Hey guys, this is Jeff Cavaliere back from athleanx.
I wanna show you something really cool.
You guys have asked me for some things that you can do...more chest stuff.
So here's one thing ...instead of kind of creating a whole new workout, let's take your
current chest workout and I'll give you a little tip you can do at the end to really
kind of finish your job when you're most tired.
I call it my "Crazy 8's".
Now basically what you're gonna do is you're gonna use some of the tripod pushups and we're
gonna choose over there three medicine balls.
So you're really gonna start to bring in core stability and my whole "time under tension"
concept that you guys know I love, which is gonna be longer time to perform each set.
So here's how we're gonna do it... we're basically gonna be at the end of our chest workout and
we're gonna come up on 8 reps of this exercise I'm gonna show you.
After you're done doing 8 reps, you're gonna wait 8 seconds and come down with 7 reps,
wait 7 seconds.
6 reps, 6 seconds...right down the ladder...it's gonna be 36 reps and you want to do it at
the end of the workout, 1-3 times, if you can.
You can't treat it like a set.
So I'm gonna head over and start doing this right now.
But you'll see how there are a lot of other elements into this than just the regular pushups,
especially because at the end of the workout it becomes much more difficult.
Medicine balls are harder than if you had kettlebells up here.
So basically, we're gonna try to balance ourselves here into this tripod position and now I'm
gonna head into my 8 reps... [pause]
Ok, now when I hold, obviously this isn't any ordinary hold.
This is a difficult hold...core strength.
Ok, 8 seconds.
[pause] And 7 and now we're technically supposed to
spend 7 seconds here.
I might speed it up a little bit for you guys, but that should be good for 7.
[pause] OK, we've got 6.
Guys, this is the hardest part, this holding part...
[pause] We're at 4.
Obviously, you can see everything's working.
There's our 4 seconds.
1,2,3 reps...we've gotta wait 3 seconds.
[pause] 2 reps....1,2...wait out two seconds.
One with our one second and pretty much collapse.
Now you throw this at the end of the workout, it's a real dropset which is really gonna
add on some muscle, because you're tapping in the fibres that you didn't know you had.
Keep working on this, guys.
I'll keep bringing these mini-tips to throw into your workout and everything else, but
if you want the whole system, if you wanna put it all together, get to athleanx.com right
now and start incorporating a lot of these techniques that hit more than just one target
area.
They do your core, your chest...kind of tie everything together to be athletic and get
that athlean physique.
Thanks, guys!
