HIIT Workout

Hey everyone so for the past couple months or so I have been running a new HIIT cardio program to try to slim up and lose some fat. So far I have lost about 30 lbs and have seen significant differences in my body fat! My work out is only about 25-30 minutes including stretching before hand so it is something that you could do if you are short on time.
What I do is 5 exercises for a minute each with 5 seconds of rest inbetween for 3 sets. My first 4 exercises are always the same but the last one I usually switch it up from day to day depending on what area of my body I will be working on that day. So for leg day I'll do a minute of deep body weight squats, chest day I'll do a couple different variations of pushups, for the other days I'll do some ab workouts.

So my workout typically looks like this.

Jumprope-1 minute
5 second rest
High knees-1 minute
5 second rest
Butt kicks-1 minute
5 second rest
Leaps and bounds-1 minute
5 second rest
Exercise depends on the day-1 minute
Repeat 3 times for a workout lasting only about 17 minutes.
Trust me this will have you sweating in no time and like all HIIT circuits you continue to burn fat after the workout is done, this I believe is the main reason I have been able to lose close to 30 lbs in the last couple months.

Power Bodybuilding

This week we have started a new workout called power bodybuilding! We found this on Bodybuilding.com. It is a beast of a workout that consists of high weight, low reps with high sets. Instead of doing a couple of sets with moderately high weight you go 5 sets of 5 reps at the highest weight you can get all the reps out. It is exactly what this blog is about lifting big to get big! So far I am loving this new workout. It is a beast and I can definitely tell I am going to see some good gains with this program.  Today we did the chest workout. On bench I did one set of 5 at 225 lbs then I jumped to 275 lbs and did 4 sets of 5 reps. After bench we go over to incline press and do 5 sets of 5. After incline press we moved over to incline dumbbell flies with 65 lbs for 3 sets of 10. By the end of this your chest is feeling it! We finished our workout with a set of hammer curls. What a great workout, I am hoping that if I keep at it I'll be up to ab 400 lb bench press by June of next year...

Greetings Everyone

Hey what’s up everyone?! Thanks for visiting my blog! I created this blog to follow me and my Dad’s workouts, and track our progess to becoming beasts in the weight room. My dad on the far left with all the winners at the Utah Summer Games Powerlifting Competition Me and my Dad started working out about 2 years ago. We started because we both wanted to get into better shape and to gain some strength. We started out with no real goal in mind other than to just trim up. We did that for about 6 months and saw a little bit of weight loss and fat loss. At the beginning of this year my dad got the idea to compete in the Utah Summer Games powerlifting competition. The events included bench, squat, and deadlift. So in January we got serious about lifting heavy weight and quit worrying so much about being cut. We saw some huge gains in our lifts once we got serious and started lifting heavy weights. For the first time ever my bench got over the 3 plate mark. I played football in high school ...

Curls are for the girls

Monday, Wednesday, and Friday are generally our "upper body" days. On those days we work out chest and biceps out. I put upper body in quotations because on our "leg" day we also do shoulders and our back so its technically not our entire upper body. So anyways to get on to our workout. On "upper body" days we start out with flat bench and do a warm up of 10 reps at 135 lbs we then jump to 225 and do a set of 5, next is 255x5, then last we do 275x5. We then move straight to incline bench press and do the same sets just less weight. Directly after we jump right over to the barbell military press and we do 2 sets of 10. By then our chest and triceps are usually feeling really good! By really good I mean they are killing us haha. We push on and go over to the chest ISO machines. We do 2 sets each on the incline ISO, the decline ISO and the wide grip ISO. Our chest is killing by then and feels like if we do another set it might just explode! We feel like our t...
