Day 31: Back & Biceps (Killer!)

It's hard to type this. I am really feeling yesterdays workout. There is something about working the biceps that I really enjoy, in a sadistic sense. It is definitely a good kind of pain. Sort of.

The workout is well paced once again. 24 Different exercises to destroy your recovered muscles.
They are:
Wide Front Pull-Ups
Lawnmowers
Twenty-Ones
One-Arm Cross Body-Curls
Switch-Grip Pull-Ups
Elbows-Out Lawnmowers
Standing Bicep Curls
One arm Concentration Curls
Corn Cob Pull-Ups (OMG- You have got to be kidding me! Pure torture!)
Reverse Grip Bent-Over Rows
Open Arm Curls
Static Arm Curls
Towel Pull-Ups (I really liked these. I didn't do that well with these, but I like the idea!)
Congdon Locomotives (Awesome. I love these. It's a great Power move. Fun!)
Crouching Cohen Curls (These are really hard to do with the bands.)
One-Arm Corkscrew Curls
Chin Ups (What is the difference between these and "Reverse Grip Pull Ups? Anyone? Bueller?)
Seated Bent-Over Back Flys
Curl-Up/Hammer Down (Again, hard with the bands)
Hammer Curls
Max Rep Pull-Ups (I felt so weak at this point I didn't come close to doing my usual amount!)
Superman (Unlike the Core Synergistics, this was a welcome relief from the rest!)
In-Out Hammer Curls (Duh-na-na-na. Hammer Time!)
Strip-Set Curls (4 reps starting with a high weight and decreasing incrementally. This was tough with the bands, but I made it work. A great exercise.)

Overall it was a great workout. I still struggle with some of the pull-ups and some of the band routines don't work well. The "MyGym" (the parts that weren't broken) continues to be a very good replacement for weights and the bands, as it is much easire to just stand on it and pull as opposed to trying to loop the band to get more resistance. If I didn't have the MyGym, I don't think I would be doing nearly as well with some of the exercises that call for weights (especially since I broke one of my bands), although it is very difficult to guess the weight as the bands increas in resistance the farther you stretch them (and decreas the opposite way). As long as you keep track of the color and whether you are standing, kneeling or sitting, you can probably figure out a system that works.

I think this is the last new routine, since the Cardio X isn't part of the "Classic" routine, so my future reviews will be anything new that I notice. Thanks for reading and keep bringing it!
