Workout intensity

Increasing the intensity of workouts

The following techniques should only be tried by people who have trained for 1 year or more!

Drop sets

Drop sets are used when you are unable to complete another lift with a given weight. Instead of resting, take weight off the bar and continue until again you are unable to lift. Repeat the rest.

Super sets

Exercising the same body part with two or more exercises back to back without rest.

Pre-exhaust sets

Pre-exhaust sets see you perform an isolation exercise (i.e. Leg extension, flyes) followed by a compound exercise (squat, press) straight after without rest.
