2024 IFBB Legion Pro winner, and 2025 Mr. Olympia finalist Brett Wilkin<\/a> is the kind of bodybuilder who leaves it all in the gym. And, in a recent Instagram post, the big man shared the upper and lower body finishers that test his mettle as he looks to pack on even more muscle.<\/p>\n Of course, the aim of any competitive bodybuilder is force their muscle fibers to grow<\/a> back bigger after being put into a state of hypertrophy from an exhaustive workout, and Wilkin thinks he has found two winning finishers for leveling up his upper and lower body\u2014alternating between supersets and dropsets to approach failure.<\/p>\n Here\u2019s how to try both sequences for yourself.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n \u201cSome standing cable flys to failure and straight to the landmine presses,\u201d explained Wilkin to his more than 170,000 Instagram followers. \u201cStretching it out big to start, then pumping out the inner and upper chest for complete balance. Keeping it simple and effective.\u201d<\/p>\n In the spirit of the superset, Wilkin, who is known to fans as \u201cThe Butcher,\u201d takes no rest between the cable fly and landmine press, going big before he goes home. This is a wise combination because the fly hits the shoulders, upper and lower pecs, and even the biceps to some degree, while the landmine two handed chest press<\/a> has similar coverage but draws upon the triceps more than the biceps.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n When it comes to leveraging his lower body, Wilkin opts for drop sets. \u201cFun fact: Dropsets pair as character builders\u2026 and some of y\u2019all out there are lacking character\u201d taunted the man mountain in another recent post.<\/p>\n Setting himself up on the hack squat, Wilkin notes that he rarely observes other gym goers practicing drop sets but explains that they are a go-to for finishing his leg day.<\/p>\n To round out his lower body sessions, the competitive bodybuilder sits low into the hack squat in order to stretch and build his hamstrings and quads. He takes just enough rest time for some plates to be removed before he pounds his pins once again. And, as he works towards failure, Wilkin breathes deeply as he powers through the final moments, readying his legs for even more mass in the future.<\/p>\n \u201cNot just a drop, but tempo work too,\u201d spotted one eagle eyed follower. \u201cCrazy,\u201d wrote another impressed fan. \u201cBig man doing big things!\u201d added yet another.<\/p>\n Ready to build your character in the gym?
