Legs and Shoulders Intensity Routine

Intensity training will provide the greatest results. Volume training doesn’t work effectively.

You need to follow the “all-or-nothing” principle when in the gym, meaning you need to contract the muscle to its fullest potential with the heaviest loads possible. Either all of your muscle fibers are being utilized and you will grow or only some of your muscle fibers will be required, not forcing enough of an impetus to grow. Here is a highly intense routine to perform with back and shoulders. This will provide you incredible results. Although it’s only a few sets per bodypart, each one is to complete failure and will force your muscles to be stimulated.
