Increase Your Reps Tip

exercise tipsWhen you’re lying on your back on the bench and your training partner is snorting and hollering over you, spittle dropping down on your forehead right where that vein is about to burst…

…you always seem to have MORE POWER than you think, don’t you?

But what if you don’t HAVE an adrenaline-jacked training buddy?

Never fear! Here’s…

How To Increase Your Reps On Any Exercise

Stupidly simple yet amazingly POWERFUL, this “quick tip” works every time for generating a bit more power…

…and it’s all PSYCHOLOGICAL!

All you have to do is, instead of counting your reps 1-2-3-etc.

Count BACKWARDS!

(Told you it was stupidly simple)

Here’s Why It Works

Knowing that you’re getting closer and closer to the “end” of your set, your brain will almost MAGICALLY flip the switch on the afterburners and you’ll be able to get more reps than if you’d been counting the “traditional” way.
