Upper Body:

Tip:

On Wednesdays, for the next six weeks, for the next six weeks, we will be following the below format.

Strength Intensity 1: Dips and pull-ups will be utilized to build some serious upper body strength with your body weight. This format is different from other cycles. It will include a high number of sets with moderate to low reps. The accumulation of all reps is where the stimulus is coming from, not just a single set. This will make the first 1-2 sets feel easier, but you should feel the challenge as you approach your 5th or 6th set.

Strength Intensity 2: The exercises selected for this section will complement the first section nicely. The first section will alternate weeks between a dip and pull-up (push and pull). The strength balance will alternate between a pull and a push. This section is also complimentary to the first section, as the high-volume sets complement the low-volume sets.

Strength Balance: The emphasis will be more on arm isolation.
