Day 25: RTP Group Shred & Supersets Upper Body

RTP Group Shred Countdown

It is currently early in the morning in Osaka, current base for RTP.com. In around 14 hours or so the first public group shed pics will be posted on the RTP site and mine will be included (10 people doing in the public shred). There are also a number of people (9 I think) doing a private shred, the only difference is that they will post the pics on their own blogs.

So please show your support by using the comments in this blog and also by going to RTP.com, the link is in the Blog Links section on the right and supporting everyone who is taking part. This is not a group competition, each person including myself are using it to either kick off a new start or to add additional motivation to are existing routines.

We are also joining in this to show are support for Adam, this 14 days are the last 14 in his Mission 3 and will see out the first year of his RTP blog, so we are showing are appreciation by joining in with him....Good Luck Adam.

Supersets

I tested out the new routine today as there were some new exercises for me and it went well. I reckon there will be a few aches and pains tomorrow!!

So what are supersets...supersets are essentially two exercises performed back to back that target opposing muscle groups, namely one agonist and one antagonist muscle group. Examples of such muscles are the biceps and triceps, hamstrings and quads, and chest and back

I will go through the exact routine's from Sunday onwards when I start in earnest. I will see how this goes but I will give it 110% focus over the next 2 weeks. I have to admit that I am still slightly skeptical about the drop in cardio but we will see what the results are like over the next 2 weeks.

This, I think is what it is all about, trying new methods and see if they work. Remember we are all different, so it may work for most but not for you and this is what can be most frustrating when you are trying to improve your fitness or lose fat. There are very few 100% guarantee's only opinions, recommendations, techniques and it is then down to you to try them, evaluate, tweak until they work for you or until you move on and try something different.

And remember just because you got great results in the first 3 - 4 weeks does not mean they will last forever, the body will adapt and in my experience generally quicker than you think so keep it guessing and change your routines, nutrition regularly.

That's it for me today, remember to check this blog and the RTP blog over the next 14 days, tomorrow is Day 1, it's going to be an interesting 2 weeks.

Until tomorrow....
