CHANGE TO THE HOME BODY ROUTINE: As we draw closer to all gyms being open again, we have changed the Home Body split to match The Daily Pump, just with free-weights (no machines).
Welcome to our at-home supplement to The Daily Pump! As we all navigate these crazy times, we understand you have goals and want to stay on track while staying healthy at home. By now, most of you have put together a weight set or found items around the house you can use (like a backpack, luggage, buckets, etc). Work with what you’ve got!

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
We do not save The Daily Pump! Each workout is posted for 48 hours. Screen shot your favorites!
Exercises marked with * are posted in video form on my Instagram: @smith.julian
All hand placement or leg stance is neutral or shoulder width unless otherwise noted
Drop = Drop Set:
Example #1: 12,10,8 drop 8
This means on the last set complete 8 reps, drop to a lighter weight, then complete 8 more reps, no rest in between
Example #2: 3 sets of 6 drop 12
This means you do three sets of the posted drop set. Set 1: 6 drop 12, Set 2: 6 drop 12, Set 3: 6 drop 12
Failure: example 3 sets F
This means there are no set number of reps, go until failure
Superset or Compound Set: example 4 sets of 10/15
Complete 10 reps of the first exercise, then 15 of the following exercise within the same set, no rest
Pyramid Sets (12,10,8,8): Anytime you see a pyramid set, regardless of the number of reps, you should always try to increase the weight each set as the reps go down!
Straight Sets (8,8,8,8): Anytime you see straight sets, regardless of the number of reps, it is going to be more tempo based, so moving up in weight each sets isn't necessary! If you do all the required sets at the same weight, that's totally fine
Rest Time Between Sets:
4-12 rep range = 30-45 seconds rest between sets
15+ rep range = 45-60 seconds rest between sets
TIME UNDER TENSION RATIOS: (also see video below)
1st number: How long the negative portion of rep should take
2nd number: How long you should pause on the stretch
3rd number: How long the positive portion of rep should take
4th number: How long you should pause on the contraction
Negative is always the stretch
Positive is always the contraction
example: Hack Squat (4:0:1:0)
4 seconds on the negative, no pause on the stretch
1 second on the positive, no pause on the contraction
example: Pec Deck Fly (4:2:1:2)
4 seconds on the negative, 2 second pause on the stretch
1 second on the positive, 2 second pause on the contraction
