Thursday

5 10 16 20 25

Core, Legs, Abs, Chest, Back.
The conditioning would be twenty sets with only transition time in between.

I aimed to make a workout that varied from what we've done and allowed for increasing reps so I was worn out at the end of each circuit.

So: heavier deadlift, any sane human hates lunges, new ab stuff (explained below), higher angle for pushups, and I was trying to simulate actual rowing/row machine, so I used a light weight, a rope grip, and high reps.

I am sore in places that I have not been sore recently - Mission Accomplished.

Deadlift x 5 @ 185# (2/3 Bodyweight)
Lunges x 10 (5 each leg)
Side-to-Side Leg Raise x 16
Feet-up Pushups x 20 (feet on large swiss ball)
Cable Row x 25 @ 50#

Deadlift x 5 @ 185#
Lunges x 10
Side-to-Side Leg Raise x 16
Feet-up Pushups x 20
Cable Row x 25 @ 50#

Deadlift x 5 @ 185#
Lunges x 10 (5 each leg)
Russian (Basket) Twist x 16 @ 10#
Feet-up Pushups x 20
Cable Row x 25 @ 50#

Deadlift x 5 @ 185#
Lunges x 10 (5 each leg)
Russian (Basket) Twist x 16 @ 10#
Feet-up Pushups x 20
Cable Row x 25 @ 50#

The two ab exercises:
- side-to-side leg raise (lie down, spread arms, raise legs vertical, tilt legs left almost to floor, hold for 5 secs., raise back to vertical, tilt legs right... and so on)
- Russian twist (seated, knees bent, hold medicine ball in both hands, twist left, and touch ball to floor. Twist right, touch ball to floor... and so on).

This was a good one. I'm definitely feeling it over the weekend.
