Strong Training

I like training at the YMCA because they always ask me if I'm a student when I buy a day pass.

Today's workout was inspired by the movie, "Strong". It's a documentary about Joe DeFranco's warehouse gym in Jersey where he trains a lot of NFL players, hardcore college kids, and anyone with a never quit attitude. It will get you pumped to train. Check out www.defrancostraining.com.

The movie is awesome, but just the parts about his dad training, arm wrestling, and being a cop will make it worth your time. It's different than Bigger, Faster, Stronger, but like that movie, it is mandatory viewing. I can't believe I let it sit around for over 18 months before watching it.

My training:

1A) Db press
1B) Wide grip row

2A) 1-arm neutral grip db shoulder press
2B) DB chest-supported row

3A) Chins
3B) Dips

4A) DB tri extensions
4B) DB curls

All done in about 35 minutes.

It is better to give than to receive.

Thats a pretty good and simple routine... hitting prime movers and antagonist one right after the other.

I usually end up getting a bit more complicated with mine.
