Finishers!!!


You’ve done your heavy sets….. You’ve done your accessory lifts….. You’ve tickled the abs…. now what?

 
Meet the “finisher”!

 
The majority of trainers or conditioners would think of a finisher as a “five minute blast” of a “met con” but in reality, a finisher is an exercise that compliments your main objective within the workout....for example, if you've benched that day, then you find a finisher that hits the chest and triceps (Ring Push Up Drop Set).

You usually perform the exercises to failure, aiming for one almighty set!  It’s not a CrossFit style haphazard combination of exercises. You need to think about what your goals are for that workout and THEN figure out what your finisher will be.
 
 
Below are a list of variety of different finishers that you could incorporate into your workouts.

 
Upper Body Finishers:

Ring Push Up Drop Set


 
Inverted Row “Burnout” Set



Inverted Row Drop Set (An absolute killer!!)



Lower Body Finishers:

Goblet Skater Squats


 
Chain RDL


 
Landmine Reverse Lunges


 
Just a word of warning; if your looking for an easy route then your in the wrong place. Finishers are meant to be tough.
 
Don’t bitch and squeal. Embrace and adapt.


Until next time

Stay Strong
