why it works
3 key reasons
Constant tension at medium-high reps: you define without bulking, with just enough weight to fire the fiber.
Mastering your own bodyweight builds relative strength and control machines can't give you.
4 days doubles frequency per muscle group: more weekly stimulus without compromising rest.
