Just finished a killer circuit. Please see below. I completed this 3 times with challenging weight... in between each set i had 5 seconds rest.
10 bicep curls with straight bar
12 hammer curls dumb bells
12 bicep curls dumb bells
15 upright rows
8 lateral side raises
20 shoulder presses
8 front raises
30 press ups
30 tricep dips
6 clean and jerks
The first session is ok. The second hurts. The third i am in tears.
I then finished off with weighted squats to failure. Then plank for 1 minute... after 1 minute straight into 20 diamond press ups.. the straight into plank for 1 minute... then straight into 20 diamond press ups... to failure.
Im done in.
And don't forget to breathe.
Never ever ignore good advice from people trying to help. Its all important.5 second rest? That isn't a rest! You doing perfect form sir?!
The bicep curls, no matter which way you do them, are pretty much the same. You could do them at different tempos to shake it up a bit, so some faster up and down, some sloooow down. But as said, not a huge difference. Not sure if you know, but it is the well formed tricep muscle that is the real sleeve filler, so why not swap out one curl round for a tricep exercise, overhead extension or the like? Or add it in at worst.
Engaging all the muscles? Tensing the glutes, core, really thinking about the muscle you are working throughout the beasting? The mind/muscle connection is powerful - also personally think it helps stops injuries because you are concentrating fully on what you are doing.
And of course, feel free to ignore, just enjoy talking about training!
Has anyone tried the digital body fat percentage callipers?
Yeah i like the look of those. Will add them to a routine tomorrow. Thanks for recommending.
Were they hard to do?
