Monster sets involve back-to-back sets that target opposing muscle groups. Monster reps use the same weight for additional reps after failure on the last set. Rest times between sets are specified to keep muscles constantly pumped. Exercises should be done with heavy weight until muscle failure. The last set of each exercise uses monster reps. Warmups prepare muscles before the chest and back workout, which includes exercises like dumbbell presses, rows, and flyes performed for multiple sets and reps.

DEFINITIONS & TIPS

MONSTER SETS: Monster sets are back to back sets using exercises that target opposing mus-
cle groups

MONSTER REPS: Use the same weight that allows you to do the 8 reps on the last set. After
completing 8 reps, rest 10 seconds and do another set till failure.

REST TIMES BETWEEN SETS: Every phase has specifc rest times. I encourage you to use
a stopwatch
stop watch to track the amount
amou nt of rest between every set. This will ensure your mus-
cles are constantly pumped and that you have high intensity workouts every time to keep your
muscles growing.

TILL FAILURE: This means do the maximum number of repetitions of an exercise until your
muscles fail, or can’t do anymore.

AMOUNT OF WEIGHT TO USE: Use the heaviest weight possible to reach the designated amount
of reps. If your goal is to complete 8 reps, then the weight you use must have you reach failure
at the 8th rep.

* DB stands for Dumbbell


* BB stands for Barbell

* The last set of every exercise are performed with Monster Reps.
