YOUR GOAL: THE PERFECT CHEST
YOUR TIME: 18 MINUTES
This routine attacks the primary cause of puniness. "The mistake most men make when looking for more chest size and strength is always sticking to the traditional eight-to-12-repetition principle," says Jason Ferruggia, owner of Renegade Strength and Conditioning, in Warren, New Jersey. Ferruggia's first rule: Diversify your repetition schemes and emphasize heavier-weight, lower-repetition sets. This allows you to target your body's fast-twitch muscle fibers, the ones with the greatest potential for growth.
At times, this workout calls for you to lift only your body weight while in a suspended position. Think gymnasts, who build rock-hard bodies without ever picking up a weight. "Moving your body through space is more taxing to your central nervous system than regular weight training," says Ferruggia. This means you'll improve your brain-to-muscle connection, which will train your body to recruit more muscle in every exercise.
Do Phase 1 for 4 weeks, working your chest twice a week with two separate routines (Day 1 and Day 2). (Do the exercises shown here as the chest portion of your upper- or total-body routine.) Rest at least 2 days between workouts. Complete Phase 2 workouts in the next 4 weeks.
Here is part of an article that I found online that states something that completely contradicts what I know is right. Can any of you pick it up? I'll tell you later in the day what I think is wrong with this article. But just curious if you guys pick it up. It's just one sentence, but I copied and pasted a big chunk, just to make it a bit more challenging.
It must be a editing error/typo.
