Workout until burn-out

Scott Schwab

The post today is meant to give you a whole new routine and a workout that is sure to exhaust you. Let me warn you that it is not something that you should pick up if you are not used to working out. It is a full body workout meant to burn your body out. I would suggest having an Amino acid while you work out followed by a protein shake after your workout. The goal is to choose 4 workouts for your upper body and 2 workouts for the lower body. The workout is meant to work the entire body and provide an exercise that you are not used to. Here is an example. Choose a squat and a lunge for the lower body and then bench, curls, pull-ups, and dips. Stick with the 10 reps, but you are going to do as many sets as your body will allow you to. Find weights at about 75% of your max and do your 10 reps for each of the 6 exercises. Continue to cycle through the exercises as many times as your body can physically allow. Make sure that you have water and take a break if you need it. The goal is to quickly move through each exercise, so take all your weights and put them in a general area so that people are not taking your weights and working in. You can partner up with another person, but make sure that both of you start with different exercises so you are pushing the other to keep moving so you are not waiting. Start with an arm, move to a leg, then arm, leg, and finish with two arms work outs. You are going to be tired, but just keep going through until you can only do 1-2 reps. Set your time at 1 hour and do as many as you can within that time frame. You will notice that the number of sets you are able to do should grow week after week. Try this workout one day out of a week and then the next week do it again and try and beat your number of sets. Eventually you will notice your stamina is up, you will have toned muscle, and your 75% will be at a higher weight. Plus this will give you a release from the everyday norm. You can choose any 6 exercises, just make sure that each targets a different area then the others. This way you are getting a full body workout. Like always finish with an abdominal workout. One of my favorites is to get a 15 pound weight and put it between your feet. Grab the pull up bar and lift yourself to where you are hanging from the bar and the 15 pound weight is in between your feet. At this point you will do knee ups. Try and get your knees as close to your chest as possible while flexing your abs. While still being suspended you can work your obliques by doing the side knee ups. Go side to side until you cant lift your knees anymore. By this point you are going to be pretty fatigued so don't over do it. This is also a good exercise to do on another day when you're not as fatigued. Let me know how many sets that you can do and what exercises you find to give you that ultimate workout.
