What did YOUR last workout look like?

OK here’s my crazy workout–fasted (was trying my first day of intermitent fasting):
5 min of 30 sec jog/30sec walk
15 min of alternating between rows (10 lbs) and 1 legged deadlifts using the tabata style 20 sec work and 10 sec rest
10 min of 20 KB swings follwed by TGUs (2 easch side)
30 min light walking
waited 45 more min till I broke my fast.

Wow Joel, can’t wait to try it. I only hope this 49 year old body holds up!
I have been doing the Intermediate Spartan workout for the last few weeks. It really helped me get stronger a couple months ago. Had to take a break because of an injury, but back up now. I have adapted it to allow me to do each day in about 30 minutes for time. I put different muscle exercises together and do the sets back to back with no rest. Here was tonight’s workout.
10 min. Bike ride to gym (I always ride as hard as I can wherever I go)
Circut A:
Seated Military Press 120 lbs. 12, 10, 10
Standing Barbell curl 65 lbs. 12, 10, 10
Barbell Upright Row 100 lbs. 12,10,10
Dips 12, 10, 10 (Could only do 8 on last set, but rested and did 5 more)
Circut B:
Seated Dumbell Lat Raises 25 lbs. ea. 12,10,10
Seated Dumbell Curls 25 lbs. ea. 12,10,10
Straight Bar Press down (Cable #14) 12,10,10 (Not sure on weight here?)
10 min. Bike ride home

My only rest periods were walking between exercises and about 2 minutes between circuts. I love Tuesdays because it really pumps my arms. Kevin

WOW, that is an amazing workout. I will try it on Friday and see if I don’t die in the process. Looks awesome. My workouts have been Craig’s Turbulence Training for Fat Loss Frenzy. I love this circuit.

Fasted workout at 7 this morning:

3 x 3 vertical leaps, 30 seconds rest after each, this was the warmup

10 squats at personal best weight (woohoo!) but in a wide, powerlifting style stance

walk to rafters…

10 wide grip pullups (pronated grip)/5 medium grip pullups/4 medium grip chins (supinated grip)/ 3 narrow grip chins all as one super set.

walk outside to squat rack… but get called upstairs for 5 minutes

Come downstairs again, repeat pullup/chinup superset, not as many reps this time, maybe 8/4/3/2

2 minutes break

20 breathing squats on same weight as previously

2 minutes

10 inverted rows with each hand

1 minute

10 inverted rows with each hand, but this time as rest-pause to get the full 10

1 minute

7 sets of 12 to 8 reps of curls with a 10 kg water jug in each hand. Each set followed by count of 10 isometric flex followed by a drink of water (FST-7 style)

I’m trying to get back into basketball shape, so my last workout, which was today, looked like this:

– 30 second sprint- 120second rest
– 30 second sprint- 120second rest
– 30 second sprint- 120second rest
– 30 second sprint- 120second rest
– 30 second sprint- 120second rest
– 30 second sprint- 120second rest
– 30 second sprint- 120second rest
– 30 second sprint- 120second rest
– 30 second sprint- 120second rest
– 30 second sprint- 120second rest

Does this look alright to you?

I’m coming up on a leg routine, but this what my last workout was like. (I am doing a very strict form using a 4:1 tempo so it is brutal)

I am 40, 10% BF and weigh 198lbs at 5’9″.

5 min on Gazelle
Light stretching
Deadlifts: 20x135lbs for warm-up
Wide-Grip Chins: 10, 8
1-Arm DB Rows: 90lbs – 8, 10
BB Shrugs: 225×10, 275×10
Close-Grip Chins (Biceps): 8, 10
1-Arm Preacher Curls: 50×5 each
DB Wrist Curls: 65×10 each

Not much rest between sets, I kept it about 1 minute. My reps were slow and strict at the 4:1 tempo: 4-count on the negative/eccentric and explode on the concentric for a 1-count keeping tension on the muscles the whole time. I can do a lot of heavy weight, but now I am trying out this new tempo and you just can’t lift heavy doing it. Man, I get more sore now then ever! Try it!

Joel, try the 4:1 tempo on your next circuit, you’ll see what I mean after the first two sets!

Wednesdays are always a big work day, and I’m always pressed for time. The Spartan workout is legs and Abs. As before, I divide it up into 2 circuts, and move through each exercise, and back until circut is done. Rest and move on.
Circut 1
Barbell Squat 230 lbs 12,10,10
Good Mornings 140 lbs 12,10,10
Standing Calve Raise 160 lbs 12,10,10 (5 count at top, and 5 count at bottom)
Hanging Knee Raises 20,20,20
Circut 2
Barbell Lunge 140 lbs 12,10,10
Leg Curl 150 lbs 12,10,10
Hanging Knee Raises 20,20,20

I usually feel like I need to puke by the middle if I push myself, and riding my bike back to work (15 min. uphill) makes it my hardest workout of the week.

49 y-o female, single mom, 3 youngish boys. My “post flu” workout:
Rake leaves for 30 minutes, alternating sides. Rake piles of leaves onto tarp. Drag 40-50 pounds UP the hill for 20 yards, pull leaves into the woods and dump them. Walk back down the hill. Repeat for 30 minutes, alternating dragging arm.

I have about 5 more sets to go…

Now that’s what I’m talkin’ about! :P@Kath –

That’s a mean looking workout Joel, I’ll go to town on that baby next week!

Myself I’m a fan of the full body focus, going for high intensity and dynamic movements.

Last workout looked was from John Roman’s body blitz:

A1) – Push Press – 6×6
A2) – Deadlift – 6×4

Alternate between A1/A2 w/o rest. Then on to Mountain climbers.

Mountain Climbers – 2 minutes

B1) Barbell Bent Over Row – 5×5
B2) Barbell Front Squat – 5×5
B3) Push-up Position Plank – 5×45 seconds

Perform sequentially, rest 45 sec’s between exercises, 120 secs between circuits.

C1) – Alternating Reverse Lunges – 2×25
C2)—Explosive Push-Ups – 2 x as many reps as possible

Alternate between them, rest 30 seconds in between.

Finish by jumping rope hard for 5-10 mins.

Made for a broken, beat and scarred Fred!
