STAGGERED SETS FOR CONSISTENT RESULTS!

STAGGERED SETS FOR CONSISTENT RESULTS!

Author: CHRIS WONG FITNESS |

For those of you who don't know what STAGGERED SETS are (and I['m assuming a lot of people, even in the fitness industry, don't know), it's a method of bringing up a lagging muscle group WITHOUT making any drastic changes to your workout. Here's how it works! Suppose you've got bad calves and there's a good chance you do since it's a pretty big club! You can do them in between EVERY set or every other set you do! Therefore without even realizing it, you're doing 15 sets or so of calf raises in a workout and it doesn't even feel like you did! This was one of the old training methods used in the 50s and 60s and for reasons I can't figure out, almost nobody does them or has even heard of them. Give them a try and 6 to 8 weeks later, you'll see some HUGE improvements. Here's an example of how you might use staggered sets.

1 set of Incline DB Press
1 set of Donkey Raises
1 set of Bentover DB Rows
1 set of Donkey Raises

Repeat this modified superset for the required number. I'd say to do about 4 or 5 total supersets before going onto the next thing. Or you could do 8 supersets and use the 8 sets of 8 reps, but that's another article! There are many ways you can use it, but the primary thing to remember is to be consistent. Just don't overtrain. If a little is good, more is not necessarily better!
