Chest & Back 2 - Need to catch up on rest this week

Today the focus is on my chest and back and this is version 2 of the workout. 4 versions in total meaning that I do each workout once a month although I focus on chest once a week. 

To improve cardio in time for September's Super Spartan I incorporate 10 core reps (sit ups, v-ups, elevated feet russian twists, etc.) in between each set and 10 burpees at the end of each circuit.

Warm Up:
  • 50 Jumping Jacks
  • 40 Body Weight Squats
  • 30 Crunches
  • 20 Pushups
  • 10 Burpees (http://youtu.be/O7_TBHno0Os)

Chest/Back Routine - 10 reps each set. Do 10 reps in a set and move up in weight for next cycle  - Do 5 circuts.
  • Bench Press (http://youtu.be/6JtP6ju0IMw)
  • Back Row (http://youtu.be/xhpV025WQM8)
  • Dips & Pullups (Dips: http://youtu.be/OKQd40AGP5w Pullups: http://youtu.be/HPy7nNUYUL0)
  • Lateral Pull Downs (http://youtu.be/1VcmFW5diOU)
