Hey all, hope everyone had a good thanksgiving! This blog is for anyone wanting to take off a few of those extra pounds gained over the break. I will be sharing my workout schedule with you and I invite you all to try it, whether it be all of it or some.
For today, after the big meal yesterday, I started my day out with a 2 mile run and then stretched out everything before hitting the weight room. For lifting today I began with some olympic lifts including the power snatch and high pull with 3sets of 5 for each at 75-80%. I then moved into the front squat and the bench press at 3x8 for each at 80%. I finished off the workout by doing an ab routine called 500 abs where you pick 10 different exercises and do 50reps of each. please enjoy shedding that holiday weight and join me again tomorrow!
I liked the way you explained each of the exercises that you did and how many reps and sets you did for each. Not a lot of people when writing work out programs are as specific as i would like them to be. The whole "500" abs work out is something new that i have never heard of before. Maybe in the future i will incorporate it into my work out routine.
ReplyDeleteI liked how you were specific with the workout schedule, you laid out each rep/set and percentage for each lift. That is always something that is appreciated by anyone who would like to follow along. That is a pretty intense day for anybody I would imagine. The 500 abs is also an interesting and new way of doing an ab routine. It forces people to look up different exercises.
ReplyDeleteI like this post Mike. You did a nice job of explaining all of your various workouts. Definitely a solid workout. This has to be a fairly exhausting workout program. Great way of shedding some weight during the holidays.
ReplyDeleteI really like this post because it narrows everything down. It definitely makes it easier to follow along. I'm always looking for a good workout program. I really like yours. It was very specific.
ReplyDeleteI became absolutely massive over thanksgiving break. You know what they say peter didn't sculpt the statue of David from pebbles. You need a massive slab of marble to work from and thats what i did. The gains and shred have commenced.
