March 16, 2010 by Joe Gigantino
Today’s workout is simple. These two exercises for chest and back are some of the best exercises to do together. They will challenge you and work your upper body to fatigue by the end of the workout routine.
Looking to increase size in your chest and build muscle? When you increase your weights, this is the best workout routine to achieve BIG results!
Warm up: jog 800 meters (2 laps around track) 10 minutes of indoor row
Chest and Back Workout Routine:
- Chest: Bench press & Back: Pull ups; Advanced add weighted belt, Beginners = do Lat pull downs instead
- 15, 10, 5, 3, 1 = these are the reps you will do for each exercise. Every new set go heavier on the weight (your max). If you fail to get the correct number you need to redo the set.
- Don’t give up! post your weights and time!
