Hey lovelies, I'm getting ready to take my CPT exam in a few weeks. I've been trying to really push myself in my workouts, while still being really time efficient. Below is a great chest and tricep workout I did on sunday. I tried to keep my rest between sets to 45 to 60 seconds. On the last set of each exercise, I did a dropset.
A dropset means reaching failure, dropping the weight by 5-20% and continuing the set with more reps to failure. Usually a dropset is done with about 2-4 drops. If you have questions about the workout tweet me @chicinsneakers or shoot me an email (chicinsneakers.blog@gmail.com)!
I included video links you can click on to see a quick video of the exercise with forms cues if you're not familiar with these moves.
Enjoy!
