(+) Means overshoot the reps listed and to go up next set regardless with the exception to the 100-200 rep sets
(Rp) rest pause. Do the weight till you're about to approach fail and then rest for 15 sec..then continue till you approach fail again...and rest for 15sec again and continue till you hit fail. You're doin 3 rounds of this.

100-Rep overload
Start with a weight you could do 20 reps with and do this as many as you can with it then add/go up in weight and immediately continue till you're over 100 reps total. If your reps start dropping below 10 each round...stop.

Double pump drop/ rep out sets (no zero set)
This is doing two contractions within one rep. Go to the point of muscular contraction then come halfway then back to the contracted point then back to full range. Do these as drop sets or rep out sets.

This is really cool. I like it. On the + for example, cable crossovers. Your first set u do say 12 reps. Then second set u do more than twelve and so on w the last two correct ?

careful with identities homie.. that could be traceable.

"STUBIG" isn't a name. So no identity being said. If he knows him then he'll no exactly what I'm talking about. But we've taken this to PM. I know big brother is always watching. Been here long enough to know.;-)

Damn I guarantee you get massive pumps from this. Was this just the week before your show or how often would you do this?

ShreddedCheddar's picture

I started this 10 weeks out from my show. And then switched up 4 weeks before. I will be adding on to this post in a few days depending how people respond to it.

I'm thinking that people will give you a good response to this. I cannot wait to see the rest of the work out!

Super pump is an understatement. There was days when I couldn't finish the workout cause I was in pain from the pumps
