Thread: Gopro's Shock part

they are all supersets and drop sets

question regarding supersets,

do you usually lift lighter for those?
seems like it would be easy to get injured

I hate asking what seems to be ignorant questions. But I will ask....

I have gone over Gopro's Power - Rep Range - and Shock exercise program.

As I look at the Reps and sets for Shock, I can't see what or how this is "shocking" the body?

What is shock supposed to do? It doesn't seem much different than the other portions (minus the drop-sets).

You don't see how supersets and drop sets are "shocking" to the body/muscles? Have you ever used these techniques?

During the first exercise your strength will be normal, but for the second you must expect a considerable drop off in strength as the muscle has already been greatly taxed.

Indeed, I experience a drop off in strength moving to my second lifts in a normal power or repition routine. In addition, when I do supersets with my abs I can't do anywhere near the amount of repititions I can do with unworked abs by the time I get to the second exercise.

I started following your download recently, and yes Gopro, I like it a lot. I am more sore than before. It works for me. You've been very helpful to me and everyone else!

i love the drop sets and the supersets, i usually throw them in at the end of my workout to speed up things and to get the final burn. I haven't tried your power, rep, shock routine, but what i do is sort of the same thing,just not as structuralized, the main key is to always switch it up

Excellent. Glad you are enjoying the program!

Helping people is what life's about.

I didn't state my original post/question fully. My question was based on the physiological side, not if it gets results. I am trying to educate myself as much as possible and am reading a lot. That is why at times, I ask these questions, which I don't like askin'

I got so curious I checked you out on Google!

Just READING the workout shocked me I'm going to try it as soon as I finish the routine I'm on.
