VEDRAL FULL UPPER BACK CIRCUIT

This is a GOOD workout!

I have a book called the "Fat Burning Workout" by Dr. Joyce L. Vedral and her concept is doing "monster sets" which entails 4 or 5 different moves for one muscle group and you go through a whole segment without rest. Here is how it was done:

Do each set with no rest in between. After each set, 30 second rest

BICEPS:
Set 1: 12 repetitions holding 8 lb weights
1)Standing alternating dumbbell curls
2)Standing angled simultaneous dumbbell curls
3)Standing alternate hammer curl
4)Concentration curl
Set 2: 10 repetitions holding 10 lb weights
Same 4 moves
Set 3: 8 repetitions holding 12 lb weights

SHOULDERS:
Set 1: 12 reps holding 3 lbs
1)Standing side raises
2)Standing front raises
3)Standing back raises (pee-wee lateral)
4)Bent over side raises
5)Standing alternate dumbbell press
Set 2: 10 reps holding 5 lbs
Set 3: 8 reps holding 8 lbs

CHEST:
Set 1: 12 reps holding 10 lbs
1)Incline press
2)Incline fly with a twist at top
3)Cross-bench pullover holding one weight
4)Flat fly
5)Flat press
Set 2: 10 reps holding 12 lbs
Set 3: 8 reps holding 15 lbs

TRICEPS:
Set 1: 12 reps holding 3 lbs
1)Standing one-arm overhead extension
2)Bent-over one-arm triceps kickback
3)Lying flat cross-face extension
4)Lying incline cross-face extension
Set 2: 10 reps holding 5 lbs
Set 3: 8 reps holding 8 lbs

BACK:
Set 1: 12 reps holding 10 lbs
1)Bent-over reverse dumbbell row
2)Slightly bent-over dumbbell shrug
3)Upright row
4)Seated back lateral
5)bent-over back lateral


This whole workout took about an hour. I did walk on the treddy before and after to warm up and cool down.

BODYROCK WEIGHT TRAINING I

Anyhoo, Here is my workout for today which totaled 66 rear lunges lunges (with 12 pound weights standing on a stepper), 66 push-ups up (knees), 66 planks, and 66 mountain climbers and 81 biceps (i did a set of 15 afterwards for good measure). (Explanations of moves explained below)

5 minute warm-up (3.0 mph on treadmill and light stretching)

REPEAT FOR 15 MINUTES:
6 rear lunges
6 biceps
6 knee pushups
6 planks with mountain-climbers
**Do as many as you can**

I did one set (15 reps) of biceps with 12 pound weights

5 minute warm down (3.0 mph on treddy)

Watch the video of the workout HERE!

***My biceps are sore!!! And....I CANNOT BELIEVE i did that many pushups in 15 minutes! Doing 6 at a time then jumping to the next, then back to the original segment is perfectly short and long enough to keep those muscles challenged yet give them a tiny break....This is so unlike the hour-long weight lifting sessions i would only focus on one move at a time. I didn't incorporate 2 or 3 exercise moves into one -- why didn't I do this earlier? I feel such a huge difference in my soreness than when i just did basic weightlifting***

Mountain climbers: when i do my knee pushup, i stay in that position and then go into plank position (extend legs straight out). A mountain climber is when you bend one knee to your chest, bring it back out to pplank...then bend the other leg knee to your chest, then back to plank.
