Today’s exercise was based on the pulsating method (also know as the wave method). I tend not to train chest to much as I find it over develops quickly where as my back need more attention to maintain correct posture and pull me up right. Also who doesn't love a defined back!
The reason pulsating weight training is so effect that it allows you to get in the extra volume of work on the final set by allowing you to lift heavier weight due to the 'warm-up' effect the previous sets created. This helps in muscle hypertrophy.
This was my work out:
Assisted Pull Ups 3 x 8 reps
Lat Pull Down 4 x pulsating sets - 8 reps, 6, reps, 4 reps, 6 reps
Pullovers 4 x pulsating sets - 10 reps, 8 reps, 6 reps, 8 reps superset with One Arm Rows (also pulsating with the same reps per sets as the Pullovers)
I did this work out in the morning so as to give my body time to replenish it's ATP (energy) stores for tonight’s cardio, RPM. I can't wait for another good sweat session!
