What A Workout I Had: Chest, Shoulders, Traps & Cardio

in fitness •  8 years ago 

What a workout I had. I trained chest, shoulders and traps. I also did 25 minutes of cardio. 

Chest

I hammered my chest with drop sets all the way. My chest workout looked like this: 

  • Dumbbell incline presses
  • Dumbbell flat presses
  • Dumbbell pull-over
  • pec-deck flyes
  • Incline machine flyes
  • High cable chest flyes

I did three drop sets for each. 

Shoulders

For shoulders I did giant sets. I performed three giant sets in total. That doesn't seem like much, but it is. Basically, my shoulder workout went down like this: 

  •  Dumbbell shoulder presses
  •  Barbell upright rows
  •  Barbell front raise
  •  Lateral raises
  •  Rear-delt rows

I did all those exercises in a row, took a rest and did it two more times for a total of three giant sets. 

Cardio 

My cardio workout was short and intense. It looked like this: 

  •  Elliptical: 10 minutes
  • Treadmill: 10 minutes
  • Arc trainer: 5 minutes

I did the arc trainer after my weight workout. I did the elliptical and treadmill before my weight workout. 

I feel real good and I will definitely be sore tomorrow. It may look like too many exercises, but I stick with light weight and these days I train more for endurance than anything.

Excellent video! As for reps, I stuck within the 12-15 range.

I didn't go to sport for a while already, I feel like I'm became weeker and weeker. Upvoted from @chanthasam

I used to have a lot of strength, but I tend to train with light or medium weight these days. My strength isn't that impressive anymore, but my endurance has improved tenfold!
