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).
