So you are on round 5 of P90x. You obviously have a goal of further increasing your level of fitness, strength, bulk…Right? But, you are doing the same thing you did in round one. Okay, well, maybe the weights are heavier and hopefully your form is better. But there is more that you can do. You heard me. There is more! Want to know what it is? Of course you do! I am here for your success so I am going to offer you some free advice as a personal trainer. Add these two training methods to the plan and stand back. Results city!

Supersets:These are excercises comleted back to back with no rest period between them. And they are most often completed on antagonistic muscle groups. What does that mean? An example of antagonistic muscles are Biceps and Triceps. In a superset, you would complete a set of bicep curls, for example, followed immediately by a set of tricep kickbacks.

You could also perform supersets on the very same muscle group with a slightly varied form. You could complete a set of standing bicep curls followed immediately by concentration curls. Then move into triceps with a set of overhead tricep extensions followed by tricep pull downs. Again, no rest period. Keep moving!!

Dropsets: These are resistance exercises performed back to back with progressively reduced weights. They are performed on the same muscle group in the very same position and form. As an example, you would perform dumbbell squats with 60 pound weights in the first set. Immediately, you would drop the weight to 40 # and complete another set. You could drop again to25 # and complete a third set if you want to get really crazy. Just decide ahead of time and have your weights available for a quick grab. No rest period is allowed!

There you have it! A personal trainers twist on a home workout that will take your results to the next level! And yes, you are welcome! Ha!!
