Raise your Coaching Intensity - Pre-Exhaustion.

Here we'll target the role that pre-exhaustion has to play in heightening the coaching effect. How does one get around this? By first performing an exercise that isolates and tires the pectorals before straight away heading off to the main exercise. You can only build muscle tissue if you can generate gradually stronger muscular contractions, so this calls for a stress on finding paths to increase exercise power. This shouldn't be confused with exercise duration as maximum coaching power will really shorten the time required to reach maximal muscular expansion. Positive strength - the power to raise a weight. You will need 1 or 2 partners to lift the weight to the top position so you can lower it under your own control. Take special care with leg exercises and elude negative squats to guard the knees.

Examples of pre-exhaust routines typically performed by bodybuilders are noted below : Biceps - barbell curls and close-grip, palms-up pulldowns.
