The men's fitness blog

I tried out a new technique today which I heard about a few weeks ago. It's called "running the rack" and I believe it was invented by Arnold Schwarzenegger. What I do know for sure, is that Arnie used this techniquewith great effect.

He used it in two main ways

1. With the bench press
2. With the dumbell curl

The idea is to take your usual heavy-ish weight, and repeat to failure. Then move down one weight and repeat to failure. This means your muscles are always under stress, and I can say from experience that it really gives you that Ron Burgundy "deep burn"!! But hey, no pain no gain, eh?!
