Thursday workout

[Guest guest]

Hi,

Well, I've decided to go with something totally different this month. I don't have all the details, but have wanted to do something with Amy Bento's weight workouts. It's always fun to kind of create sorta my own routine.

I came up with the idea of combining her All Pump Xtreme and Slo-Mo. I gave it a try this morning doing chest and back using both workouts. I didn't use all the exercises because of time and I wanted to pick the ones I liked the most.Here's how it went.

Slo-Mo- CHEST

around the world - 10 lb.- 3 sets

incline fly w/ internal rotation- 20 LB- 3 sets

All Pump Xtreme- Chest

bar bell bench press- 30 LB- 3 sets

Push ups (fall down on step) lowering risers after 15 reps each. (4 sets total) I think??

All Pump Xtreme- Back

bar bell rows (singles) 50 LB- 2 sets

Rear delt fly on an incline - 7 LB - 3 sets

Slo- Mo- Back

One arm pullovers on ball- 12 LB- 3 sets

Shrugs- 40 LB- 3 sets

I really thought I'd get an awesome workout combining the two, but I really didn't. The workout was fun (that's what I'm looking for) but I finished the workout feeling like I could've done more. I'm going to do this with biceps, triceps, and shoulders and see how it works. Maybe I need to go up in weight on a few of the exercises. Some of them I really felt, but others I know I could've went heavier.

This was different and even though I don't feel totally worked, it might just be what I need to get out of this rut I'm feeling I'm in right now.

I haven't' got the rest of the month planned, but I think I'll pull out some workouts I haven't done in a while and as far as weights go, if this doesn't work out I'll maybe go and do some good old Slow & Heavy.

Have a great day!
