NEW YEAR,NEW YOU (WEIGHTS)

The instant V-taper plan Duration: 60 minutes Difficulty level: Intermediate Muscles involved: Shoulders · Chest · Back · Biceps · Triceps Focus: Build muscle · Fat loss Overview It's no secret how men can look in better shape: Build a wider chest, shoulders, and back, and suddenly your waist will look a lot smaller. Easier said than done, but not impossible. In fact, this workout has been showing to do just that-challenge all the muscles you need to look bigger, and structure it in a way where you just might burn some fat as well to actually make your stomach look smaller. How to do this workout? Perform the following workout two times per week. Make sure that you never perform these exercises on back-to-back days. When you see a number with a letter next to it-such as 1A and 1B-it means the exercises should be performed as a group. Do one set of the first exercise, rest for the prescribed amount of time, and then do one set of the next exercise in the group. Repeat until you've completed all of your sets for each exercise, and then move on to the next group. Circuit : Do 1 set of each exercise in a group consecutively, without rests in between. Once these exercises have been completed, repeat the circuit again - doing 1 set of each with no rests in between. Continue until prescribed number of total sets are performed Strength : Complete all sets of an exercise at the same time with rests in between. Then move to the next exercise. Superset : 2 moves done consecutively (like a circuit) with no rests in between.
