So you're a bodybuilder? That workout would totally mess me up.

I'm a minimalist. I don't think that more exercise is always better.

I'm no bodybuilder. I just have a job that requires me to have massive amounts of strength and endurance. The guys in my unit range from 130 lbs to 220 lbs and we use this workout for 2-3 weeks at a time at different times throughout the year.

If it looks really crazy, it isn't. (Honestly) You can use whatever weight you see fit and it doesn't have to take too long either (the Tuesday workout took me 30 minutes on the dot.)

I would love this work out. I'm looking to tone those areas of fat and gain some muscle. Looking forward to trying it!!!

Actually, it looks like the kind of workout that young guys would be drawn to, though some of the exercises are not all that effective. It's the kind of workout people who belong to a gym and want to use all the equipment would use.

I built my workout around the 3 power lifts, and then added bodyweight exercises. I'm the strongest woman I know at any age. But I just do it for me.

Just out of curiosity, which exercise would you identify as not all that effective?

My guys pointed out to me this morning that I made a typo:

Friday's Vomitron should be 10-8-6-4-2 and not 10-8-6-2. Also, the 15-12-10 section on that same day is quad-sets, so you go through each exercise at 15 reps, then 12, and so on.

We made it all the way through this week and everyone is pretty smoked from it. I plan on making a couple tweaks to the program, but nothing big.

Isolation exercises on machines are less effective than compound exercises using free weights or bodyweight.

No single workout will work for everyone, nor will a single, unaltered workout work for the same person over their lifetime. This is just one that works for me and my guys. I don't have a degree in exercise physiology or any related field, but I've been working out and lifting weights for over 20 years and I've logged a lot of reps.

What are you talking about miss I have an ANSWER to all posts! Those are exercises that anyone who is looking to shape his are her body should be doing! The thing IS... do you have mind power to do it?
