Monday, 10/6/08 workout

Monday's Tubulence Training workout was from the Big 5 program; Workout A. ..and in one word...it was awesome!

I am thoroughly enjoying this Big 5 program; it is a full body workout...perfomed 3 times per week. It takes less than an hour and, if done correctly, melts fat like a furnace!

Here's are the exercises included in this workout:

• DB Squat
• Decline Pushup
• Pullup
• DB Reverse Lunge
• Stability Ball Jacknife
  

Notes and Observations

Same number of reps for all movements: 12+10+8+8 (4 circuits)

DB squats were performed with a pair of 50# Dbs...held up front on the collar bone where a bar would be for front squats. It was a good weight. Explode...almost literally jump...up and out.

Decline pushups were solid.

The Pullups were awesome...and quite frankly... allot more than I thought I could do. Fully extended...no swinging.

Used a pair of 30# DBs to execute DB Reverse lunges. I could have gone slightly heavier...maybe 35's...but I wanted to keep them fast.

The stability ball jacknife with the pause was great as well. By that 4th set...that pause (in the extended position) feels like an eternity.

Total worktime: 20:49.

Intervals: 6 rounds of 45 x 90 secs at a 9/3 intensity.

Overall: I'm loving this program and expect big changes by the end of this month.
