home workout tip light weights

I decided to shoot a video for this week to show you a way that you can overcome limitations in the weight of the dumbbells that you may be using.

I did this for 2 reasons…

1. I know that lots of guys following my ATHLEAN-X program are doing it at home, and don’t have access to a full rack of dumbbells from 5-95lbs!!

and

2. I know that most guys will mistakenly focus on just the AMOUNT OF WEIGHT that they are using to build muscle (big mistake!)

New video shows you what to do when you don’t have “heavy enough” weights!

what if i dont have heavy weightWhat I show you here is just one of the ways that you can change the effect of a set

….and ultimately change your physique!

Click here to see how the “Rapid 10” can help you overcome this common workout problem.

IMPORTANT: DON’T MAKE THIS MISTAKE

When you’re watching this video make sure you listen to the point I make at the end.

When it comes to adding muscle or losing body fat…focusing JUST on the amount of weight you’re using and the number of sets you’re doing isn’t going to cut it!!

In my ATHLEAN-X program, I make it a point to incorporate…

– pre-set and post-set techniques
– variable lifting tempos
– volume overload
– set speed changes
– variable rest
– different muscle grouping patterns
– and more….

Why?

Because ignoring all of the training variables at your disposal and focusing on just the weight that you are using is going to DRAMATICALLY decrease the results you should be seeing.

Stop making this training mistake today!!

Start following the ATHLEAN-X Training SYSTEM Here!

Vary your workouts in every way possible and keep the gains coming every day over the next 90 days!

Meantime, give this one technique a try if you need more convincing.

STAY STRONG…

Jeff

P.S. As I said, this is just one of the many techniques that you not only should know, but should be doing if you want to get maximal results from your workouts.
