How we trained

These workouts combine the muscle-building benefits of drop sets with the fat-blasting bonus of circuit training. The aim is to complete all the rounds of the circuit as quickly as possible. Each workout starts with a high number of reps, which is reduced every round. That means your work decreases as your fatigue levels increase, so you shouldn’t reach failure on any exercise.
