SUPER 8 SET CHEST WORKOUT-Challenge 3

CHALLENGE 3 SUPERSETS ON CHEST DAY

Guess what: It's Monday, so it must be chest day! Rather than take a number at the bench-press station, let's change things up a bit by supersetting two chest exercises: a multijoint followed by a single-joint move. And we'll even flip the last one so you'll do the single-joint first. That's four pairs of exercises in all, or eight total movements.
A superset means doing two movements back-to-back with no rest in between; you rest only after you complete both, which counts as one superset. Starting with a multijoint press allows you to recruit additional muscle groups so you can lift heavier at the top of each superset. Then, a single-joint move helps you target and really fatigue your chest.

INCLINE BARBELL BENCH PRESS

Doing supersets allows you to complete more work in less time, which is ideal if you're on a crunch. But it also does something completely different: it alternates press-and-fly movements in your routine. Normally, you probably save your fly movements until last, but not here. You'll generate a more intense pump with this kind of training, but expect your strength to trail off toward your third superset.
Just make sure to grab all the equipment you need for each superset before you get started, which in some cases might mean grabbing two sets of dumbbells rather than just one.

How Air Pollution Is Damaging Your Health

Image
Exposure to air pollution is associated with numerous effects on human health, including pulmonary, cardiac, vascular, and neurological impairments.

High-risk groups such as the elderly, infants, pregnant women, and sufferers from chronic heart and lung diseases are more susceptible to air pollution.
