My workouts are always intense and a little eclectic. I never know what I’m doing until I get there. Usually if it sounds like it might hurt in my head then I’ll do it.
The workout below was this week’s chest and tris. As you’ll see, I love the bosu ball for core as well as mixing up high reps with heavier basics – incorporating old school training methods.
As with everything I do, the intensity is high. When you chose your weights it should be enough to just get you through the set, but barely. With the exercises performed for a minute, I will generally use the rest-pause technique to get to completion. Give this workout a try and I guarantee it will test your endurance.
Note* The weights for the chest press are not light when taking into account the high reps performed in the exercises prior.
