1. WARMUP

2. EXERCISE SELECTION: Another purpose of Greene’s warmup trisets is to feel how his various muscles are working together. This helps determine which exercises he’ll select and in what order he’ll perform them. Before he enters the gym, he has a rough idea of how the workout will go. As he warms up, it comes into focus. “I’m not doing the warm ups just to go through the motions. I’m focused on the task ahead of me. I’m taking a mental inventory, to work my back from the top of my traps all the way down my spine to just above my glutes.The feedback I get from my body determines what exercises I do and in what order I choose to do them.” Lately, he’s been selecting more rows (mostly for thickness) than pulldowns and chins (mostly for width). This is because his low-hanging lats fan out like a golf umbrella. He doesn’t need more width, but he wants more upper-back density.

This is a crucial component to every Greene workout. He visualizes how sets will progress as well as how he wants his muscles to grow over time.“Visualization is an essential bodybuilding tool, but also an essentialtool for success for life in general,” he explains. “In order to achieve something great you first have to be able to see yourself achieving that thing.”What Greene is visualizing before and during every back workout is the next time he will be standing on stage with his back to the judges and strikes a rear double biceps followed by a rear lat spread. He’s visualizing the new muscle, new separation between the muscles, new details in the muscles. He’s visualizing winning what are generally regarded as the two most crucial poses inany bodybuilding contest—the rearshots. He’s visualizing a triumph that results in him being the last man standing
