Looking for an efficient and effective chest and back workout? This intense PUMP workout is exactly what you need to take your gains to the next level.
Putting on quality mass takes a lot of time, especially when building a well defined chest with thick cobra looking lats.
What if there was a way to look and feel huge in ONLY half the time? Sound to good to be true?
Enter the Super-Set
Super-sets allow you to get more work done in half the time.
They are a great tool for building SUPER strength and producing the magic chemical, “Lactic Acid.”
Lactic Acid
Lactic acid unleashes your body’s natural ability to break down muscle tissue and grow it back bigger… fuller… leaner… stronger…
Lactic acid forces your body to release floods of testosterone which swell your muscles in size… strengthening your muscles with human growth hormones as well you bolster your dopamine and serotonin levels.
Special cells called “Leydig” use lactic acid to suck up cholesterol and convert it into testosterone.
In turn this lowers your free cholesterol count and releases human growth hormone which in turn raids your fat cells for emergency fuel to strip away fat from trouble spot areas like your belly.
When lactate triggers in your muscles… You will feel that intense “burn” and the more lactic acid you coax from your muscles… the more powerful the benefits.
Arnold Schwarzenegger
Super-setting chest and back was popularized by none other than the man himself, Arnold Schwarzenegger.
When Arnold would train chest he would do a complete 180 and train his back using super-sets to get that amazing PUMP!
This style of training is great for overall strength and size because it applies working opposing muscle groups known as, “antagonist/agonist training.
You can apply this style of training for other muscle groups below:
- bicep/triceps
- quads/hams
- shoulder/back
- chest/back
Below are 3 super-set exercises that will create the most amount of lactic acid giving you an amazing pump that unleashes the magical hormone lactic acid in half the time.
NOTE: Each exercise is performed back to back WITHOUT rest. For example, A1-A2 are performed together without rest. Once you complete both exercises, rest for the prescribed amount of time.
