This has nothing to do with April Fools. I've been working out again, and I've been trying to come up with an original work out.

Next time you hit the gym try this, and afterwards let me know how it feels. What is nice is it works with every body part.

Say you are doing your biceps.

Take a light weight (Not so light you don't feel it, but lighter then what you usually start with). Do a set of 12 reps.

With only 5-10 second rest, place the weights down and grab some dumbbells 5 pounds (or 2.5 pounds, your call) heavier and crank out 10 reps.

Rest 5-10 seconds, grab dumbbells 5 (or 2.5 if available) pounds heavier and do 8 reps.

Rest 5-10 seconds, grab dumbells 5 (or 2.5 if available) pounds heavier and do 6 reps.

Rest 5-10 seconds, grab dumbells 5 (or 2.5 if available) pounds heavier and do 4 reps.

Rest 5-10 seconds, grab dumbells 5 (or 2.5 if available) pounds heavier and do 2 reps.

Rest 5-10 seconds, grab dumbells 5 (or 2.5 if available) pounds heavier and do 1 final rep slowly.

So, say that you usually use 20 lbs. weights for bicep curls ( I skip to 5 lbs difference because usually 2.5 lbs differences disappear after 15 lbs)

12.5x12
15x10
20x8
25x6
30x4
35x2
40x1

Take a break, and then if you can repeat.

Then move on to next body part for that workout.

***

Let me know if it feels like it's working! Thanks (if you want to participate).

That shit looks like it would burn you out. Shit i have bad stamina, I get tired after the 3rd set.

actully if ur building mass, that routine is shit u'd need to lift heavy weights with minimum reps to shock u the advantage is that u also recover faster c'z of less tearing and wearing of musles with less reps.

Werd, wut ohsopimpin said is right....if u wanna improve ur muscle's and build up on em, do heavy weights. If you watch wut u eat, and do really good cardio workouts before ur weight-lifting, ur automatically gunna get cut with this method, so there's no need for hardcore repitition of low-weight reps.

Ya i would love to be cut/tonned rather than built...its easier to get built though. Anyways...ya that sounds pretty good. I basically breakdown my workout in 3 diff days.
1st day - Chest, Tricep, Shoulders, Abs, Cardio workout
2nd day - Legs..Legs..Legs, Abs, Cardio workout
3rd day - Back, Biceps, Abs, Cardio workout
..and continue the loop...
usually i have 2 diff workouts for each muscle(well 4 all together cuz like monday if i do chest..lets say i do A and B workout for chest..and then on thurday i do chesst again right? So I do C and D workout...well not really but for some i do..for others i just do the same..just depends)
