Intensity & antagonistic sets- 3 Tips To Speed Up Your Workouts



Uploaded on 1 Oct 2011


In order to build muscle fast you have to be sure that the right intensity techniques are being used in your workouts. A workout that is not of sufficient intensity will never help you to build the lean muscle you're after since the stimulus is just not strong enough to get the job done.

That said, in this video I'm going to show you how to up the intensity of your workouts (by decreasing the length it takes you to complete them) with three muscle building and muscle growth tactics that I use with my professional athlete clients.

In order to build muscle you have to focus on maximizing the tension on the muscle through both the eccentric and concentric phase of the lift or exercise. Muscle building exercises will help you to build muscle if they place a load on the muscle that it's not already used to. Overload is the key, and by doubling the time the muscle is under tension you are able to increase the muscle growth while decreasing the total time that you need to workout to get results.

With that and the two other time saving and intensity cranking techniques in this video, you'll be able to start adding some serious size in less time.
