The

The "One-and-a-Half" Method

This is a fantastic way to emphasize the most important aspect of an exercise and to create tremendous growth in your muscles! First in any set you do a complete rep of a movement, followed by a half rep and then alternating full and half reps until the set is finished. When you do this, make sure that the half rep is very slow and very strict. Hold the weight momentarily at the extreme point of the movement, then lower it slowly, totally under control. Here are great examples: For dumbbell curls for Biceps, curl the weight all the way up and then lower it half way down and Then get a half rep, let the weight down under control and then repeat this Process till your set it finished. This emphasizes the peak of your biceps! You can do this with any exercise, just emphasize the most important aspect of the exercise. If your concentrating on a peak contraction, give That the half rep, if your concentrating on lets say the lower area of a muscle such as the lower bicep, then do your half rep in that range of Motion. Have Fun! And Stay Strong!
