Workout Notes:
If your legs are smoked from yesterday - skip the lunges.
OYC - On YOUR Count.
Go slow.
Control the weight.
Use strict shaping bias form.
The point of this workout is to continually build lactic acid in the muscle cells over multiple sets. If you rest too long, lactic acid clears and you don't get as good of a pump. Those who are best at shaping muscles on the human body (professional body builders) will tell you the "pump" is critical to muscle shaping success. No, we are not body building (compare our measly 3 sets of relatively high reps to their 30 sets of 6-12 reps.). While we don't embrace the body builder's methods, we surely can use their techniques to achieve our own.
