Happy end of September! Let’s finish out our split training for this month with a workout that complements the push and squat workout we tried last week. You’ll need a few weights: a couple moderate, a couple heavy. I highly recommend the dumbbells from Power Systems: I use them; they’re good; feel free to use that link as another way to support my work here, because I’ll get a tiny kickback from your purchase. (But truly, no pressure!)
As usual, you can skip the warmup or cooldown, or just do one or two rounds of the circuit, if you don’t have time or energy for the whole thing. You also don’t have to be moving for the entire minute — ideally, you’re getting a couple of reps away from failure in that time.
As a special treat, I’ve got a tiny little video upgrade for you this week, which is a few very cute and simple graphics to help nudge you when we’re starting the warmup, cooldown, or a new round of the circuit. Shoutout to Sela, a wonderful recent journalism school grad who’s started supporting some of my work here recently! I won’t be a fancy YouTuber anytime soon, but certainly open to adding a bit more if there’s something else you’d find useful in terms of video editing/finishing touches. I’m also looking into some hopefully-fun-and-not-annoying background music to try for a few videos — let me know if you have any immediate reaction to that idea. Ha!
Let’s go!
