Pre Workout Warm Up and Post Workout Cool Down – On All Workout Days If any of the following areas tend to be tight on you, or if you have some soreness from your workouts, take the time to foam roll both before and after your workout. Before your workout you should FOAM ROLL AFTER the cardio warm-up described on your program (normally a duration of about 5-10 mins). Once done foam rolling, you can commence your program. Finish with foam rolling at the end of your workouts as well.

Do as many as you can to failure (should be around 6-7 reps), immediately drop the weight down to the weight you used for the second set and perform as many reps as you can to failure. For the final drop, immediately drop the weight down to the weight you started the exercise with and rep out til failure with that one as well.
