Catching up...

Sorry I know I haven't posted a lot of workouts lately. I haven't been on my A game with them, I will admit. It's been a little crazy trying to get things going over here. Here is what it is going. I know a few of these will be way to hard for most which is fine if you switch it with something else.

Day 1: Chest/Tricep
Chest: Dumbbell Chest Press
Tricep: Close Grip Tricep-Press
Chest: Dumbbell Chest Flies
Tricep: Dips

Day 2: Back/Bicep

Back: Cable Row

Day 3: Abs/Shoulders/Legs
Shoulders: Shoulder Press
Leg: Leg Press
Shoulder: Lateral Raise
Leg: Hack Squat
Abs: Double Crunch
Abs: Forearm Bridge
Abs: Hanging Leg Raises

Week 2: Sets 3, Reps 12, Speed 2/2
Day 1: Higher intense Circuit Trainings

Day 2: Higher Intense Circuit Training

With Cardio I have been just starting out slow doing about 20-30 min 3 times a week. I am starting to get ready for the Wasatch Back again, that's why the high intense weight training came into play.

Jake

This isn't one of the workouts I've done, this was one of my clients workout that I ran him through. It was pretty tough! He is doing more athletic training and his exercises are for more advance lifters, but you can still use some of the exercises in your own workout. If you do this workout make sure you have good form. I just thought it was a great workout and its a pretty quick one to do.

Warm-up: Barbells have no weight and light weighted dumbbells
Cleans 10 reps
Cleans+Jerks 10 reps
Cleans+Press 10 reps
Dumbbell swings 15 reps
Sumo Squat 15 Reps
Prison Squats 20 Reps (Fast Pace)

Workout:
Cleans 2 Sets 10 Reps
Cleans+Press 1 Set 10 Reps
Dumbbell Swings 3 Sets 15 Reps
Dumbbell Sumo Squats 3 Sets 10 Reps
Prison Squats 3 Sets 15 Reps

The workout seems short, but do it right and you will be a sweaty mess! Enjoy!
