Warm-Up
Before we start, I want to remind you to never skip your warm-up!
It’s just as important as your actual workout.
Just to give you a few important facts on why you should warm up:
- Increases blood flow
- Reduces the chance of injury
- Increases range of motion
- Improves performance
I could go on and keep rambling about the importance of warming up but I already did that in a different article. (click below to learn more)

How to approach it?
The bodybuilding workout is an EMOM workout. (What is an EMOM?)
You will work for 40 seconds and rest for 20 seconds.
If you don’t know how many reps you will be able to do within 40 seconds, make sure to use the first of three rounds as a baseline.
Whatever number of reps you will get during the first round, try to keep that number throughout the next two rounds as well.
The 20 seconds rest should give you enough time to have a decent break and move from exercise to exercise.
If you feel like you are falling off your initial pace from the first rounds, don’t be afraid to scale down the reps from the previous round.
In case you don’t want to watch the time at all times, make sure to set up a running clock that gives you a sound signal when the next minute of work starts.
