We hope you had a great year. If you were loyal to the Yearlong workouts, you're no doubt bigger, stronger, leaner, and more athletic than ever. The final phase in the program aims to help you vanquish all your personal records for size and strength before setting new goals for 2008.

The workouts are divided into two parts, each lasting four weeks. The workouts for Part I (A, B, and C) are brutally hard. You'll start the first two days with heavy lifts using your relative rep max-the most weight you can handle for each successive set. That means that if you use 200 pounds for eight reps on the first set, and you don't think you can get eight reps on the second set using that same load, reduce the weight by enough so that you can get eight reps again. This strategy helps you avoid overtraining and stimulates every possible muscle fiber.

In Part II (Workouts D, E, and F), you'll back off the heavy weights a bit and employ combos and complexes. A combo is two or more exercises done in succession for one rep each with little rest in between, such as one squat followed by a burpee, a pushup, and then a press. A complex works almost the same way, only you'll perform several reps for one exercise before moving on. This is one way to perform a lot of work in little time with minimal equipment, and it really jacks up muscle growth. Congrats on completing the program, and Happy New Year.
