________

Tempo: 3 – 1 – 1
Reps: 12 – 15 reps per exercise
Sets: 3 per exercise
Do this routine 3 – 4 times weekly

Exercises
1) Shoulder Presses (2 – 4kgs each)
2) Lat Pulldown (15 – 20kgs)
3) Bent-Over Dumbbell Row (4 – 6kgs each)
4) Bicep to Lateral Raises (2 – 4kgs each)
5) Rope to Face Pull (8 – 10kgs)

The weights should be heavy enough for you to lift between 12 - 15 reps. If you can lift more than 15 reps, then you need to increase the weight. If you struggle to lift up to 12 reps, then the weight is too heavy for you, reduce it.

________

This workout is based on HYPERTROPHY strength training. What is muscle hypertrophy? Muscle hypertrophy involves an increase in size of skeletal muscle cells (hence, weight gain). The goal of most hypertrophy exercises is progressive hypertrophy, ensuring each workout taxes the muscles more that previous through training manipulation.

What you need to consider and be aware of every time you are undergoing hypertrophy exercises is:

1) Time under tension which is how long each repetitions or sets takes.
2) Repetitions. Optimal reps range for hypertrophy is between 8 to 12 reps.
3) Tempo. How fast and slow you move the weight through the eccentric, concentric and isometric faces. For this, it's 3 - 1 - 1 tempo. 3 seconds eccentric, 1 second concentric and 1 second isometric.
