Total Body Workout 2

Go back 2 posts, and look at my total body suggestion.  I am going to give you another variation of that workout.  As I mentioned, if you are a golfer, ball player, thrower, or anyone else heading into your off- season, these are a great way to start.  We'll develop things from here.

Also, if you are a hockey player looking at this, it will work for you in season.  But (please listen), only if you have 3 or 4 days after your workout with no activity involved, to allow for recovery.  The  majority of in- season hockey training that I see being done, makes me want to rip out every piece of hair that I have.

Here is suggestion 2:

The format stays the same as previously outlined, but here are 3 changes to make.

Replace the Overhead Press with the Clean/Press movement.  You can use either a bar or dumbbells, but make sure that the weight is heavy enough that your first set is no more than 12ish reps.

Replace the Deadlift with the Squat.  All the things that I mentioned about the Deadlift, will now apply to the Squat.  You will need to know your 1RM, with extreme accuracy.  Once you do, you will be able to work between 60%-80% of that weight.

Replace the Squat/Squat Hold with the Stiff-Leg Deadlift.  Use the same "fun" format, whereby you are using a light weight (maybe only 40% of 1RM) for 10 reps, theholding at mid-point.  You can even go back to a regular Deadlift if you want. 

I'm now going to let you figure it out.  If you are blank right now, it's because you haven't read my other post.  It's all there for you, in detail.

I will answer all your questions, if you really do need help.  If you want to pay someone $60.00 an hour to pull out the machine pins for you and ask about your weekend plans during your set, don't ask me.

Anyone who knows me, will understand.  Innovative workouts require knowledge, and effort on your part.  Get going.
