Why This Workout Works

This workout is built around the principles of endurance training. Use lighter loads (40-60% 1RM) with high reps. Minimize rest between sets to challenge your cardiovascular system. Circuit training and supersets are particularly effective. Focus on maintaining form even as fatigue accumulates.

Training Parameters

  • Rep Range: 15-25 repsdesigned for sustained muscular effort
  • Rest Periods: 30-45 secondsshort rest to maximize calorie burn
  • Sets Per Exercise: 2-3 sets — optimized for endurance

Glutes Training Tips

  • *Hip thrusts allow the highest glute activation of any exercise — load them heavy.
  • *Squeeze at the top of every rep for a full second to maximize the contraction.
  • *Wider stances in squats and deadlifts shift more work to the glutes.
