WEIGHTS

WARM UP

Follow recommended reps and individual exercises below using a lighter weight than you plan to use for your weights. Work at a steady pace and if you feel a strain during warm up, opt for a lighter weight.

Please note
Superset - one exercise followed by the other, rest, repeat.
Tri sets - all 3 exercises, rest, repeat desired sets.
Circuit - complete each exercise for one set, rest, repeat for desired sets.

Use a weight that is comfortable for you, if you are achieving past the rep range try and increase the weight (as long as you keep good form), if you don't meet the reps,  drop the weight.

After each set take  20 – 40 seconds rest, enough rest to achieve the reps in the next set.

It is important to ensure you exhale on the effort and ensure correct posture which can be found here.
