Arm Superset 1

3 Sets: 10-12 DB Curls 10-12 Skull Crushers (barbell or dumbbells) :30 Front Plank Hold Rest 1:30 Keep the DB's to a weight that will allow you do all reps without stopping, and making it to where the final 2 reps are a challenge. The skull crushers can be done with a barbell or a pair of DB's. The front plank hold is essentially going to be holding yourself at the top of a push-up position. If doing this form the ground is too much for today, then elevate your hands and place them on a bench, a box, a bar on the rig, whatever allows you to hold yourself in this position for 30 seconds. Log you weights used for the DB curls and the Skull Crushers. Put the weight used for the curls in the weight block, and put the weight for the skull crushers in the notes.

Shoulder Superset 1

3 Sets: 12-15 DB Front Raises 12-15 DB Lateral Raises 12-15 DB High Pulls :30 Hollow Hold Rest 1:30 This is a lot of reps, so keep these light and try to focus on not swinging your body to move the dumbbells. This will more than likely be a really light weight due to the movement. Think about something like 2.5-10lbs plates or DB's. If thats too easy, then go a little heavier. Doing the entire circuit without dropping the DB's. You don't have to hold the DB's during the hollow hold. Log the weight used for the DB's.

Core Circuit 3

2 Sets: 2:00 Dual KB Mixed Grip Carry 10 Plank Bird Dogs (each side) These plank bird dogs get tough, so take these nice and easy when starting. If you need to reduce the amount of reps, do so and in the future we can try to increase the reps! For the dual KB mixed grip carry, place one KB in the front rack, and one KB at your side. This may not be as heavy today and that's okay. The idea is to create control in your core, so you aren't leaning to one side. Log the weight you used for the KBs.
