Complex #1

Posted on by

So what is a complex? It is a set of exercises performed right after another either for time or for amount of repetitions.

Our complex performed last night included 6 exercises back to back, each exercise was 6 reps, for a total of 36 reps.

We used an Olympic barbell and 1 – 45 lb bumper plates on each side.

The exercises included:
1. Squat
2. Push Press
3. Bent Over Row
4. Deadlift
5. High Pull
6. Reverse Lunges

Do about 3 – 4 sets. Focus on quality, but try to keep the time low as well.

I’ve been slacking keeping the WOD’s up to date on the blog so its only WOD #4.

Last night we worked on arms, shoulders and core. Good 40 -50 mins workout.

Arms:
1. Resistance band curls 20, 15, 10 reps for 3 different sets
2. TRX 90 degree bicep flex (minor movement) 30 secs  for 3 sets
3. Single arm kettle bell pistols 10 – 15 reps for 3 rounds.

Shoulders:
1. Kettle bell clean and press – 15 reps for 3 sets
2. Inverted kettle bell press – 6 reps for 3 sets
3. Dumb bell shoulder side raise – 10 reps for 3 sets

Abs:
1. Hanging leg raise to chest
2. TRX double knee tucks
3. Decline situp rotation alternate sides w/ stick on back
30 secs each for 3 rounds

And then you can finish with some cardio, such as punching the bags, or running on an incline treadmill doing intervals.

WOD #3

Posted on by

So this time we blasted our arms and back with this workout.

Five sets of each exercise, 20 sec rest between sets and no rest between exercises.

1. Bent over row – 12 reps (25 lb bumper plates each side)
2. Hammer curl – 12 reps ( medium high weight )
3. Lower back extension – 15- 20 reps ( 25 lb medicine ball )
4. Tricep extension over head – 12 reps ( 60 lb dumb bell )
5. Wide arm pullups [lower body completely] – 10 – 12 reps (body weight)
6. highest tension resistance band [ full range of motion ] – 20 reps

After doing the 6 exercises, do 4 – 5 sets of the next 2 exercises to finish.

1b. Single arm dumbell row – heavy weights – 6 reps
2b.TRX tricep extension – 10 reps

This should provide a very good back and arm exercise. At least my arms and triceps felt it.
