Muscle Burn Workout

Muscle Burn System :

 

 

Muscle Burn training system will help you build muscle and strength by focusing on three different training approaches, all used in the same workout. You will be performing the following types of sets for each muscle group:

 

 

Power. You will perform power sets to lead off the workout. Power sets are performed in the 3 to 5 rep range. Use the same weight for each of the sets. When you can perform 5 reps for all power sets, move up in weight. Major muscle groups will perform 2-4 power sets per workout, and minor muscle groups will perform 2 power sets per workout. that for some minor muscle groups, power sets do not make sense, or they are not realistic. For example, it is difficult to perform extremely heavy resistance abdominal sets.

 

Muscle. Muscle sets are performed in the 6 to 12 rep range. Use the same weight for each of the sets. When you hit the upper rep limit of 12 for all muscle sets, move up in weight. Major muscle groups will perform 4-6 total muscle sets in each workout, using 2 different exercises. Minor muscle groups will perform 2-4 total muscle sets in each workout, using 1 to 2 exercises. You can also perform a single exercise for 3 sets.

 

 

Burn. You will perform 1-2 burn sets for each muscle group - generally using isolation movements. Pick a weight that allows you to hit 15 to 20 reps, and then perform 40 total reps. How? Do as many reps as possible, then take a slight rest and perform more reps. Rest only long enough to regain the energy and willpower to perform 1 to 3 more reps. Keep pushing yourself through the pain until you hit 40 total reps. When you can hit 25+ reps from the start without stopping, add weight. Major muscle groups will utilize 2 burn sets, minor muscle groups will use 1-2 burn sets.

 

 

Failure - I do not recommend training to failure. Try to perform each set until you feel like you may fail on the next rep, then stop. It's ok if you occasionally fail on a set, but do not purposely try to train to failure on every set.

 

Progression - You must have the goal of progressing on every set of every workout. Sets performed with a half-hearted effort are wasted. If you lack energy or are pressed for time, it's better to perform fewer quality sets then it is to waste sets.

 

Splits - You can split this system numerous ways, but remember that training more then 4 days per week is generally not beneficial for natural bodybuilders. What is the best split? The one you will use and stick with.

 

Small Tweaks - What if I don't like training in the 6 to 12 rep range, and want to train in the 6 to 10 rep range? Then train in the 6 to 10 rep range. What if I don't like training in the 3 to 5 rep range? Then train in the 4 to 6 rep range. 40 burn reps are too difficult!? Then aim for 30 burn reps.

 

Note: small tweaks are ok, as long as you are using the core mechanisms of this program. Don't obsess about the details - obsess about moving weight and getting bigger!

 

Alternating Exercises - It is not a bad idea to alternate exercises every other week. You can't possibly fit every exercise into every workout. For example: for muscle sets you could hit dumbbell bench presses one week and chest dips the next week.

 

Total Sets - It is better to start with the minimal amount of sets, and build in to this routine by adding sets if you find you need more work.

 

Calves - Please note that there are no power sets for calves. I am not convinced that calves respond effectively to lower rep training.

 

Quads - If you love pain, you can do a single 20 rep set of squats for your quad burn work.

Rest Pause workout plan

What is Rest Pause Training?

 

RP-21 is based on the rest pause technique of training.  Rest Pause is a high value, high intensity training style that is not new at all.  As we know most people do not truly commit to a goal when training.  The common theme is that a person wants to achieve max levels of all attributes simultaneously.  Admirable, but sadly mistaken.

You cannot chase every goal at once.  What I want to make crystal clear before moving forward is this.  If your goal is specific (strength, performance, etc) no single program can cover every base perfectly.

RP-21 would not be his main training scheme throughout the year.  His goals are different.  He would need to feel heavier loads with longer rests which are not a part of RP-21.  Remember this is a blended program, not a specific one.  You will get very strong, but this is not a strength specialization plan.  This is a total body reconstruction plan.

When training for strength, performance, and lean mass you need a scheme that allows for progressive overload.  Without a challenge (load, reps, shorter rest, etc) you are wasting time in the gym.  Muscles need new challenges to grow.

3×10 every week with 135lbs on the bench is for casual jabronis.  And you are better than that.  What if there was a were a way to keep the weight moderately heavy to heavy (70-85% of maximum) while performing more reps with that heavy load in a shorter time frame?

