Random Tip #2
Workout with a spotter. Trust me, you will get so much more out of your workout you will wonder how you managed without one.
A spotter helps you get those last reps out of each set. You know the ones that usually threaten to crush you because you cannot push the weight anymore, well a finger or two from a spotter allows your good workout to become an absolutely mental one.
By getting those last reps out you push your body harder into an adaptive response which means your body will work harder to get stronger and bigger post workout. Your pumps will be massive and your muscles huge.
Take a friend with you, someone that is somewhere around your fitness level and help each other. Yell at each other under the weights because that is what we need every so often. Someone to yell at us and remind us that we haven’t quite got it yet, though we are most certainly working towards our goals.
So next workout push it that much harder with a proper spotter.
Randomness:
Yah, working out with a partner definitely helps.. with a spotter, you get the extra confidence to try and get the last few reps in, since you got someone to assist you if needed! Good tip!
