I thought that I would start sharing some more of the workouts that I'm doing.
You never know, someone might take an interest :-) Plus I think sharing my workouts with people will give me more accountability as I've found myself slipping lately with my workouts.
To be honest I'm not sure why. I mean, I love working out, in fact I love all things fitness and nutrition related - even the bad stuff so I know what not to do with people I train! The best guess I can come up with is that I had been doing full body workouts for quite a long time and probably grew tired of them so I have switched back to trying split training.
I know, I know, not everyone agrees with them. Like I said, I have been doing full body for a long time; gotten good results; fancied a change. Nuff said.
I also know that when people look over this, there will be questions such as "what about all the corrective / functional / weird shit exercises?", well on my off days I will be working more on mobility and stretching - I may or may not post them. Plus my warm ups cover a lot of ground as well.
Anyway, enough waffling :-) This was tonight's workout:
Chest and Back (Bit of a shock it wasn't on a Monday night!!)
1a) Decline press ups - 2 x 10 reps, no rest then
1b) Single arm bent over rows - 2 x 5 reps, 30 secs rest
2a) unilateral DB bench press w/push - 2 x 5 reps, no rest then
2b) renegade rows - 2 x 6 - 8 reps (depending on how my hands and wrists felt), 30 sec rest
3a) Bench side bends - 3 x 8, no rest
3b) Planks with punches 3 x 6 reps, 1 min rest
4) Neck work using towel for resistance
I know the volume seems low, but that doesn't mean I wasn't pushing myself as hard as I could on each rep. Plus, I feel that if I'm tired from full body workouts I don't really want to jump into a high volume program.
Feel free to drop me a comment or suggestion about my workouts - I'm always open to suggestions for improvements.
