So I started my workout today with a simple circuit.
To me lately the key to all of my workouts are doing compound exercises, this way I am leveraging different muscles on each set and getting all of my minor muscles groups done. I hate remembering weight amounts but I will give as much detail as I can. Please note that I did this warmup set back to back to back in about 5-10 minutes or so.
Bench press machine - 12 reps I pushed these out ok and this was mostly warming up the shoulders triceps and chest Military press – machine – 12 reps I find that I have a bit of soreness in my left shoulder but this exercise is a good warmup for triceps and shoulders
Wide Grip Pulldowns - 10 reps I do wide grip pulldowns to get a good stretch and warmup my lats and biceps
Close Grip Rows - 10 reps Here I am working my lats differently and also stretching out my lower back. I get the weight up higher for this than a traditional warmup because I love the lat burn.
Tricep Pushdowns with rope - 12 reps This is just an addon to a regular pushdown where the rope allows you to get a better peak contraction. I had a higher weight on this as well. Alternating
Bicep Curls dumbell - 10 reps per arm I was just getting a good contraction for my biceps as the back exercises warm up the biceps but they could still use some work.
Seated Hamstring Curls machine 12 reps I skipped squats today to isolate a bit (maybe I was lazy?) this exercise really hits the hamstrings good and was a good warmup
Leg Press machine - 12 reps I always love leg press as I can really feel the burn in the quads and the flex in my knees From
