Workout Of The Week: Boulder Shoulders

This week I am feeling like bringing back my bodybuilding style workouts.  I want to share with you what I do when I take away the burpees, box jumps, and cardio. Typically, I love high intensity circuit training, but doing this sort of bodybuilding helps me build strength. Once I feel super strong, I tend to go back to circuiting my workouts to shed fat.

Here's what I did today:

(90-120 second rest between sets)
1. 5 sets X 5 reps Shoulder press (add each set, so it's HEAVY by the 5th set)
2. 4 sets X 12 reps Front Raise
3. 4 sets X 12 reps Lateral Raise
4. 3 sets X 10 reps Push Press
5. 4 sets X 12 reps Cable High Pull
Shoulder press a)

Shoulder Press B)

Lateral raises A)

  
Lateral Raise B)

  
Front Raise A)

Barbell Press A)

So You Want Free Exercises?

Lately I've been feeling inspired! My clients inspire me, the gym inspires me, new workout gear inspires me, and challenges inspire me. I decided to challenge myself to keeping things fun and creative.

I tried out some AWESOME workouts and wanted to share my AWESOME clients demonstrating them. Don't be afraid to do them, as most of my clients started as beginners! A Allstar athlete could be challenged just as must as a noob!

So push yourself, and try em' out!
