Chest & Back -Oct 5

Chest & Back
Each pair is a superset.
Warm up for 5-15 minutes on bike/treadmill/stepmill/rower, complete pre-hab/movement prep prior to starting.


Wide Grip Overhand Pullups 3 sets x 10 reps {same as above}
T Bar Rows 3 sets of 10 reps {can be performed with no weight -just the 45llb bar}
  • Yes, this is a lot of pullups. Please refer to the video clip for an alternative. This is a great way to increase the number of pullups you can do, don't be discouraged because you can't do all the reps in a row, use the technique of stepping up to the bar and lowering yourself down. (starts at 40 secs)
------------------------------------------------------------------
Bent Over Dumbell(DB) Rows 3 sets of 10 reps
One Arm DB Rows 3 sets of 10 reps
Ball Back Extensions 3 sets of 15 reps
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
One Arm DB Incline Press
*for above, start with both arms at top, bring one arm down and return to start. Alternate sides. Do not perform identical to this video.
Plate Pull overs -you can use a plate for this [45llbs for most]
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Flat DB Flys 3 sets x 15 reps
Flat DB Chest Press 4 sets x 10 reps  ****This is a change.... lifting a higher weight, less reps, but one more set!
=================================================
ABS:


Banana Rock -3 x 30
Wide knee sit ups -3 x 40
(alternate as a superset.... really concentrate on minimizing your rest periods this time!)
