My 2019 Workouts – Part 3

My Six Days A Week Rest-Pause Set Workouts

 

I am now going to concentrate on weight training. When snow and ice are away, I add some aerobic activity in form of biking.

Basics

1. Muscle groups

• thighs
• shoulders
• arms
• calves and abs
• back
• chest

2. Frequency

• I train with weights six days in a row and then keep one day off.

3. Systems

• Rest-Pause Sets and Drop Sets

4. Reps and rests

• I try to choose in each exercise a weight, which permits to do 10-15 moderate slow continuous tension reps in the first part of the rest-pause system
• my two rest-pauses per exercise are about 10 seconds
• I do all the three parts to a muscular failure and then move to the next exercise
