/Friday/i mean Saturday - shoulder strength, arm blast, back + core

Today is a long one. Looking at 1.5-2 hours gym time not including locker room and walk. Don't overdo it on the weight in the circuits. The sets can be low-mid rep, but complete the sets for lots of reps total on the day. This is gonna leave a mark!

RX:

Warm up - concept 2 (get those legs right)

Part 1:
Clean and Press:
  • warm up with some reps @ 80 or 90
  • 140 x F
  • 150 x F
  • cool down with higher rep burnout @ 80 or 90 (til F basically)
---
take a quick rest for muscles if needed; maybe hit elliptical for 2-3 min or treadmill for a 2-3 min jog...
---

Part 2:
Arm + Back circuit (3x):
  • DB curls
  • Behind head DB tricep press (2 hand or 1 hand)
  • Barbell row
  • DB shrugs
Arm + Shoulder circuit (3x):
  • Bar curls
  • French press
  • rear delt iso with the cables and/or DBs
  • plate or DB raises (lateral+front)
End with 2 sets of light bent-over DB tricep raises

-----
take a break, lay down, throw up, drink water, whatever.... if energy is there, jog it out for a min or two
-----

Core circuit, weight and #rounds tailored to where the fuel gauge is at.
  • Russian twists (if that lady isn't completely hogging the sit up bench as usual)
  • Sit ups (weighted?)
  • Reverse lunge and twists (w/ plate)
  • Back extensions
