Scooby's Home Bodybuilding Workouts

Heavy Alternate


The "heavy weight alternate" technique allows you to lift heavy with lots of rest between sets but also allows you to do twice as many sets as you can with a heavy workout.  First, choose 2 complimentary exercises, like bench press and pec deck, pull-ups and dumbbell rows, or bicep curls and dips.  Using heavy weight do 3-5 reps of the first exercise with slow, strict form then hurry over to the other machine and 3-5 reps using heavy weight on the second exercise.  After this intense exercise, take 5 full minutes of rest.  You can also do this with three exercises, especially with leg workouts.
