The 4-Hour Body - An Uncommon Guide to Rapid Fat-Loss, Incredible Sex, and Becoming Superhuman - Timothy Ferriss
Prep sets for all exercises should be
performed prior to your first real set at 5/5.
In practical terms, the rst few repetitions of each work set act as the warm-up. I have never
had a trainee injured using this protocol.
HOW SHOULD I WORK OUT WITH A PARTNER?
If you work out with a partner, ensure that your rest intervals remain consistent. Three minutes
should not bleed into three and a half because your partner is socializing or slow in changing
weights. This is nonnegotiable. I have always lifted alone and use training time as near-
meditative "me" time, which the counting of cadence reinforces. Many people bene t
tremendously from workout partners, but I don't appear to be one of them.
The exercises are chosen to be safe when performed alone. Even if you elect to train with
partners, do not let partners help you. It will lead to them lifting the weight while shouting "All
you!" This makes it impossible to know how much weight you actually lifted.
