Running the Rack

Workout Notes:

  • This one can be a very long workout. Only a few will finish inside of 35 min. Know this, it wasn't designed to be a 45-60 min workout. If you are still working out past 40 min you might have done it wrong. Consult a trainer for tips on economizing. 
  • Running the Rack: How to
  • How to know if you have maxed out a set? If you can't get 10 good reps - you are done. If you are taking a long time between sets - you are done. If your form is breaking down to the point where your exercise is not effective, nor efficient - you are done. If your form breaks down the point where you may become injured - you are done. 
  • It is extremely important to keep transition times between your sets of 10 to a bare minimum today.  Doing so will help you attain and maintain "maximum pump," which is particularly important for gaining max benefits from this specific workout.
  • This workout closely mimics a bodybuilding workout.  The great Larry Scott (the world's first Mr Olympia - he won it 2x) taught me, "The key to bodybuilding is attaining a good pump."  I had the distinct privilege of working (and working out) with this living legend during a pivotal time in my career.  He exemplified the concept of "Optimal Health."  Here is a pic of him in his mid 60s.  He is a very gracious and generous man.  He would be thrilled to know I am passing along some of his tips on to you.       
  • We are simply not limited to any ONE concept, or methodology.  We find usefulness in many proven concepts and methods.  We've made it a point to become educated and experienced in many other ways, so that we may bring a more efficient and effective program to you.
