Last week we completed back-to-back full-body workouts and found that completing them on consecutive days was quite tiring and did not allow enough time for muscle recovery. This weekend we decided to do things a bit differently. We split the exercises into pulling (i.e. back and hamstrings) on the first day, and pushing (i.e. chest, quads and shoulders) on the second day.
On Saturday we completed a workout that included both strength and FGB components.
Strength (3 sets each):
- Parallel-grip pullups
- Romanian deadlifts
FGB (3 circuits):
- One-arm kettlebell rows
- Underhand chins
- Alternating kettlebell deadlifts
- Jungle Gym Face Pulls
- One-leg hip bridges
On Sunday we completed our "pushing" workout, circuit-style. We super-setted 3 exercises at a time (followed by a brief rest period), for three sets each, and completed 6 exercises in total.
Here is what we did:
1a. Bench press
1b. Double kettlebell squats
1c. Handstand pushups
2a. Double kettlebell walking lunges
2b. Jungle Gym Flys
2c. Kettlebell Clean & Press
We unfortunately did not have time to create a video, however all of these exercises have appeared previously in our posts.
We found splitting the workouts into pulling and pushing let us use different muscles each day, allowing for proper muscle recovery and better performance. Try out these workouts and let us know how they go for you!
