Average Cardio Intensity

This workout focuses on the chest and incites optimal muscle growth with a drop set protocol. The drop set protocol entails you complete the first set, and then "drop" or reduce the weight for another set. You will perform 5 sets of increasing rep range for each exercise, so you will need 5 plates on each side to ensure you can drop the weight for each set. This protocol is perfect for stimulating metabolic hypertrophy and adding volume, both of which will help you put on muscle. Intermediates looking for a workout to build muscle on their chest should try this out.
