USP labs Iron Day - Back, Biceps and GPP

Posted on July 5, 2012 by John Davies There have been 0 comments

Through the fifty-eight previous editions of the “USPlabs Iron Day” we have been able to provide our readers a broad array of training regimes to reflect their goals. Whether your interest lay in strength and bodybuilding pursuits, weight loss, needs of the military and law enforcement community or athletics, these training guides can serve as a tremendous blueprint towards goal achievement.
 

 
Here's what people are saying about TestPowder:
"I felt like I was fearless in the gym today, just attacking every weight I got after. I know without a doubt that I left all everything on the gym floor and didn't hold anything back today. It was a solid day for improvement. TEST Powder is really starting to shine for me. I'm really seeing what it is capable of now. I've had great workouts this week, crushing PR's, amazing recovery and quality sleep. Vascularity is really coming through in my arms, and chest. Big things are happening."- Montecedillo

This effort came about due to radically improved technology that allows us to communicate with readers to which we are ability to quickly respond to their needs. With an open line of communication via Twitter, Google+ and Facebook we have been able to provide up-to-date information on efficient exercise approaches and ensure all readers utilise USPlabs products to their utmost.

This commitment to providing information has taken a tremendous leap forward with the very recent release of the USPlabs | Ultra Premium Supplements educational library which houses considerable videos on proper exercise technique and suitable for virtually every method of training. As we push forward with the USPlabs Iron Day we will be making great use of these videos and I invite you to share with your friends.
 
As per our original intent of the USPlabs Iron Day, each Friday we will provide a daily training program (per reader choice), with a follow up supplement protocol on Facebook. Readers would cast their vote via Twitter (through either direct message or the “@” function) or Facebook and decide the topic.
 
After much consideration, this week’s episode of the USPlabs Iron Day is designed to assist athletes looking to shed excess weight and improve general fitness levels.

Barbell Bent-over Row (underhand grip) / Wide-grip Chin-Up 3-4 sets x 6 reps

Biceps
All sets are to be performed with twelve to sixteen repetitions in adherence of the following protocols:
Laws of bicep training
Contraction: At the apex of each repetition, squeeze the muscle hard for a two to three count. This will be considerably easier with the Biceps section but entirely possible in Back work, particularly in Pull-ups and One-arm roses.
Tempo: Control the concentric action and eccentrically lower the weight properly three times slower (often referred to 3:0:1).
This is performed as a giant set with thirty to forty-five second breaks between movements. Repeat four total circuits!
