I think I’m a fan of this every-other-day split. At least now that I remember to train on the weekend. LOL! It gives me a day in between for interval cardio when I’m in the mood, and it means that I get more time to work on the “off” days even when I do cardio. Plus, workouts are still under an hour (usually close to 45 minutes) and focus is high thanks to the bonus recovery day in between…
Back: Chins (2×12,10); Pullovers (1×10); Behind-the-neck chins (2×10,8); One-arm DB rows (1×14); Bent-over bent-arm laterals (2×10,9); Forward-lean shrugs (1×18)
Delts: DB upright rows (2×14,12); Incline one-arm laterals (1×10); Lateral raises (2×10,9)
Biceps: DB curls (2×10,9); Incline DB curls (1×10); Concentration curls (2×10,9)
Abs: Leg raises (1×18); Full-range crunches (2×15); Planks (1×60 seconds)
Note: My current PowerBlock gym split is based on the Phase 2 workout in the 20 Pounds of Muscle in 10 Weeks e-book.
Summary: Great one today! Everything just felt “in tune,” so the feel was great on everything. As mentioned above, I’m really enjoying this split, so even after Phase 2 comes to an end in 3 weeks, I’ll probably stick with the same split, but I’ll be incorporating some tension-time-extending techniques. Before that, however, I have a feeling some X-centric sets might be in my future, as the idea of burning of some winter-based adipose tissue sounds somewhat appealing.
