Today Tyler and I did a mix of upper body exercises. The exercises targeted our biceps, triceps, shoulders and back. We did supersets for all of the exercises, mixing a heavy weight exercise with a heavy volume exercise. Mixing heavy weight exercises with heavy volume exercises helps to create muscle confusion, which can aid in muscle growth.
This workout was a bit longer than we normally like to do, but still great! Just a warning, by the time you get to your last set you will be extremely fatigued. I had to drop my weights from what I had expected to do in order to keep good form. It’s great to put up heavy weights, but if you’re compromising your form it’s not worth it.
