Fit Tip of the Week

When you really want to push yourself past your limit, try partial reps.

Finish your normal training set (3 or 4 sets, right?!), keeping the same weight but increasing your speed and lifting only half-way.  Take bicep curls for example; you're completing your third set of 12 reps and your arm just won't lift anymore past your elbow...been there right, huh?...continue on until failure just at the half lift.  Stop if you cannot maintain good form!  Elbows pinned at your sides and not leaning back looks great.  Really knock these out and go as fast as you can.  Check out your hypertrophy in a couple of weeks!
