Bursting with Strength Training

You can apply burst training several different ways

It’s important that you choose only compound exercises such as push-ups, pull-ups, squats, jumps, cleans, etc.. it is not wise to do isolation exercises with burst training.

 

The reason for compounds movements is because they utilize more than one muscle group. 

  • Pick between 2-5 exercises such as push-ups, pull-ups, squats, jumps, cleans, etc..
  • Perform each exercise one right after the other…than rest 2-5 minutes.
  • That’s one cycle, do that 2-3 more times.
  • It should take about 10-15 minutes.

If you’re not exhausted, in need of rest after one cycle,

you didn’t stress the muscles enough.
