THIS PAST WEEK I’VE BEEN DOING INTENSE SUPERSETS AND NOW I’M BEGINNING TO FEEL A LITTLE STALE WITH LITTLE OR NO ENERGY…SO IT’S DRAWING TIME TOMORROW MAYBE I’LL EVEN DO SOME OIL OR ACRYLIC PAINTING. I ONLY WORK 4 DAYS A WEEK TEACHING MATH(TUES-FRI) SO I’M LOOKING FORWARD TO THE REST. ANYWAY I’LL POST THE WORK(DRAWINGS/PAINTINGS) SOME TIME TOMORROW. TODAY I DID MY FINAL SUPERSET WHICH WAS PROBABLY A MISTAKE BUT AT THE TIME I FELT LIKE SUPERMAN AKA OLD SUPERMAN. I STARTED WITH 30 PUSH-UPS THEN 25 DECLINE SIT-UPS WITH 50LB DB  THEN LEG LIFT WITH GRIPS IN A DOUBLE CRUNCH POSITION THIS IS ONE SET REST 1 OR 2 MINS DO 3 SETS…THEN SEATED MIL PRESS (12) THEN DECLINE BENCH(10) THEN CURLS(10) THIS IS ONE SET AGAIN REST 1 OR 2 MINS DO 3 SETS…SQUATS(7),INCLINE FLY(10) THEN PREACHER CURLS(10) …THIS IS ONE SET DO 3 FINALLY STANDING MIL PRESS (10) THEN PLANK/SIDE PLANKS(HOLD EACH ONE 70 SECS WITH GRIPS) WITH GRIPS AND FINALLY DIPS(15) THIS IS 1 SET DO 3…AGAIN THIS IS A REAL INTENSE W.O….I USE A LITTLE LIGHTER WEIGHT THAN NORMAL

I JUST STARTED WORKING AGAIN(TEACHING MATHEMATICS) AND I  FINISHED MY SUPERSET ROUNTINE….HELL IT WAS MUCH HARDER TO DO NOW THAT I’M WORKING…LET’S FACE IT NOT HAVING A JOB AND BEING ABLE TO LIFT ANY TIME  I WANTED TO HELPED !! I DIDN’T KNOW HOW GOOD I HAD IT…WELL HERE’S THE ROUNTINE START WITH PLANK/GRIP(see earlier post)  then decline sit ups with 50lb db then dips…this is one set ..i do 3 then decline push-ups, leg lifts with grips(earlier post) go tobench press…this is one set ..do 3 then mil press go to decline bench  then dead lifts this is one set do 3… squats then curls and finish  incline bench this is one set do 3….this is a mother of a w.o.

   I USE LESS WEIGHT WHEN I DO SUPER SETS…ALSO THEIR IS NO REST BETWEEN THE 3 EXER. ONLY REST IS BETWEEN SETS FROM 1 TO 2 MINS…THIS IS AN INTENSE W.O. BUT ALSO A SHORT(TIME) W.O.
