Bodybuilding Supplement Secrets

THE LOW REPS AND HIGH REPS
MUSCLE BUILDING ROUTINE

By Phil Henson

This bodybuilding technique uses two opposite reps systems - low rep sets of 6 combined with high rep training for sets of 20 reps. The idea is to use heavy weight for your sets of 6 reps to stimulate muscle hypertrophy and hardness, while the sets of 20 reps create a pump and help build blood vessels.

Rest 3 minutes between sets on the 6 rep sets - you may have to decrease the weight each set to make the 6 reps. Rest 1 to 2 minutes between sets on your 20 rep sets.

Make sure to get at least 1.5 grams of protein per pound of bodyweight per day (example - a 200 pound man needs at least 300 grams of protein per day) and at least 8 hours of sleep per night! Here is a sample program, you need to tailor the program based on your own levels of recovery:
