Hi Bill

Aaron’s method looks like it’s a proven one, as you have tried it and can approve of it’s effectiveness. The little rest is important no doubt.

In regards to those guys that rest for five minutes or more, they are usually caught up in conversation, born chit chatters or are just not serious about building for results. That is one of the reasons i prefer local gyms with a community. Everyone there seems to have a common goal and are willing to help each other out when in the gym. I’ve noticed this in more than one gym too.

Hi Aaron

That’s one of the best suggestions I’ve had on here. I can imagine that, that method encourages discipline and increased performance as that sets a time limit in which to perform a number of reps. In fact that is great as a goal setting exercise… something which i talked about here

http://www.stayfitbug.com/the-fitness-bug/the-importance-of-goal-setting-when-working-out/

Either way, that sounds like a great method, which I myself will try and hopefully what others reading this post will try too.

If I do try it and it proves a great challenge, I will for sure use it in the upcoming product which I will deliver to all readers here in the next 2-3 months. And I will for sure put credit to your name if so.

Oh yeah, that’s a method I use too. Or at least I used to in the earlier phases of my workouts. It’s great because it can be applied to all levels. You set a time frame and do your best. The “as little rest as possible” part is very important for burning fat while lifting weights, something a lot of people don’t do at the gym. I see guys resting for as much as five minutes between sets and I think to myself “Why waste all that time?”…

Hi Shaun,

I’d like to share a method I use from time to time to mix up the intensity of my training. I’ll pick one exercise and a weight that I know I can do for about 8 – 10 reps. I’ll set a timer for six minutes and try to knock out as many reps as possible in the six minute frame, resting as little as possible. I’ll do this for all muscle groups for about two weeks, trying to increase the total number of reps completed in 6 minutes with each successive workout. I find this a great way to get a great pump, keep the heart rate up (since I’m not a big cardio fan), break through plateaus, and just add some variety and stimulation into my routines.

Sure is. Many of the reasons why people quit it is because they are out of their comfort zone. That is not always an easy place to be. Especially when aspects of your comfort zone are constantly been thrown in your face. Hanging with friends, chilling out, drinking, smoking, partying. All of those are good things in their own way, but if you do to much of any one of those things… motivation is then lost. Which lead me to yesterdays motivational post.

That’s a great truth if I ever heard one…A lot of people have all the best intentions to change their bodies and really work at the gym but few see it through…

Ah… It could be this one

I am for sure putting a heavy focus on the short routine/ minimum time. And I’m probably going to present a way ‘creatively’ to display the kind of intensity that is required for results in minimum time and how to keep that up. Starting intensity is do-able. Seeing it through to the end is a whole different ball game.
