Your favourite workout

[bkozican]

Title is pretty self explanatory....whats your favourite workout or exercise?

Find myself waiting for chest day and squats. I have a weird love with being at the bottom and the feeling of the burn standing back up with all the weight trying to keep you down....unfortunately that is the only part of leg day I like. My enthusiasm got down pretty fast after squats.

I am a big fan of the Les Mills Bodystep and Body Attack classes - they are such great workouts.

Legs and biceps

 

[mcuzzy]

Upper day and lower day alternating, 3x a week.

 

[Bazzar]

Kettlebell swings, Boxing heavy bag and Rowing machine- all three tabata's.

I always walk tall after my heavy legs session, nothing like some big squats and deads to make you feel good about life.

Love weighted pullups because I feel like a bad ass doing them with 30kg around my waist

Loving bench press at the moment, it's always been a weakness but I'm pushing out 100kg for reps at the moment and that feel pretty rewarding.

I love back day and arm day.

Really enjoy wide grip pull ups, rows, skull crushers and bicep curls.

I always feel awesome doing unassisted pull ups for some reason.

Probably because not many girls can do them, fair effort

Boxing is my favourite. Probably because there are so many variations so it doesn't feel repetitive. Heavy bag, speed ball, different combos etc and feel like I get the most out of it.

Massive effort - kudos.

Managed 4 x 8 with 20kgs last week for the first time ever (previously I was always failing on the 4th set), and just adding 2.5kgs more seems to make it way more difficult.

4 x 8 @ 20kg is probably harder than what I do, I go super low volume I'm pretty sure this is my best effort

Weighted Wide Grip Pullups 30kg 6,4,4

At Crossfit we did a workout the other day that was fun. We had a pack of cards. Each suit stood for a different exercise(diamonds =push ups, hearts = pull ups, spades = box burpees and clubs = kettle bell swings). Someone drew a card and if it was say the 6 of diamonds we had do 6 push ups). If it was a face card we had to a 200 metre run. It was fun except the bit where we drew three face cards in a row.

Not sure I like the idea of random exercises. It's what keeps physio's busy with the crossfit concept. Crossfit's great when the PT knows his stuff.

They were all exercises we do regularly. Our PTs are awesome. Very knowledgeable and experienced. They stress the importance of looking after ourselves and doing mobility stretches and exercises. I have had a lot less issues with injuries and soreness doing crossfit than I did when I was running.

35 years ago this was my favorite. I was the only kid on the block with a bullworker and still have it.

My old man had one of those, I reckon he'd still have it laying around somewhere too.

Im more happy to have the chart than the actual bullworker. I still use it every now and again and its actually tough stuff except for pic 1 as i could max that out at 13 or 14

Anyone watching the footy wrap from the Eagles rooms. The bullseye on the wall, their is a red ball up top on a adjustable wire? Anyone know what its for

+1 for weighted pull ups.

Finally got my belt and chain back so I can start doing these again and did my first session yesterday morning. My lats feel like they could pop out of my skin today, so good.

Just a heads up, tonight on ABC Catylist is about exercising for 6 minutes per week (is it all you need) doing HIIT
