that workout killed me...i do not see how anyone can do more sets than this of intense pre-exhaust..well i can´t and i will be honest i struggled on the push ups doing only 1 set even though i took the triceps out the equation with pre exhaust so even though i had strength in my triceps my chest was thoroughly worked

not surprising after what you did nj..i would be sore for at least 4 days... this is why i can´t understand how some people say they train legs or chest/back HARD 2x a week... i can´t do it not with such a workout as say you did..no way. Not saying 2x a week is wrong but i could not do it.

I find i can concentrate on one muscle group better and do say abs and or calfes with a large muscle group. The volume i do is by no means as heavy as yours or Alex but i get results with the "overlap" effect i get because you can never isolate a musle group 100%.

The fact that we're getting up everyday and getting shit done ie working, family, relationships & working out speaks volumes - no excuses and no bullshit.

outstanding workout that Bill Grant would applaud.. he loved supersets for arms. I wrote with him on facebook.. another Bodybuilder i like.

Thanks D. I find that if I don't do super sets for arms then I'd be in the gym way too long.
