"How do change completely and do it with enthusiasm."
|
Always at least one warm up set, low weight, high reps, until I feel a light tension. All sets are to failure, rest between sets is about 10-20 seconds, no more, just enough to catch a breath. Between each exercise maybe a minute or two.
Focus is on strict form, I do each rep on a decent pace, a bit slower on the negative, I try to do it as fast as possible without using any momentum or swing. I try to get to 12 reps in the first set, sometimes I can do 11 in the second, sometimes only 10. I keep my weight up until I can't get 6 clean reps, then I lower unless it's my last set.
About full range of motion : I try to get a good stretch on each muscle, I keep it under tension during the entire rep, making sure never to lock out and relieve it from the weight. Yes, this sometimes limits the range of motion just a bit.
