The Chairman's Fitness Challenge Blog

I wrapped up week one of the "strict" hard-body plan on Wednesday with some good soreness in various muscles and some modest weight loss.  (I think the weight loss may have been due to a couple of light-eating "sick days" more than anything else, but at this stage I will take it.)  So it's time to move to workout week #2.

Most of the exercises are familiar, including the hack squat, and the upper-body routines are straightforward, but the leg day looks crazy.  Bench lateral step-ups (which I've never done before), front squats, hack squats, and duck squats make up four of the seven moves.  The duck squats look pretty odd - another move I can honestly say I've never seen in the gym.  I'll give it a go, and I may be calling for a wheelbarrow to cart me out of there after that workout!  I'll be looking at Tuesday or Wednesday for the legs/butt, after doing arms/shoulders on Sunday.
