Abs, Back, Biceps, Calves, Cardio, chest, Exercise Bands, Hamstrings, Lower Body, Quads, triceps, Upper-Body

OK, folks. Here is the lockdown workout for the week.

Monday – Wednesday – Friday – Upper Body workout (exercise bands).

Tuesday – Thursday – Saturday – Lower Body workout (exercise bands).

If weather permits, I’ll get some walking in for cardio. If not, I’ll be using the family supine bicycle.

If you are having a hard time with transition to the home for your workouts, check out YouTube. There are hundreds of them. You can also check out Bodybuilding.com for more ideas. Kagedmuscle.com is also a great site for home workouts, but I’ll warn you, this site is for senior/experienced lifters. The workouts are brutal. I have warned you. HaHa!!

See you at the finish line!

I’m finally back! Today I started a new workout routine. It is intense and I love it!

Here you go, folks!

Planet Fitness, Ft. Gratiot

Superset: Leg Press and Calf Press combined with a pyramid

• Leg Press 1x50, 1×40, 1×30, 1×20, 1×10, 1×10, 1×20, 1×30, 1×40, 1×50
• Calf Press 1x50, 1×40, 1×30, 1×20, 1×10, 1×10, 1×20, 1×30, 1×40, 1×50

If you’re new to lifting, a superset requires one set, followed immediately by another. In this case, you do one set of leg presses, followed by a set of calf presses on the leg press machine with no rest between. Once you’ve completed an iteration, you take a break. That’s it in a nutshell. The pyramids involve starting light with a set of 50, going heavier at 40, going heavier at 30, 20, 10 and so on. Then, to complete the pyramid, you start at 10 reps and increase 10 reps each superset back up to 50. So light down to heavy, heavy up to light. I enjoy pyramids because they insure you work the muscle group hard.

 

Decline crunches 5 sets to failure.

That was it for today, folks.

See you at the finish line!

Workout Routine – Leg Day!

Tags

Calves, Hamstrings, Leg day, Quadriceps

Well, folks, another leg day has come and gone. Today’s workout involved full pyramids. Here is the exercise routine:

• Leg Press Machine
• Leg Extension Machine
• Seated Leg Curl Machine
• Calf Press Machine

Each set was for 8 reps and rest between sets was minimal. The time between sets involved moving the pin and grinding through another set. I worked up the weight until I could not do 8 reps with good form and then dropped plate by plate until I reached the beginning set. On the last set I worked to failure (as many reps as possible).

See you tomorrow!
