Pre-Exhaustion and Rest-Pause
Fitzwater began with pec deck, an isolation movement. He performed multiple warm-up sets before getting into his working sets. The pec deck helps him prepare mentally by helping him concentrate on activating his chest.
Using Machines for Safety
Before Fitzwater performed incline presses on the Smith machine, he advocated using machines for bodybuilding-style training. Machines are just as suited for building muscle as free weights and can be safe for people training alone.
IFBB Pro League Men’s Open bodybuilder Martin Fitzwater will be one of the athletes stepping on stage at the 2025 Pittsburgh Pro in Pittsburgh, PA, on the weekend of May 10-11, 2025. He seeks his third pro win and the biggest payday in his bodybuilding career, with a top prize of $100,000.
Fitzwater has been sharing updates and workouts on his prep, including a recent chest workout he says his followers can do independently without a training partner.
