How to perform this difficult strength workout
For each exercise, perform three sets of 10 repetitions, resting 60 seconds between sets. Use a challenging weight that allows you to complete all reps. If you can’t complete all reps you are using too much weight, decrease. However, make sure using a weight that is challenging to complete the final rep. No slacking with light weights. It’s OK to play around with your reps and tempo. Go a little heavier in weight and drop your reps down to six, especially if you are pressed for time. Lower reps, use a slower tempo like 4-1-1. Otherwise, use a tempo of 3-1-1 or 2-1-2, whatever works for you.
