Back & Biceps - This hour-long nightmare (my husband's word) includes yet more pull-ups as well as biceps exercises.There are a variety of killer moves - pushups, including a one-arm version that caused a few face-plants in my house, dips, and shoulder presses. Chest, Shoulders & Triceps - During your 2nd month, you ramp things up with this more advanced workout, which follows a tri-set format.However, the pushups (and there are a lot of them) and crazy core moves like Banana rolls and plank/pushups had my husband gasping, " This is supposed to be recovery week?" Core Synergistics - The fact that this workout is scheduled during rest week makes it sound like a soothing, low-key workout.There are no pull-ups or pushups, just an hour of dynamic and static stretching for the entire body.
