In keeping with this week’s hypertrophy focus (muscle building/growth), this upper body routine is formatted for moderate rep ranges that allow you to challenge yourself with your “moderately heavy” weight selections. Nonetheless, the workout is rated as level 3 because your perception of its difficulty is highly dependent on your own personal weight choices. The exercises and formatting are straightforward to create accessibility and allow for modifications and progressions. There are also a couple of burnout rounds but you can check out the workout to experience this glorious muscle sizzle.
Something to keep in mind as we work through Week 2 of the program is how you determine your weight choices, figure out when to challenge or pull back the intensity of a workout, and how you speak to yourself during a training session (including out loud, I talk to myself a lot!). Navigating these variables becomes less cumbersome when we learn to trust ourselves instead of solely depending on external feedback for permission to “perform” a certain way. As you gain more experience with training and movement, you gather more knowledge about how your own personal circumstances and preferences affect your behavioral patterns. Trust that you have the tools and skills to figure out how to approach your workouts and wellness routines! And if that self-trust isn’t automatic or feels shaky to you right now, no worries. Stay the course - your confidence builds with every experience!
I hope you’ve been enjoying the program so far! Come back to this post and let me know how you enjoyed the push-ups finisher (notice I said “how” not “if”).
