Round 1
The first workouts of the week will be a heavyduty, all-out assault.
Complete all the sets and reps of a single exercise, taking every set to or near failure, then swap body parts for the next exercise for its full set and rep scheme.
Take sufficient breaks to build up your strength, but rather than continue to work that same muscle group again as in a traditional body-part workout, switch to the antagonist muscle. Once you complete that exercise, go back to the first muscle group and continue the cycle. The idea is to completely blast the muscle(s) via that particular exercise before attacking its antagonist partner.
Round 2
The second workouts of the week will be lighter, high-set, fatigue-inducing punishment.
Focus is on traditional superset/triset style workouts with no rest between exercises until all the exercises of the superset (or triset) are complete.
The split is scheduled so that all the upper-body training hits the weekend so you can strut around stacked, pumped, and in charge.

SUPPLEMENT SUPPORT SYSTEM
To ensure you’re able to keep up the torrid pace and are taking in the necessary nutrition for maximum growth and recovery, consume a solid spattering of amino acids on both the front and back ends of your workout, creatine at either side of your battle, and beta-alanine (to combat the buildup of lactic acid) pre-workout. Knock back a few shots of additional protein throughout the day to provide the support you need to combat this abusive training method. Throw in a test booster for additional strength aid, and you’ll be ready to blast through your workouts
