Monday Workout: Heavy

I am on vacation this week.  So here is an opportunity to hit the gym and do a heavy workout with a buddy to spot you. 

Here’s how it works.  Begin (after the warm up) with the first pair of exercises.  Choose a weight for each that works for ten reps.  Do a set of ten of each.  Then increase the weight a little for each, reducing the numbers of reps as needed.  Continue to alternate exercises until you can only do a single rep.  Take a longer rest, drink some water, and move on to the next pair (if you have the energy.  It is totally ok to spend half an hour doing squats and bench press to the 1 rep max and then go straight to abs, SMR, and stretching.)  Continue until you run out of energy or time.  Write down the starting and ending weights for each exercise!
