He uses different groupings of exercises to add variety and interest: single sets (one exercise, rest between sets), super sets (two exercises, alternate sets of each), and giant sets (three exercises, do one set of each, then repeat until all sets/reps are done).īack is worked first, with a single set of deadlifts. For some single sets, Sagi tacks on a fourth set of 8 reps at your not-quite-heaviest weight. The Body Beast drop sets are 15 reps at the starter weight, 12 reps at a higher weight and 8 reps at your heaviest. The idea behind drop sets is decreasing your reps while increasing weights. If you want to skip those, you could sub in another back exercise. You'll also need a pull-up/chin-up bar or a doorband attachment set up for the pullups and chinups. You'll need dumbbells, a barbell (optional)and weight bench (can substitute stability ball) for this workout. The workout is done in a stripped-down gym setting, with background music which plays when you're lifting weights the rest of the time is filled with Sagi talking, either giving instructions or encouragement. There is a workout timer which counts down total workout time, with a smaller counter that shows length of rest periods or the set you're doing.
#BODY BEAST BUILD BACK SERIES#
The format is the same for the whole Build series: Sagi leads two backgrounders (they change in each workout) through a brief warmup, a series of drop-set strength moves, and a brief stretch. A hard, intermediate-to-advanced upper body strength and mass-building workout.
