Warm Up
10 - 20 Minutes
- Before you start the muscle workout it is important to warm up your body and get the blood flowing. Perform 10-20 minutes of steady-state cardio, e.g. running machine, cycling machine or the stair master.
1: Hyperextension
3 Sets / To Failure / 60-120 Sec Rest
- Hold the hyperextension for 10 seconds followed by 10 reps. Repeat until failure.
2: Partial Back Fly
3 Sets / 10 Reps / 60-120 Sec Rest
- Perform a partial back fly followed by a slow negative for 3-4 seconds.
3: Round The World Pull-Up
4 Sets / To Failure / 60-120 Sec Rest
- Perform a wide grip pull up, then move your body to the left, then the right, back to the centre and then back down. Perform until failure.
4: Meadows Rows
3 Sets / To Failure / 60-120 Sec Rest
- Grab hold of an Olympic Bar, stick one end in the corner of the gym with a weight of your choice. Perform Meadows Rows until failure and then right at the end hold out a long 10 second stretch.
5: Single Arm Back Row
3 Sets / 10-15 Reps / 60-120 Sec Rest
- Assume a bent over row position on a bench and pick up your dumbbell to the peak contraction and hold for 4 seconds, then back down.
6: Lat Pullback With a Dumbbell
4 Sets / 15-20 Reps / 60-120 Sec Rest
- Assume a bent over row position, but instead of performing a single arm row, pull back your arm in a pendulum motion. When you're at the peak contraction, hold for 2 seconds and then lower back down.
