                    WARM-UP SETS










                        Usually consists of 2 sets when you begin your first exercise.
                       Those 2 sets are meant to activate and increase blood flow to
                       working muscles to prepare them for your heavy working sets.
                       Supersets: Performing 2 exercises back to back without rest
                       Until failure: Performing an exercise until your muscles
                       completely give out
                       Dropsets: Starting with a heavier weight, and then immediately
                       performing the same exercise with a lighter weight. This can be
                       in descending or ascending order. Such as a pyramid: 15, 20, 30
                       or 30, 20, 10.
                       Rest time: The specific amount of time you rest in between
                       each exercise
                       Muscle mind connection: Visualizing and concentrating in your
                       mind on the specific muscle(s) being worked in the exercise.
                       This helps you engage and contract the specific muscle further                                                         6
                       for optimal results
                       Tempo: The rate at which you complete a specific motion: such
                       as the descending motion in a barbell curl
