose is to volumize the muscle with higher reps and target the slow twitch muscle fibers. You will not only get great pumps but also your muscle endurance will really be tested during this phase. More supersets and giant sets are involved during this cycle so be prepared to mentally have to push past the pain of the lactic acid build up. The more lactic acid build up equals a larger amount of growth hormone released! So without further ado welcome to TMT-PHASE TWO!

Questions – 9/18/2012
matt
ty - i know you dont like anything but fitnes questions, however, i dont know how to contact you directly. i also care about you to encourage you vs. only taking from you (e.g. asking questions). anyway, as you make the final push to the next shoot this is when it is important to buckle down. you dont have much longer...so very very few cheat meals and make them twice a week and very small (e.g. kids meal frm outback cheesburger, fries and salad). that will be better than eating for 45mins. you can do it and you will do it.
18 September 2012
Tyler - I've already cut cheat meals out completely
Mark
Tyler, anyway you can tell us your increases on your core lifts from TMT Phase 2 , I am curious because this program is also to make you stronger. Thanks
18 September 2012
Tyler - for Deadlifts throughout Phase One I was only using 405lb. Just last weekend I did 500lb for 4 reps along with other heavier sets. check out the youtube video. Squats increased by being able to do 315lb for more sets and reps, As for all of my other lifts everything has increased along with adding new muscle. When I started phase 1 I was weighing 209lb and measuring 8% body fat. Now i'm weighing 213lb measuring 4.91% body fat
Laurent
Hi Tyler, do we, members of your site, have to buy the TMT Phase 2, or is it free in the member section ? thanks a lot
17 September 2012
Tyler - Yes you still have to buy Phase 2. Phase 3 has already started and I'm posting my daily workouts leading up to my shoots for members. At the end of phase 3 I will still be putting it together as an ebook and will be available for free download to memembers.
Mike
Tyler, do you use CLA while cutting or is it just a big hype?
17 September 2012
Tyler - I do use CLA. It's nothing magical that if you start taking it you will start burning fat but it does help if everything else is 100 percent (diet,training)
Shaun
I am currently cutting and at week 10 of the TMT Phase 1 and I am looking into TMT phase 2, however I am not sure if it will help with my cutting phase?
17 September 2012
Tyler - "cutting" really depends on 2 factors..how you are eating and the amount of cardio you are doing. weight training programs really don't determine this. Phase 2 the first 4 weeks is strength building but as a whole the program is very high volume still as phase 1 was. Volume training is in my opinion the best way to build a physque
Edmond
Hey Tyler, I'm looking try bulking a cutting phases this coming year when I get Phase 2. Right now I have been using Isopure and I like the results, but since I am going to be bulking I wanted to know would something like Monster Milk be good?
16 September 2012
Tyler - the type of protein you get really is going to be a personal preference. There is a lot more factors that go into nutrition to try to add lean mass rather than just protein choice.

Cycle 2 BACK! TMT-PHASE TWO
8/29/2012 - BACK THICKNESS IS THE GOAL
Yesterday was the first day I woke up feeling fully recovered and rested from my travels this past weekend. I was pretty lethargic for the first couple days but that didn't stop me from getting after it in the gym! Since I was feeling 100 percent back to myself yesterday I was pretty hyped up about training BACK! The first 4 weeks of Phase 2 you will not be doing any deadlifts because in my experience it's good to cycle them on and off and after doing them for 12 weeks in Phase One a 4 week break was needed. Anthony my boy that I just visited in Philly was who introduced me to deadlifts when we were both 19-20 years old at the BAC in VA. Week after week we would max out trying to beat our previous number. Deadlifts has always been my strongest lift and I ended up hitting 600lb for a single rep a couple of different occasions. That being said though my body was beat all to hell every week I had back, neck, trap, and shoulder issues. Now as you can tell by my programs I never go lower then 4-5 reps on Deads. Who knows maybe one day I'll get ballsy again and see what I can do. Back to yesterday's workout Deadlifts are re-introduced in the cycle 2 and I ended up pulling 315lb for 2 sets of 15 then 365lb for 1 set of 12. It actually felt pretty light so I'll be increasing that next week. These are done at the end of the workout as part of a superset too 
My lower back is getting tighter by the hour and I'm sure it'll be pretty damn sore tomorrow.
8/30/2012 - DEADS
So I might not be moving back to VA after all lol...At this time in my life I just don't know if that's the smartest decision so if that's the case I'll be getting my own place here in Nashville. I'm not going to talk about it anymore though. I've got A LOT of thinking to make a life changing decision like this.
13 WEEKS OUT!
chasing that pump! 8/13/2012
If you have been reading my blog lately you will know I have been very indecisive with figuring out the right time to get back in front of the camera. After doing some more thinking on Saturday and thought about it pretty much all day yesterday I made the decision to go ahead and book a shoot for the beginning of November!! First off I want to say I CAN'T F**KING WAIT!! It's been close to 2 years since I've done a shoot and I know this will be my ALL TIME BEST. I really want to make a statement with these pictures. I'll be shooting with the famous fitness photographer Jason Ellis. You can check his work out here. Wednesday November 7th is the set date so that puts me at roughly 13 weeks out! Plenty of time to get super shredded! The shoot will take place in LA. There are a couple of other shoots that are in the works for that same week and I won't know a definite on one till late October. Onto some other news I spoke with my webmaster today and he still hasn't given me an exact date on the members section launch but I promise it will be soon. You will get to follow my diet all the way up to my shoots and TMT-PHASE 2 will take me pretty close to my shoot date but PHASe 3 will the program for the final stages to grind it out right before the shoot.
