Posted by webmaster On January - 25 - 2007

A) Rope Work, Quads and Glutes

Heavy Rope Work 200, 100rev x 8 (Whew….fast pace, lungs clean, feeling good, a feeling of euphoria has enveloped me, feels nice. take a short break. Drop some Metabolic Diet, and then hit the iron.)
Dumbbell Squats: 20, 30, 40lbs x 15 reps for a warmup
DB Squats: 60lbs x 15, 15 (to the floor)
Pullovers: 60lbs x 10, 10 (very good, breathing like a freight train)
DB Stepups High Bench: 15lbs x 15 per leg

B) Forearms, Traps 930PM

DB Shruggs 80 x 15 x 2
Dumbbell Wrist Curls 35 x 10 x 3 per arm
Reverse 15 x 10 x 3

Observations:

The Quick-Lock Dumbbells are simply awesome. I love them. I have not found a single flaw in the concept or design. They are simply incredible.

The DB squats are a great exercise, especially if done to the floor. Coupled with breathing pullovers, and you have a seriously good workout. Finished with one set of stepups. That is enough for now. I am still getting use to the stress again. I do not want to over stimulate too soon.

My goal of DB Squats with 120lb monsters seems like an eternity away. At 60lbs and 15 reps, I was feeling it big time. I also think that my lungs just lack the conditioning they need. It is abundantly clear to me that my life and well-being depends on exercise more than it does for the average person.
