//Here we go, the hustle and bustle of the holidays. Bad foods, skipped workouts. I'm going to coast through the rest of the year as best as I can. When January 1st hits, I'm tightening down on my foods and I'm going to lean out if it kills me before summer.
As for the next two months, I'm going to be doing a rotation I made up a long time ago. The first week is doing straight sets, the second is supersets. I like this workout because you get in and get out. On superset week I might even do a half hour of cardio because I know the supersets will cut my workout time in half. So we'll see.
I started this morning with Back and Chest. Had a really good workout. It went fast.
1 minute rest between each set.
BACK
Barbell Rows - 55#/12 reps - 2 sets (warmup)
Barbell Rows - 70#/8 reps - 3 sets
One Arm Rows - 30#/10 reps - 3 sets
Pullovers - 25#/12 reps - 3 sets
CHEST
Pushups - 12 reps/3 sets
***Good warmup, haven't done pushups since STS.
Barbell Bench Press - 85#/8 reps - 4 sets
Incline Dumbbell Press - 30's/10 reps - 3 sets
Flat Bench Dumbbell Flyes - 20's/12 reps - 3 sets
Felt good to have iron back in my hands!
Let the holidays begin....
Melissa - I really like either 1 or 2 muscle groups max too. I feel like I can focus more on those muscles and it's soooo much shorter of a work out too.
Me too, Heather. You're in and out and were really able to focus. Sometimes it's so overwhelming to look at the DVD and realize it's 60+ minutes long. I try to schedule the longer ones for Saturday & Sunday when I feel like I have more time, but during the week can sometimes be a killer...
Now I'm trying to decide if I should just suck it up and finish M3 as is, or try to chop up my workout cards by body part and do one per day. That way I could do a little shorty cardio workout beforehand. Decisions...decisions.
Debbie - I'm hearing that on the more cardio. I'm really tempted to chop up M3 to accomodate that. Especially this time of year!!!
Roxie - Hope you feel better.
Heather - Nice job on the 10 mile run!! Wow, that sure is a lot of running. I couldn't do it.
Belinda - Nice job on your workout. I am getting the workout sheets done. I only have week one done so far. But sure, I'll send them to you. And yes, it's an 8 week rotation.
Melissa - Great job on the Squat Rack Legs. Love those workouts. I'm also trying to work a rotation where I can possibly sneak in a bit more cardio. I know I'll need it with the holidays coming.
Debbie - it wasn't very long ago at all that I was certain I'd never run more than say 7 miles tops.
Melissa - I would be really interested to see how that worked - breaking up STS. I have thought about it, but didn't know if it'd work or not. I really want to do STS again, but the thought of 3 days of hour long weight workouts is kind of depressing to me.
