Hypertrophy Workout for a Change

hypertrophy
noun  hy·per·tro·phy \hī-ˈpər-trə-fē\
plural hypertrophies
1. excessive development of an organ or part; specifically :  increase in bulk (as by thickening of muscle fibers) without multiplication of parts
2. exaggerated growth or complexity

Today we got away from our typical heavy weight, low repetition strength building workouts and went for a change just to mix it up a bit. Three to five sets of ten repetitions with somewhere between 30 seconds to one minute rest between sets. Pumped.

Warm-Up: Perform each exercise in order for one minute each. No rest between exercises.
Jump rope
AbMat Butterfly Sit-Up
Hand Release Push-Up
Workout: Hypertrophy Chest and Arms- 30 seconds to one minute rest between sets with one set of 15 Captains of Crush Grip Trainers per hand between each set.
Bench Press, 5 sets 10 repetitions
EZ Bar Curl, 3 sets 10 repetitions
Dumbbell Fly, 5 sets of 10 repetitions
Dumbbell Hammer Curl, 3 sets of 10 repetitions
Super Set: Perform each exercise in order to complete a set. Three sets total. No rest between exercises.
Incline Parallette Push-Up, 20 repetitions
AbMat Butterfly Sit-Up, 50 repetitions

Have a Great Day!!
