Cycle 11

Day 1: Hypertrophy

As we continue down a successful workout road, everything holds consistent. It's about Christmas time, so adjustments are being made to make sure everything fits and so that we don't lose any momentum. What ever you have to do to get it done, do it!

3 sets of 12:

45 degree leg press/calf raise (450)
Pull-ups
Lateral DB raise (10)
Romanian Deadlift (155)
Leg lifts
High Pull
Push-up (50 consecutive)

Days 2 and 3: Active Recovery

30 - 40 minutes of cardio

One active recovery day involves ancillaries:

Scapular stabilization series
internal/external rotation 3 X 10
forward and backward pitching on one leg (3 X 10)
Planks (40s. on, 20s. rest)

Day 4: Dynamic - The LeBron Workout

I was in a rush, and so I went with an old faithful. However, this is a great workout.
