Today I did
Chest Shredder again and it was as hard today as it was the last time I did it. OMG, love this workout! Did really well with it and did quite a bit of the pushups on my toes. The last five reps on some I went down to my knees. 135 pushups total plus 30 if you include the T-Bar pushups. I usually hate pushups but I love this workout.
This is the workout:
SETS 1, 2 & 3
Wide range Pushups: 15 reps
Shoulder Width Pushups: 15 reps
Triceps Pushups: 15 reps
T-Bar Pushups: 5 reps each side - 5# each side
(this exercise is done in Body Beast in one of the shoulder workouts, pushup and then raise your arm up while holding a weight, switch sides)
Chest Flye: 15 reps - 20's (did inclines with the 3rd set)
Chest Press: 15 reps - 25's (did inclines with the 3rd set)
Situps: 25 reps (here I did crunches for 1st set, then I did reverse crunches for the 2nd and 3rd set was bicycle - did 30-35 reps)
You do all this straight through with hardly any rest. The situps are an "active recovery". Rest a few seconds and then start over. Did this three times through.
SETS 4, 5, 6, 7 & 8
Elbow Planks: 5 sets/30 second hold (these were easy, my abs are getting strong again)
Chest was on fire!!!
Workout was 41 minutes, Avg. HR 76, Max was 147, burned 86 calories. I can't believe that calorie burn as I was sweating and my HR was up through most of it.
I also walked on my TM for 2 miles. I'm on summer hours now so I have extra time in the morning to workout. Yay!!!
I'm looking forward to doing the Back Breaker workout as it has tons of pullups. I'm going to use my new assist bands!!!
Have great workouts everyone!!!
