Do Opposites Attract?

Yes, yes they do. Well maybe not when we discuss certain things, but for magnets and weight lifting, opposites are great together!  For instance, when you lift chest, you can also lift legs. Why? Because your muscles have time to recuperate while your heart rate does not. This can lead to increased gains for both your muscles and your metabolic rate. Basically it is a win win win. The third win coming from you not resting thus increasing your  respiratory rate. Oh wait, there is one more win... Instead of sitting around bored between sets, you finish your workout in half the time! Workout smarter, not longer! So here is the routine to get all those wins.

** Preform each lift for 25 reps. Use weight that forces you to get 4-6 reps each set. Go back and forth between A and B until all reps are completed **

1A. Bench Press
1B. Dead Lifts

2A. Weighted Dips
2B. Good Mornings with Plate

3A. Shoulder Press
3B. Romanian Dead Lifts

Bike for 5 minutes at a slow and controlled rate

4A. Wide Grip Pullups
4B. Squats

5A. Bent Over Rows
5B. Dumbbell Lunges

6A. Chinups
6B. Side Lunges


Do you get the opposite reference now?