For example if you squat 225×5 for 4 sets resting 3 minutes in between rounds, that is 12 minutes of rest plus let us estimate up to 30 seconds per set.  You are probably up near 14-17 total minutes to complete that series of 20 reps.  But what if you did 235×3 for 7 sets resting one minute in between rounds.  That is 7 minutes of rest plus the estimated 15-20 seconds per set.  This puts us at 9-11 minutes to complete those 21 reps while using a heavier load.

Rest pause allows you to use a heavier weight broken down in smaller increments to reach a higher volume of work in less time.  Don’t you think your legs will respond differently?  Could the ultimate blend of using higher weight for higher reps be created?

As I stated earlier, the concept of rest pause is not new.  This scheme involves 8 sets of 8 reps with a very short (15-30 seconds) rest between sets.

Obviously with a rest interval this short, the load could not be but so heavy or you would have zero chance to complete it.  But with RP-21 we are getting a blend of strength and conditioning.

With RP-21 the goal is muscular strength, better performance.  you will be strong, athletic, muscular, and walking around with new confidence.  RP-21 focuses on 7 rest-paused sets of 3 reps each with 70-85% of your max.  The wildcard is that the rest periods are only one minute in between sets.

For example 300lbs is your max full squat.  Using 70% of your max would leave you at 225lbs.  You would use 225lbs for each set of 3 until you reached 21.  I would recommend you starting on the low end of the percentage at 70.  You do not want to set yourself up to NOT be able to progress in the following weeks.

The opening sets and weight may not feel supremely tough.  As each week progresses in the program, the weight gets heavier and the rest feels like it is getting shorter.  You are guaranteed to run into a wall of pain and doubt very soon.  RP-21 will sneak up on you like Tebow against the Steelers.

Now with training all variables are changeable.  Rest periods could be altered to make the set more intense, but that will limit the load you can use.  Run this program as written to maximize it.  So stick to the one minute rest to maintain heavy loads.  Trust me on the big compound movements it gets real!

Initially, I would use 70% of your max for the first week to get a feel for the protocol.  I would suggest a 5-10lb increase on squat or deadlift each week and a 2.5-5lb increase on bench press or overhead press or chin up/dip.  Progress slowly because the goal is not to hit the wall and burn out.  The 21 reps should not be a leisurely walk in the park with your lover.

The RP-21 set is the most important set of your day, so prepare your mind for it.  As you progress through the program, doubt should creep into your brain as you get closer to 21.  And sometimes, you may not make it to 21.  If you fail and say the total rep number is 15 for that day in your squat, you will try to improve on that the next week.  If you cannot reach 21 at a certain weight within 3 workouts, you will sub out that move for a different one that targets the same muscles.

  

Frequency:

When I initially designed RP-21 there were two different frequency schemes.  Not that either one is bad, but I have evolved it a bit.  This is a 4 day lifting split.  There will be two lower body days and two upper body days.  Your big movement of the day will be the RP-21 scheme.  7 sets x 3 reps with a 1 minute rest period.  For your RP-21 moves I recommend:

In time you will need a weight belt for chins/dips if you are not already there at the moment. Using the right moves will have you on the path to success.

Moves:

The main moves can be used as the accessory moves too if you choose.  The accessory moves will be slightly modified rest pause sets using a 6 sets by 5 reps method with a 30 second rest between sets.  The 6×5 sets are muscle incinerators as they are also performed with a moderate load that feels HEAVY after a few short rounds.

The 6×5 sets are tougher than the 7×3 sets.  But these are the sets where you earn your conditioning and toughness.  Accessory moves should start much lower than your 7×3 sets.  50-55% of your max is a good starting point.

Scheme:

Perform as 2 day on/1 day off/2 day on/2 days off scheme.  This is a sample scheme focusing on the basic moves that build the best physique.  The good part about RP-21 is that we are flexible with movements.  As I stated earlier, rotating your squats, deadlifts, presses etc is a great idea.  Worrying about trying to find out where to add in your cable crossovers or your machine bicep curls is a bad plan for success.

There is a term for this and it is called majoring in the minors.  The moves that you need to do will be responsible for the vast majority of your results.  The moves that look flashy in the magazines will not help you.   Focus on the basic moves to build a complete physique.   Follow the same moves for 3 weeks before thinking about making slight changes to movements.
