Here’s a fun workout that will help you break up boredom you might be experiencing as you progress in your lifting program. It’s called The 35,000 Pounder, and as the name implies, you’ll lift 35,000 pounds today. I’ll tell you how I came up with it.
But first, let me be clear that this is NOT for a regular routine. This is a once-in-a-while workout (a single day at the gym). In your quest for gaining lean muscle mass, if you use any of my routines you’ll see weeks where I suggest doing “fun” workouts. This is different than taking a week off – this is still a serious week of lifting. It helps reset your mind and muscles so that you keep making progress.
But what do you do in these “fun” weeks? Well, I’m compiling a whole report on various single-workouts (I’m calling them The LeanLfiters Fun Workouts). And The 35,000 Pounder is one I’m sharing today.
A great aspect of this workout is that it is just as useful for beginners as it is for advanced lifters. It’s full-body, so works really well with FullBodyAttack but even for The 6x6x6 Routine and Hypertrofreak, you need some ideas for fun weeks.
Here’s exactly how you do it: (more…)
