💪🏻Pre Fatigue Pleasure🔥

When it comes to building muscle, one of the best tools in my toolbox is the strategic implementation of the “Pre Fatigue” principle. We can’t ALWAYS chase PR’s, or improve on our performance in the gym every single day.

You will have tough days at work, arguments with your spouse, a newborn baby keeping you up at night, final exams to study for...bottom line, sometimes we just don’t have “it”. On days like this, using the “Pre Fatigue” principle will allow you to progressively overload your muscle fibers in a manner that is kinder to your CNS, by utilizing lighter loads.↙️Here is how it works:

Take a single joint movement (plate raise in this example) that primarily targets one muscle group. Perform a set to fatigue, or close to it, and then immediately follow it with a COMPOUND movement that targets the SAME muscle group, but with ASSISTANCE from OTHER muscle groups.

In our example, we “pre fatigued” the delts with the Plate Raise, but we were able to enhance the level of fatigue by allowing the “fresh” triceps to assist the delts deeper into fatigue on the pike pushups.💪🏻Other examples would be DB Flies into DB Floor Press, DB Bicep Curl into Chinups, TRX Leg Curls into KB RDL’s...the possibilities are numerous, so if you have a lagging muscle group, or want to avoid training “heavy” one day, give this a go!

If you want to do the exact workout I did, try it for yourself:

1A.) Pike Pushup x :40 (9-11 Controlled Reps)
Rest :10
1B.) Plate Raise x :40 (9-11 Controlled Reps)
Rest :10
Repeat for a TOTAL of 3 Cycles
