Hopefully, you are now both bigger and stronger compared to this time last year.
But here's the thing: however well you performed in the gym during 2015, you could always do with a little more… and by more,
I mean faster muscle growth!High-Rep Anabolic Hack
A little while back, I showed you how high-reps can help you achieve faster growth. The hypertrophy hack we talked about was super-simple to implement: after performing your final set of 6-10 reps, lower the load on your bar by 20% for a high-rep anabolic shock.
But this isn't the ONLY way to provide an anabolic shock to your system. You can also use high-reps BEFORE your big compound moves — this training tactic gives you a great burn and powerful pump, leading to increased growth fibre recruitment.
So why is this strategy so effective?
Science shows beginning a body part workout with a high-rep set does remarkable things for faster muscle growth. A high-rep set pre-fatigues slow-twitch fibres, gradually activating more fast-twitch fibres. Then, you simply add weight to your bar and more fast-twitch growth fibres fire due to your first high-rep anabolic-primer set.
Want to see it in action? Here is what a chest workout might look like:
Dumbbell Flyes, 1 x 20 reps
Rest 20 seconds, add weight
Dumbbell Press, 3 x 10 reps (rest 20 seconds between sets)You can employ this strategy when new mass stimulation is your goal. Easy-to-use, it gives you a great hypertrophy hack you can drop into your routines for added diversity.
