Tips For This Workout Day

  • Make sure each and every workout is at its best.
  • Make sure you've eaten your breakfast and taken your pre-workout shake before your cardio.
  • When doing your warm-up sets pyramid the weight up to 70% of your maximum lift for the exercise.
  • Working to failure means you won't be able to complete one more rep even if you want to.
  • Your rest periods should last between 1 and 2 minutes, but make sure you're recovered enough to complete the next set.
  • Lying hamstring curls can be done without a machine by holding a dumbbell between your feet, but make sure you have a partner to help place the dumbbell and to help keep it between your feet.
  • Get yourself a nice set of knee wraps to keep your knees safe during your heavy working sets.
  • It is normal to feel a little light headed or a little sick.
  • Get your post-workout shake in immediately after your workout.
