Monday- the guys

Tonight we continued doing eccentric less stuff, so here is what we did.

Circuit-
Single Arm Db shoulder press- 3 reps
Incline Db bench- 3 reps
Bench Press- 3 reps

Each exercise is done one after another with no rest between. The first 2-3 sets are warm ups then do 5-6 sets using the most weight that you can move quickly. Moving the weights fast is the priority if the speed goes down you're going too heavy, lower the weight.

Laterals- 3x10
Tower shoulder external rotation- 3x10
Banded close grip ball push ups- 45 reps, do as many as you can each set until you do all 45 reps.

Abs- ab wheel- 15, body curls- 25, Denise Austins- 30

Monday for the guys

Back at it. I wanted to change things up after the contest so I decided to do 4 weeks of Eccentric less training.

Shoulder Press- Do a couple of warm up sets x 5 reps, then use 75-80% of shoulder press max and do 5x3. These reps have to be as fast and explosive as possible. 90 seconds rest between sets.

Cable Bar Bench- two warm ups x5 then use the heaviest weight that still allows good bar speed. (You can use a regular bench press and use 70-75%% of your one rep max and do 6x3) We did 6x3.

Laterals- 3x10
Tower rear delts- 3x15
Superset TRIs- tower push downs- 3x15, overhead banded extensions- 3x15
Abs- weighted straight leg sit ups- 2x20 I used 100 lbs. for these. I did 30  reps on the last set.
