Paul Garay Custom Workout Program - Day 1 Chest & Back

Continuing on with my Custom Workout Program for my good friend Paul Garay, todays YouTube Workout Video shows you Day 1 where I demonstrate some Chest and Back Exercises Paul will be doing using primarily his Total Gym. Paul will also be incorporating Cardio using his Elliptical, or some Skipping or Burpees. Paul will do his best to complete this entire workout without breaks but may at first need to take some small rests so that he is able to do complete sets.

Here is an example of a complete workout that Paul can scale to meet his available time and fitness level.

  • Total Gym Chest Press (1 set of 10-20 reps)
  • Total Gym Rear Facing Cable Back Pulls (1 set of 10-20 reps)
  • High intensity Elliptical, Skipping or Burpees. (1 minut) 
  • Total Gym Chest Press (1 set of 10-20 reps)
  • Total Gym Rear Facing Cable Back Pulls (1 set of 10-20 reps)
  • High intensity Elliptical, Skipping or Burpees. (1 minute) 
  • Total Gym Chest Press (1 set of 10-20 reps)
  • Total Gym Rear Facing Cable Back Pulls (1 set of 10-20 reps)
  • High intensity Elliptical, Skipping or Burpees. (1 minute)
  • Total Gym Chest Fly (1 set of 10-20 reps)
  • Total Gym Rear Facing Cable Back Rows (1 set of 10-20 reps)
  • High intensity Elliptical, Skipping or Burpees. (1 minute)
  • Total Gym Chest Fly (1 set of 10-20 reps)
  • Total Gym Rear Facing Cable Back Rows (1 set of 10-20 reps)
  • High intensity Elliptical, Skipping or Burpees. (1 minute)
  • Total Gym Chest Fly (1 set of 10-20 reps)
  • Total Gym Rear Facing Cable Back Rows (1 set of 10-20 reps)
  • High intensity Elliptical, Skipping or Burpees. (1 minute)

Paul can substitute some of the other exercises I show him in this video to make his workouts a bit more interesting and effective. 

This is a full 18 separate sets that should take Paul around 30 minutes to complete and will give Paul a complete muscle building and cardio workout targeted for Chest and Back. Paul can scale it by doing more or less sets and also adjusting the level of his Total Gym for more or less resistance.

Total Gym Back Workout

Today I bring to you a Total Gym Back Workout video and show you some of my favorite exercises I do using my Total Gym. I really find the Total Gym compliments my free weight back routine and even strengthens my overall ability when using free weights.

A quick update on how my "lose a few pounds program" is going, well not so good last week, I think I may have even gained a pound :( Guess I had a bad week with to much socializing going on! Well, time to get back in it and get those last few pounds off.

Not much to show you you here but here is my photo sequence to date:

Total Gym Chest Workout

Here is my YouTube video focusing specifically on some of my favorite Chest Exercises using the Total Gym. I find the Total Gym gives me a very quick targeted chest workout and really works some of the hard to get supporting muscles a regular chest workout just can't seem to equal.

I also just finished week three of my "lose a few pounds program" and even though I did not seem to lose much weight again I do feel stronger and a bit leaner and I will take any progress I can get ;)

Here are my latest progress photos.

Total Gym Shoulder Workout

Carrying on with some individual muscle workouts using the Total Gym, this week I show you some of my Shoulder exercises I regularly do. For me Shoulders are an area that I need to work a bit harder as I do not have naturally broad shoulders so you will see I spend a bit of extra time working this area.

In this YouTube Video I also talk about how things are going now that I have finished week two of my "Lose a Few Pounds" program and even though I stayed the course for the most part I leveled off a bit but I think my last week low was perhaps a bit low and So I expect to lose a couple more pounds this week :)

Here's How things are going so far...

Total Gym Arms Workout

Here is a quick YouTube video where I cover some of my favorite Total Gym Arm workouts, I show you a few exercises for biceps and triceps using the Total Gym.

We are are at the end of week one of my "lose a few pounds" program and so far so good, I have been really good about staying on my eating program. I really have not changed my diet too much, I'm just being more careful and making sure to eat a bit less and do my best to avoid some of the bad choices that taste so good ;) I even managed to lose about 3-4 pounds drooping from 184 to 180 pounds. It has actually been pretty easy so far.

I will be posting my photos weekly so you can see the gradual changes, not sure how long this will go on, I guess I will know when I get there...
