No Races....Muscle Time

So, unfortunately, I have no more races scheduled until the Midwest Super Spartan on October 27th.  I am waiting to hear back from my company as to whether or not they will cover my registration for the Chicago Half Marathon on September 9th.  My wife and I are considering running the Monster Dash in Chicago in October as well but so far I have nothing that I am officially registered for until the Spartan Race so I have started back with a heavy weight lifting and lower cardio regimen for the next month or 2, or at least till I hear about another race that requires training and preparation.

For my weightlifting, I have almost always put together my own routines but this time I decided I would go with some routines that are ready to go and all I have to do is the work.  I started researching Mike Chang's Six Pack Shortcuts product and I will admit, I am interested.  Before I commit to purchasing them however, I decided that I would use some of his videos that he has already uploaded to YouTube.

I have done a few of his workouts and I will say I am impressed.  They genuinely push me and I could feel a difference.  The first day I did 3 of his workouts.  Back, Shoulders and Biceps.  I was feeling the after effects for 2 days.  I put my wife through a more total body version of his workouts and she was smoked by the end.  I will admit I was impressed with the workouts and with his instruction.  (found out I was doing Dead-lifts improperly this whole time).

The following videos are the 3 workouts that I did.  I will be doing his Chest workout today along with triceps.
