Today I did part 2 of the new full body workout I’ve been doing. My legs are feeling like Jell-o right now so I know it was a good workout! What I noticed is that last week I did 8 reps of all but one exercise and today I did 10 reps of every single exercise like it was no big deal. That means I might be able to raise the weight just a bit on some of the exercises next week when I do this workout again.
Here’s the workout details:
Quads – Squats: 10# dumbbells, 4 sets x 10 reps
Hamstrings/Glutes – Deadlifts: 35#, 4 sets x 10 reps
Chest – Incline Bench Press: 35# barbell, 4 sets x 10 reps
Shoulders – Overhead Press: 10#, 4 sets x 10 reps
Biceps – EZ-bar Curl: 30#, 4 sets x 10 reps
Triceps – Close-Grip Bench Press: 35#, 4 sets x 10 reps
Calves – Standing Calf Raise: 4 sets x 15 reps (last week I just stood on the floor, this week I used a 1.5″ board and it made a huge difference in the amount of resistance!)
Abs – Hanging Knee Raise: 4 sets x 15 reps
*Abs & Lower Back – Superman: 1 set x 7 reps (I just added this myself. Partly because I wanted to lay on the floor and rest after the rest of the workout and partly because I need to work more on my lower back.)
This is my 2nd week of this full body workout and I think I will be doing it for a total of 6 weeks before I switch it up again. Like I stated earlier today, I’m almost certain that it’ll be the 30 Day Shred. I plan on doing levels 1-3 for a workout. Or at the very least, levels 2 and 3. We’ll see what happens at that time!
