TO NOTE:
  • Incline Bench Dropset – On the 5th set, the idea is to push to failure, then drop some weight and get a few more reps with minimal break. Finally, again with minimal rest, squeeze a few more reps out with the bare bar.
  • Arm Blaster Curls – If you do not have an Arm Blaster, then you could alternatively do bicep curls with your back up against the wall. The intent here is to lock your elbows in place, so there is no backwards or forward motion. Heads up – these are hard!
  • Mobility & Pre-Activation – The idea is to work on dynamic stretches and short power work to warm up your limbs into full range of motion and to do a little work on muscle recruitment timing. This will help you feel mentally and physically prepared for your working sets. That said, what you choose to do will depend on your weaknesses or mobility issues.
  • Cardio – Very little in the way of cardio. Honestly, if you go full out on this workout, you’ll not have the capacity for anymore. The intent of the cardio finisher is simply some light active recovery. To get the blood flowing into your limbs and begin the process of flushing out the metabolic waste buildup. Do too much cardio and it will be catabolic – not good.
