11/3: Full Body Workout + Sprints

Today was another full body workout day and that’s exactly what I did. I was feeling really tired today though, I wasn’t sure I was gonna make it. Then my husband got home from work and mixed up his BSN No Xplode and I had a little bit of it and it got me going. If you need a pre-workout energy supplement, I highly recommend BSN No Xplode ($39.99 @ Bodybuilding). I don’t use (or need) very much at all, so one tub lasts me a long time. My husband swears by the stuff and cycles it off and on. It really does make a big difference – both in terms of increased energy levels and the strength to lift heavier and/or be more explosive.

I can tell it gave me an extra boost because even though I was feeling really tired before I took it, I did my full body workout and I did 16 sets of sprints in between most of my exercise sets. Since I always rest for 1-2 minutes in between sets, I thought I might as well use that time to do some sprints because I hate just standing around waiting for the next set. Plus…I had extra energy!

Here’s the entire workout:

*Every exercise was 4 sets of 15 reps

Quads – Squat: 10# dumbbells

Hamstrings/Glutes – Deadlifts: 30# barbell (2 – 30 Second sprints @ 9 mph in between sets)

Chest – Incline Bench Press: 0 (chest was still sore from Sunday’s workout because I added additionl weight to the flyes, 3 – 30 Second sprints @ 9 mph in between sets)

Back – Barbell Row: 20# barbell (3 – 30 Second sprints @ 9 mph in between sets)

Shoulders – Overhead Press: 10# dumbbells (3 – 30 second sprints @ 10 mph in between sets)

Biceps – EZ Bar Curl: 30# (3 – 30 second sprints @ 10 mph in between sets)

Triceps – Close-Grip Bench Press: 35# barbell (will definitely be upping the weight next time, 2 – 30 second sprints @ 10 mph in between sets)

Calves – Standing Calf Raise: 4 sets x 15 reps

Abs – Hanging Knee Raise: 4 sets x 15 reps

I know I’ll be sleeping good tonight!
