Super set 8x8!
Woof!
So I've been modifying my standing 5x5 routine of bench press, dead lift and squat from the standard to making it four sets of 8 reps of a super set for both exercises. My workouts look something like this, as far as big lifts go:
warm up
balance/proprioceptive warm up
Clean to front squat 5/5
Deadlift/dumb bell chest press superset 4/8
Squat/pull up superset 4/8
Bench press/barbell standing row superset 4/8
Supplementary lifts:
Bicep curl 15s x2
shoulder raises 4/10
core routine
cool down
stretch
I must say, making the big lifts into super sets is a really great kick in the ass! Sure gets the heart pumping! Deadlift/bench press super sets have become a new favorite of mine, when time is short and space is available.
Again, thank you for reading, and as always please feel free to comment, critique and ask questions! I am looking to take my CPT test through NASM in the upcoming weeks, and look forward to starting down that career path!
