May 31, 2009

Switched things in my workout around pretty significantly today. I guess maybe not that significant but am going to start trying out a new routine. Haven't got all the planning done at this stage but wanted to see how it will work today. The continuous superset for 5 minutes during this workout humbled me. I seem to have built up a significant amount of strength on low reps but I have horrible muscle endurance. The middle part of the workout should change that.

3 minutes rowing
5 minutes foam roller
8 minute joint mobility

Warm up set Deep Squats 8 reps @ 135#

5 minute Dynamic warm-up

1: Deep Squats

5 minutes continuous superset
2A: Chin-ups
10, 6, 4 @ bodyweight, 6, 4, 3 @ Assist 40#

2B: DB Press
12, 9, 7, 6, 5, 4 @ 30# DB

180s rest

5 minutes continuous superset
3A: Bench Press
10, 8, 6, 5, 4 @ 135#

3B: Deadlift
10, 9, 8, 7, 6 @ 175# (grip was giving out before the rest from doing pull-ups, mental note not to do that combo again)

4: Decline bench crunches with Medicine Ball push
2 sets * 15 reps w/ 14# MB

5 minute rotator cuff & transverse abdominus rehab exercises
8 minute stretching and foam roller
