Description

The exercises should be done with minimum rest between the sets and you should alternate the triceps and shoulder sets (1 set triceps, 1 set shoulders and so on). This way the different muscle groups get to rest while you're doing a different set. Consider the last three sets in the last two exercises as "dropsets" where you do 8 reps at max weight, lower the weight, do 8 more and so on. This totally tires out you muscles!
