SORRY, AM I SPEAKING TOO LOUD? LET'S DO SOME SHOULDERS & TRIS

Funny thing people are. Human nature I mean, it's funny.I noticed how simple words written or spoken, or cute little catch phrases cause a distinct reaction. For example....six minute abs, jogging, low impact, south beach diet, light training and my favorite.... high reps. They all seem to spark interest almost as to say, "Yea, this is gonna be easy and I will look like that fitness model arched over that can of muscle miracle growth serum!!!"

On the other hand, high intensity, heavy weights, squats, deadlifts, pull-ups, sprinting and my very own program H.I.G.T all seem to scare the hell out of the average trainer. C'mon, the bottom line my friends is fitness and the above average body with a low body fat percentage and defined lean muscle tissue is serious work. It's not gonna be easy.

Please stop the emails declaring my training program and its principles as extreme. They just require you to forget what you are bombarded with by the media and that old gym teacher of yours and become openminded to a modern way of achieving that strong muscular sculpted image you have of yourself. Now lets train!

SHOULDERS & TRICEPS
Remember these exercises are performed from one to the next. Two exercises = one set. Then 30 seconds of rest maximum. Begin next set ( exercises described below )

Seated military press into tricep cable push-downs (4 sets with progressively heavier weight. max 30 sec rest )

One arm seated dumbell presses into close grip tricep presses (4 sets with progressively heavier weight. max 30 sec rest )

Dumbell one arm front raises into dips (4 sets with progressively heavier weight. max 30 sec rest )

Side dumbell raises into dumbell kickbacks (4 sets with progressively heavier weight. max 30 sec rest )

Barbell shrugs into close grip push-ups (4 sets with progressively heavier weight. max 30 sec rest ) Followed by 15 min of intense rope work (skipping rope) 80% MHR

congrats...not so bad right? Day 3 of H.I.G.T, day 4 complete body circuit.
