Crazy 8's




Today I thought I'd give a quick post to start the week out strong with a solid workout! The workout is called Crazy 8's. It seems relatively simple, lower weight, fewer reps but I promise that come the end of workout you will feel that burn!

Start with a 45 lb bar sans any added weight plates. You will work your way up in weight through the exercise. There are a total of 5 sets. For the first set just use the bar, the second set add 5 pounds to each side, the third add five pounds to each side, the fourth reduce to just five pounds on each side and then the last set with just the bar again.

On to the workout now..

With no rest in between exercises start with:

8 bent over rows
8 upright rows
8 shoulder press
8 good mornings
8 squats
8 left leg lunges
8 right leg lunges
8 close leg stance squats (go far enough down on these that your butt touches the back of your calves and then shoot strait up lifting the bar into another shoulder press from behind the head)

At the end of the sequence take a 1 minute rest, add/subtract weights for the next sets and get back at it! Good luck!
