Tri-Set Training for Time Efficient Muscle Growth

[01dragonslayer]

Have you ever faced challenges that made it seem difficult to get a good quality workout in? Whether you’re pressed for time because of a busy schedule or the equipment selection in your gym is limited, life will always throw us curveballs that complicate our normal workout routine. When you’re faced with an inconvenience like being limited on time, weights, or equipment, take a page out of a pro bodybuilder’s playbook and use advanced weightlifting techniques like Tri-Set training to ramp up the intensity of your workout. This will allow you to get in the gym and crush your workout even with limitations.

What Is Tri-Set Training?​

Tri-Set Training involves doing three exercises in succession with limited rest between exercises. While this method is sometimes applied across different body parts when you use it to target a single group so you can really feel the intensity. You can utilize Tri-Set Training for any body part but using it for large muscle groups will likely give you the greatest variety of exercises to choose from.

Also, research on Tri-Set Training indicates that it can increase the intensity, muscle damage, and metabolic response to exercise, making it an efficient method to increase hypertrophy. [1,2,3]

How To Do A Tri-Set​

You’ll perform one set of each exercise in the workout in succession with limited rest (10 seconds or less) between exercises. Once you’ve done all three exercises, you’ve done one Tri-Set. For this workout, we’ll do a total of 4 sets per exercise, meaning you’ll do four total Tri-Sets.
