Yet what I appreciate about this is how Beast Abs respects your time. Many moves are also stuff you’ve probably seen before in P90X or Insanity, but there are a few surprises to keep you interested. As someone who deals with recovering from a shoulder injury, don’t crash and burn due to ego. Doing 35 lifts non-stop in a Progressive Set with the same weight as a standard Single Set would be lunacy. Resist being tempted to use the same weight as the BUILD version. So I would say the end goal is different. What makes the BULK version different is the addition of Progressive Sets ( rows and reverse flyes ). On the surface it might appear that BUILD: Shoulders and BULK: Shoulders are two similar workouts but the differences will become apparent once you grab the weights. So choose your weight wisely unless you want your spouse to come running down the stairs in panic over your cries of agony ( I think my wife is really starting to worry about me ). I can’t even begin to describe what it is like to arrive at 35 pounds in a progressive set and end it being unable to do a 10 pound bicep curl without screaming for a shot of morphine. This is alternating between biceps and triceps doing progressive, single and force sets. In fact, take the extra time you have and get some good stretching in. And considering that tomorrow is Arms day, I won’t complain. This is a traditional back workout with pull-overs, pull-ups, dead-lifts and a particularly agonizing force set ( do 5 reps, hold at bottom, repeat 5 times with same weight…sounds like it feels ) of one arm rows.īulk: Back lasts for only 29 minutes, but it is enough to get the job done because you won’t spend a second of your time screwing around. In many ways this is the same as Back and Biceps…minus the Biceps. Pure gold.īest Line: “Did you say your prayers? Did you eat your vitamins?” Final analysis? This will thrash your legs like nothing else will, so don’t skip your protein shake unless you want to walk like your octogenarian grandmother the next day. Don’t worry, it’s only as painful as it sounds. Sweet mutha…Īfter a roll call of squats and presses, you’ll end off with 2 sets of 50 calf raises. 15 reps, 12 reps, 8 reps then do it again in reverse. If you’re not screaming like a tortured banshee during the Progressive EZ Bar Split Squats, then you’re not doing it right. And the non-stop dynamic sets in Bulk:Legs will deliver. Some days, you just have to do a leg workout that means business. My goal? I want to be able to do that pec-twitch like that bad guy Chong-Li in Bloodsport. In short, if you want the kind of huge pectoral muscles that Ren prayed for ( Ren and Stimpy inside joke ) then this should do it. Sounds easy? WELL IT ISN’T! Each set is progressive starting with high reps/low weight until and moving up to lower reps/higher weight with a freaking drop-set at the end that makes your chest want to slide off your skeleton. You start off with incline presses meant to do some serious damage to your upper pecs and then you move into regular presses and decline push ups. PHASE 2: BULK CHESTĭynamic sets of death. Thus begins the analysis of Phases 2 and 3. The review continues as the Dysfunctional Parrot keeps climbing the mountain of Body Beast.
