PUSHUPS
“Do your best to get all 25
reps in a clip,” says Ciresi. “If
you can’t get all 25 straight,
rest-pause to reach that rep
count.” You can start with
standard pushups, but to keep
things fresh, try them with
feet elevated (pictured).
THE WORKOUT
CHEST
EXERCISE
SETS REPS Bench Press 4 12 2-3 min.
REST
Incline
DB Press 4 10 2 min.
Cable Flye 2 20 1 min.
Pushup 2 25 1 min.
BENCH PRESS
Employ a spotter on this exercise, as the idea
here is to go as heavy as possible while not
letting your form sufer. Ciresi notes that by
the seventh rep, it should feel difficult, so that
hitting 12 reps is a true challenge. Don’t short-
change your rest periods on the bench; let
your muscles recover between sets.
