Tonight I’ll be doing my upper body weight workout. I recently signed up for a site that allows me to post video of different exercises on my blog, so I thought I’d use some of those exercise videos here to show you my routine that I’ll be doing tonight.
How do I do the routine
When workout out with weights I have a pretty simple routine that I follow. I lift weights 2 to 3 times a week, alternating every other day with upper body and lower body workouts. For each body muscle group that I’m working out I’ll do 6 sets, with varying weights and with reps of 12, 10, 8, 6 and two sets of 12 (but different exercises). For example, for my shoulders tonight I might do something like this:
Dumbell Shoulder Press
Set 1: 12 reps with 15 pounds
1 minute rest
Set 2: 10 reps with 20 pounds
1 minute rest
Set 3: 8 reps with 20 pounds
1 minute rest
Set 4: 6 reps with 25 pounds
1 minute rest
Set 5: 12 reps with 20 pounds
no reset
Set 6: 12 reps with 20 pounds, but a new exercise.
