First you do 2 warmup sets, light weight, first set 20 reps, second set increase weight a bit and do 15-20 reps, without the struggle in last reps. Then you go to 3 “real” sets, where you increase the weight, so you are able to do 12 reps in first set, struggling with last 2 reps, but not compromising the form. Increase the weight a bit and do the second set, aim for 11 reps, struggling with last 2 reps, but not compromising the form. Increase the weight a bit again and do the third set, aim for 10 reps, struggling with last 2 reps, but not compromising the form.
Hi Nicole,
I want to get in the “figure stage shape” until June 2017, so I could even start thinking about doing the contest. I know I need to build muscle AND lose lots of fat – what a surprise :-). I’m about 25 % BF now, I’ve been working out regularly, but the diet is lacking. I was wondering which one I should concentrate on first – building muscle while keeping calories up OR implement more cardio/decrease calories to lose fat first while working out with weights OR some kind of mix (shredding some fat, than building muscle, then again concentrate on losing fat). I understand there are a lot of different approaches, but which one do you prefer?
Thank you,
Aleksandra
