WORKOUTS: WEEKS 1-4

S2F UNIVERSITY 101

Week 1

Training Method: 4-Minute Pump(4MP)

For each of the 7 exercises in these workouts, you'll do 60-70 reps in 4 minutes, using a weight that's roughly your 12-15-rep max (12-15RM). Your goal is to do 60-70 reps per exercise, fewer than that and you've probably gone too heavy; more than that and you've probably gone too light.

Week 2

Training Method: Century 100’S 

To even consider a set of 100 reps might, seem like utter madness, if even possible without losing all feeling in your arms. You might well also question the benefits of so many reps; what is to be gained? Will it results in muscle mass, greater strength and endurance. Feeling brave? Step this way and experience this unique method of training. 

 

Day 1

Opt for a weight that pushes you to failure at around 30 reps of a given exercise.

The aim is to lift all 100 reps with perfect technique. Obviously, your muscles will fatigue, so when you begin to fail, take a pause that equals one second for every rep you have done. So that would be a 51-second rest after 51 reps, and so on when you need the break. Rest 30 seconds between each exercise, than move on to the next exercise. Use this protocol for each exercise.

Week 3

Training Method: Cardio Resistance Training

CRT is the strength and muscle building cousin of HIIT (high-intensity interval training). While HIIT focuses on cardio, CRT focuses on lifting weights and using resistance bands in your workout for this protocol. CRT is super intense, super challenging and super effective. In this CRT protocol we will be using the superset method of performing 2 or more exercises grouped together in one CRT timed on a tabata clock.

 

Day 1

Perform each exercise in CRT#1 10 reps 8 times, than 12 reps in CRT#2 12 reps 8 times, than concluding with CRT#3 14 reps 8 times. 40 reps. Rest 30 seconds between completing each CRT. Than move on to the next Rep range CRT. Use this protocol for each CRT.
