Happy Power Monday! I hope you had a good first weekend of October. Me? Well not so much. Just a lot of struggling to get work done. I have my world history mid-term tomorrow, a huge economics packet due Wednesday, and a 7-10 page paper (first draft) due in my UW on Friday. It's getting there, but I am having such a hard time finding the motivation. I would rather not do any of it, so forcing myself is the only way, even if that takes an ungodly amount of time. At least I can break that time up by doing fun things like this workout 😉
I had fun with the Halloween themes on PicMonkey to make this upper body and arms workout festive. It's a good one. Use some heavy weights and scare your muscles into having a good time 😉 No tricks here, only a fun treat for your arms 😉 I hope your sore afterwards!
I love doing tricep pull-downs on the cable machine! It makes the triceps sore and worked, just how I like it 😉 I'm keeping it short today as you can see I've got a busy week. But I'll be back tomorrow like usual, don't worry! Until then, start by making the week a powerful one and have a great Monday! XOXO
So tell me:
+ How was your weekend?
+ What are you dressing up as for Halloween? Me...probably nothing, haha! I'll leave that to the kiddies.

Great sounding work out!!! Ugh... plank-ups. Whenever I groan about an exercise it makes me realise I need to do it more ;p

Kristina @Run Long, Live Well
This looks like an awesome workout, I think I'll definitely be adding it to my routine soon!
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine
Awesome!
Erica Ligenza
This is a great workout suggestion...I love it. Do you often do 20 reps in each set for upper body?? I've always heard 8-12 is best, so I'm super curious as to your reasoning behind 20! Props to you for doing 20 in 3 separate sets...that's awesome.

No rep scheme is better than another, it depends on weights, strength and endurance. I break up the 20 into 10 and 10 and superset them with one or two other exercises in the list!
Erica Ligenza
Awesome! Thank you for this...I'll be applying it to my own upper body days now, too!
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine
Good! People always seem to neglect upper body strength!
