Daily Workout - Back Chin-ups in Home Gym

Sorry no Picture today! But I did make a new video about doing an Upper Body Workout using body weight exercises. I'll have it up in a bit...

So today I did my back using my Smith Machine. It has a nice angled Chin-up bar on it and I also use the straight bar to do standing bent over rows.

• No real Warmup today other than some stretching :(
• Wide Chin-ups - 3 sets of 8-10.
• Narrow Chin-ups - 3 sets of 8-10.
• Standing bent over rows - 3 sets of 10-12.
• Abs - Wheel Extensions from kneeling position.
• Misc. Stretching.

Total Workout about 45 minutes.

• Warmup: Eliptical for 10 minutes.
• Bench Press with Smith Machine.

Daily Workout - Arms with Total Gym

 

I'm on the Total Gym this week and to finish off I just need to do my Arms. I don't really use my Total Gym for lower body stuff as I need to use a fair amount of weight for my legs and I find my Smith Machine and Bench Attachments work really well for me in this area.

Getting back to Arm on the Total Gym... What can I say, the Total Gym does a great job for Arms and if all I had was a Total Gym I could build great Arms with it. Since I have other gear I can use at home in at my local gym I use a variety of gear for all my different workouts - why not?

• 10 Minutes Elliptical.
• Biceps: Lying Down Curls with Total Gym. (3 Sets with an increase in the incline each time)
• Biceps: Seated Curls with Total Gym. (2 Sets with an increase in the incline each time)
• Triceps: Seated Overhead Extension with the Total Gym.
• Triceps: Lying Down Extension with the Total Gym.
• Triceps: Rear Extension with the Total Gym.
• Abs: Seated forward Side Twists with the Total Gym.

Total workout time: About 1 hour.

Daily Workout - Back and Shoulders with Total Gym

I took the Sunday off which is kind of normal as it's usually reserved as a family day. Once in a while I'll get a bit of cardio in if I'm lucky. So today I found myself working at home doing some file encoding for my Mac Video Training business and while I wait for videos to export, there's not much to do so in between is as good a time as any to do my workout!

Today was Back day but since I had a bit of extra time between encoding I did my Shoulders also. I'm using my Total Gym this week which I find to be one of my favorite workout tools (I hope to talk more about the Total Gym in detail either in a YouTube Video or a dedicated Blob Post).
