How to exercise till failure when training at home?🤔
Okay ladies, this is something we all need to make sure we're doing. If you aren't working to the right intensity for your goal, then you're likely falling short on the progressive overload front and will find it harder to make good progress🙈
This can be harder to achieve when you're training at home and are limited on equipment. But like I always say, if it isn't challenging you then it won't change you!
Apply these tips to your training at home⬇️
1️⃣ Tempo: if you don't have the perfect weight for your ability at home, slow down the reps so you have to control the movement more. This is super important if you're training with resistance too! Aim for 3 seconds on the eccentric/downward phase of the movement, the more time under tension the better!
2️⃣ Add in a pause, this will ramp up the intensity even more. Make sure you aren't relaxing during the pause, keep your muscles engaged the whole time!🔥
3️⃣ Work in a drop set; this is great if the weights you have are a bit too heavy for you. Do as many reps as you can, then decrease the weight and go again. If you've got it in you drop the weight again and work until you literally can't lift any more🫠🌶️
4️⃣ Use resistance bands; you can add these to any weighted or bodyweight exercise. Just like using a cable machine, resistance bands keep constant tension through your muscles so you have to control the movement even more, and usually other muscles that you aren't targeting too, like your core!🙌🏻
Come back to this post next time you need to ramp up your session. Keep pushing it ladies🖤
