Daily Workout - Chest & Back in Home Gym

I did a bit extra today as I plan to go camping for a few days, tomorrow I hope to do a quick morning MMA workout, then back home to do some last minute work, finish packing and then I'm gone for a few days. I don't think I will have any Internet where I am going but I might get a last minute post in tomorrow before I head out.

Back to todays workout... I'm on the Total Gym cycle again, today I did two body groups, Chest and Back.

Daily Workout - Back - at Fitness World

I know I said I was going to do my workouts this week with my Total Gym but again I found myself having to do a bank visit, and my bank being right beside the Fitness World that I have a membership at it makes it just to convenient! I was also feeling a bit stir crazy and needed to get out for a workout.

Going to the gym gives me the chance to use some equipment I don't have access to at home so I took advantage of this and used some of their universal gear to doe my Back workout.

  • 10 Minutes Elliptical.
  • Universal Wide Pull Downs x 3 Sets.
  • Universal narrow Pull Downs x 3 Sets.
  • Universal Rows x 3 Sets.
  • Abs: Inclined Sit-ups.
  • Misc. Stretching

Total workout time: About 1 hour.

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.

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).

  • 10 Minutes Elliptical.
  • Total Gym - Seated Wide Row.
  • Total Gym - Seated Narrow Row.
  • Total Gym - Pull Downs (Lying on Back).
  • Total Gym - Seated Shoulder Press.
  • Total Gym - Reverse Shoulder Raises (Lying on Back Upside-down).
  • Total Gym - Seated Shoulder Raises (Front to Back).
  • Total Gym - Front Seated Shoulder Raises.
  • Total Gym - Abs: Seated Side Twists in Forward Position).
  • Misc. Stretching.

  • Total workout time: About 1.5 hours.
