THE THANG: Traditional body builder focused workout with the goal of complete muscle exhaustion to precipitate growth. The heaviest weight was used possible with a maximum of 5 reps with perfect form. Each target muscle flight started with a pre-fatigue movement without weight focusing on squeezing the muscle followed by a movement breakdown of lower target, upper target, full range motion. Then three, five second negative sets followed by a 15 second isometric or power hold to blow out the muscle. Each flight concluded with a plyometric exercise accompanied by a targeted muscle exercise again. The Weinke floated away several times!!
