This program utlizes some strength-work, strategically combined with tri-sets comprised of carefully selected exercises.
First we will hit the high threshold fibers with heavier loads in the strongest position.
Then we follow-up by using tri-sets in an effort to fatigue the entire muscle from multiple angles by stimulating as many of the lower-threshold fibers as we can.
This approach should provide a boost in lactic acid and give you a SICK pump that can be showcased as you strut through the club after your workout is done ;).
Caused by maximal blood and cell volumization, the “pump”, known scientifically as ‘cell swelling’, or ‘hyperemia’, has been shown to trigger an “adapt or die” type response by the muscle cells!
The excessive swelling acts like a trigger to get bigger…
…and / or face potential cell death from excessive intracellular pressure!
Sounds intense…
It is!
This particular program has an upper-body dominant focus, utilizing 2 seperate torso targeted days.
One will be centred around vertical pushing and pulling, the other working in a horizontal plane.
____
Stay true to form to reap the benefits of strength increases on top of all the cell swelling goodness you can handle…
It’s time to use the metaphorical bicycle pump to balloon our way to bigger (and stronger) muscles!
