The following program is a moderate to high intensity workout designed to focus your attention on building strength and muscle while adding more exercises to your routine for added intensity. There is an advanced technique in this weight training program called “super setting”. We will do super sets for shoulders as well as for chest. For those of you who don’t know what a super set is, here’s the description:
Super sets allows you to work two opposing muscles using different exercises. Super sets are designed to increase the intensity of your training routine by allowing for minimum rest between exercises. An example of super setting is alternating biceps curls with triceps push downs with minimum rest between exercises.
Use this technique in your free weight lifting program to stimulate more muscle growth. Super sets are a great way to add more intensity to your workout. Paul will show you how to do these exercises in the advanced weight training video.
