The Workout

When getting through this workout, I’m all about super-setting. That means we’re going to work one muscle group and then while that one is taking a rest we’ll work another muscle group (usually that performs the opposite motion). Simply put – you work the pushers while the pullers are taking  a rest. Does that make sense? Because if not – it sure will before you know it…
