Man Does Renegade Row During Muscle-Building Workout

Sure, any guy can drop weight or stack on size, but not everyone knows how to sharpen up muscle definition. Well, consider this workout your lesson in defining specific muscle groups—in this case, your abs, biceps, and quads. 

You’ll hit your core and arms with an opening set of squat-to-curl-to-press. Next up is a biceps and core combo with a round of renegades pushups. A finishing set of leg raises with a hip thrust will work to build ab definition throughout your entire midsection. 

Directions

You’ll do this workout as a circuit, meaning you’ll complete each exercise consecutively without rest. Once you’ve finished all exercises, rest for 30 seconds. Repeat the entire circuit for 5 to 10 rounds.

Depending upon your ability, you may shorten or lengthen the rest period. You may also complete more or fewer rounds.
