Great Upper Body Workout Today!

Felt really good about my workout today so I thought I would share.

1a.) Inverted row (alternated between underhand and overhand)-- 12X3
1b.) Push-ups-- 12X3

2a.) Freemotion, One-Arm-Alternating Lat Pull Down-- 12X3
2b.) Freemotion Chest Press (leaning forward to engage more core)-- 12X3

3a.) Cable Low Row-- 12X3
3b.) "Arnold" Military Press (uses a rotation at top of the movement)-- 12X3

4a.) One-Arm DB Row-- 8X3
4b.) Dips-- 8X3

5a.) Bi-Lateral Bicep Curl-- 10X3
5b.) Tricep Extensions-- 10X3


I just added that all up, and I did 324 total repetitions. My workout (warm-up and cool-down included) was 50 minutes. So for those of you who don't "have time to workout," you are most likely making excuses for yourself. A great workout takes LESS THAN an hour, that's not a whole lot of time to commit to something so important as your health.


On a side note, I saw some of the most heinous squats at the gym today. Come on people! Knees should NEVER go past the toes, weight should be pushed through the heels (not the toes), and hips should be tilted back with butt out. This is something I've already blogged about, but free weight squats have the potential to cause some serious injury, so if you don't know how to do them properly (or have a professional to help you) please use alternative leg exercises (like the split squat, for instance). Alright, descending my soap box now.

Meat out.
