John Smith has signed up for a 12-week, 36 sessions, transformation at Ultimate Performance and has been assigned to train with you.
John’s goal is to get a cover model physique within 12 weeks.
John is highly motivated and has told you he will do whatever it takes to achieve his goal.
Task 1
Write an initial training program for John Smith. Include a short section to explain your rationale for the phase 1 training plan.
John can train with you 3 x per week for 1 hour, and twice per week for 1 hour by himself.
In John’s initial pre-exercise assessment you observe that John:
- Complains about lower back pain and he tells you that he has suffered from this for years.
- Struggles to maintain a neutral spine when performing deadlifts and squats.
- Finds holding a bar on his back when he squats uncomfortable. You also notice that when he performs a squat, he shifts his centre of mass to his right side, his knees fall in, and his spine flexes before he reaches parallel.
Write the first phase of a nutrition plan for John Smith that John will be able to understand and follow. You can also include any supplements that you would recommend to John to support his diet. Include a short section to explain your rationale for the nutrition plan.
After John’s initial assessment, you calculate that John is 188 cm tall, weighs 90 kg at an estimated 20% Body fat.
John explains to you that he has never dieted before and believes that he has been eating ‘healthy’.
Task 2:
The key to lose fat and maintaining your mussels is having a small portion meals
every a few hours at least four times a day and best is five to six times a day to boost
your metabolism.
However by limiting the amount of food you eat you may lose some weights but you
will lose muscles too, muscles are the best fat burner tissues in our body and by
building more of this you will burn more fats.
Depends on the goal, if this is about to gain more muscles you should increase your
intake of your good proteins plus good fat and complex carbohydrate.
don’t forget to drink more than 10 glass of water a day.
Try to reduce amount of carbs and fruit during a night
Having some apple vinegar with water after breakfast and when you go to bed

Day three.
You should first stand straight and relaxed, put your arms by your sides, contracting your lats and bring it back towards floor, hard. You can feel how your upper back becomes stiff, but doesn’t get pulled out of neutral? Practice that and get used to the feeling – this is the key to maintaining upper-back alignment when you lift heavy.
Once you get used to this filling we can use barbell to do squat but if you feel pain on your shoulder we can use some pads on the barbel if still its not good for you then we use alternative as a squat.
As long as you have a problem with deadlift and squat, I can use alternative movement instead.
For back pian I do recommend you some Pilates movements such as ; Child pos, Glute bridge, swimming pose .. and also starching which it should take abut 15 sec to do for each.
Squat 3/15 to 20 ( if he is okay with pads and no pain)
Leg press 3 sets of 15 to 20
Leg extension 3/15 to 20
Lunges 3/5 meter
Body squat 3/20 once you get better we use some weights to hold on your hands ( if he feels pain with barbels )
