Finisher Approach # 2 – Density
Let’s take a look at another type of finisher that you can add to your routine. This one’s called Density.There are actually a variety of approaches within this category. First, there’s timed sets. That’s when you do an exercise for a certain amount of time while completing as many reps as possible.
Another approach that uses Density is when you do a certain number of rounds (supersets or circuits) in a given time frame. The set and rep schemes can be really crazy. So crazy, in fact, that they’re called crazy names… like the Metabolic Deuces…
