BUILD MUSCLE WITH FUNK’S HIGH REP TRAINING WEEK

FUNK’S HIGH REP TRAINING WEEK



If you are looking to gain strength and increase your muscle size, then my High Rep workout week is the answer. This workout is part of my 8 week transformation program.

With High Rep training you do just that lots of reps using very low weight. High rep training works because the high volume of blood forced through the veins and arteries while working out with high reps will carry with it important muscle building nutrients to feed the training muscles.

High rep training enhances the thickness of the capillaries within the muscle, it increases the diameter (size) of the blood vessels within the muscle, and stimulates the formation of new blood vessels, all of which are responsible for making your muscles bigger in size and mass.

I don't recommend this style of training all the time but it is a great way to add a whole new dimension to your body. The last time I used this training week, my muscles exploded.

Workout Tips
- Perform the below workouts for one week
- Use strict form when performing the exercises
- Increase the weight from set to set and week to week
- Be intense and get the most of every minute in the gym
- Add cardio, abs and a healthy eating plan to maximize muscle growth and fat burn
