Today for Shoulders I’m going to be using the FacelessFitness Pyramid Set technique, This combines high reps and heavy weights and gets really great results, It works really well for shoulders but can also be applied to any muscle group. However trainer beware you do not want to use this technique on every muscle group every time as it will lead to over training. We did use it last week but I feel fresh enough to go again. Definitely do not use this technique for every muscle group every day!
Total Workout Time: 1 hr 13 mins
Cardio: 22 min sprint intervals, 6 secs on, 14 secs off – Bike
Tough Sprint training, the additional 2 minutes mean that I had an extra 6 sprints
Cardio Mood: Good cardio workout, will look to take this up to 7secs on, 13 off next time.
