From stacking your workout to fuelling your day the right way with a protein pancake!
Stacking your exercises means, “ordering your workout in a way that feeds or flows from one exercise to another”. A more common term is circuit training. This format calls for continuous movement through the exercises within a circuit, until time or reps are completed.
In weightlifting, athletes will move seamlessly from one exercise to the next by ordering them into groups.
Key principles to create your stack workout:
- Focus on the same muscle groups, but in the opposite directions
- Target opposite muscles groups
- Isometric movement with cardio bursts
- Explosive movements with strength exercises
- Targeting muscles groups, but from different angles
After a gruelling circuit workout, it's time to refuel and replenish that body!
