Happy Friday!
Today the workout concentrated on Back, Bicep, Forearm, and Calves. As a reminder, the Down and up Mass program is a 4-day workout per week. On the first and third days are Abdomen exercises. On the second and fourth days are calve workouts.
Also, you’ll notice that each exercise is only two documented sets. This workout hits muscles hard in the first and third week of each phase. This week, 2 sets are done, but the 2nd set is followed by a rest/pause set and a drop set to failure. So, 1 set of 11 reps; another set of 11 reps; followed by a rest/pause (about a 15-second rest) set of 11 reps (set #3), and then immediately following the rest pause is a drop set (drop 5-10 pounds) and work to failure. So, this routine is actually 64 total sets (32 are normal sets; 16 are rest/pause sets; 16 are drop sets to failure). The intensity of this workout is unbelievable! I woke up this morning feeling like someone had taken a baseball bat to my chest and triceps (from yesterday’s workout).
