We only have two more workouts on your shoulders Trainer series on Shattered! You’ll be repeating your Week 3 workout today, but now you’ll be using heavier weights. You should notice impressive improvements since the last time you performed this workout, which is based on the rest-pause principle. Put everything into this workout.
NOTES:
* For rest-pause, you’ll choose a weight that takes you to failure at 15 reps, and then you’ll rest for several seconds until you’re able to perform 5 more reps. Complete those and then rest for only 90 seconds between all sets.
* Consider including recovery activities such as foam rolling or massage. It’s crucial that you do all you can to allow your body to fully recover from these intense workouts.
* Don’t forget to start your day with fluid and fast-digesting protein such as Micropure Whey Isolate. During the night your body goes into catabolism (muscle breakdown), and getting in Kaged Muscle’s whey product helps stop this and jump-start anabolism (muscle growth).
