Charles’ New Contest Prep BodyBlog

This split is the second split that I’m doing along with the previous workout for about 3 weeks to get my core back!  I’ve got some serious abs going on too and I’m very happy with the progress I’ve made.  I’ve stopped worrying about my weight and just sticking to working out every week.

Chest Press - 60lbs x 61 = 3660

Back Extensions -  135lbs x 51 = 6885

So this is how it works:  I start off slow for the first couple of weeks while I try to get the hang of this program.  I do 2 moves with weight that I can do 10 reps with and I see how much I can do in 7 1/2 minutes.  I multiply the reps times the weight to get a figure that I use to base my next workout on.  The more weight I move, the higher the number becomes next time.

Hack Squat - 31 reps x 70 lbs = 2170  It felt a little hard about the 4th set.  I could barely walk out of the gym.  LOL

Lat Pulldown - 52 reps x 60lbs = 3120.  5 reps x 70lbs = 350  Total =  3470.  It felt easy at 60.  I’ll try for 70 next time.
