2nd Upper Body of the week

Did my second upper body this week with the last being Sunday. I got it in since life’s schedule will not allow me to work out on Saturday and Sunday I will not be able to do my hill/trail run so I am going to a Spartan group workout class at a local gym. Good to make sure that I get the upper body weight lifting in so that I can be flexible with what I do tomorrow. I am thinking football field conditioning.

For those of you who follow my blog postings you may ask why I am doing a Spartan training class since I have posted opposition to packaged workout programs. I am doing it since #1 they have a rope for me to practice on, and #2 it will be good and fun to throw something different into the mix. I expect it to be a good overall total body strength and conditioning workout.

Warm Up:

Chest/Back Routine - 5 sets increasing in weight and decreasing in reps 20/15/10/5/3. To compensate for lighter weights keep a good pace.


Notes / Results:

  • Time: 70 minutes - 5 minutes less than last time but would like to get this back to 60
  • Weight: 193. Need to tighten up my diet. I can get back to 190 with just a little discipline. A post on my Bro-Diet is in the works.
