That's just one example mate, I just think Jeff chooses obscure exercises at times when there are better alternatives.
I think something like this is more beneficial for most people
Simple exercises that you can add weight by just filling a bag with something or filling water bottles.
Thanks for that, I found this really useful for ideas, so I've broken it down into gifs for people.
Today I did chest, shoulders and triceps. My routine was:
Incline push ups – 3x12
Side to side push up – 3x3 (You might considered this 3x9, as I was considering 'left, centre, right' a rep. But turns out I'm really bad at this.)
Front Raises 3x12
Lateral Raises 3x12
One armed OHP 3x12
Overhead extensions 3x12
Dips on Chairs 3x8
7.5km run with sprints
I've got a load of filled up water bottles that I took out of the recycling, but they're not
quite watertight, so I've been putting them in a bucket and lifting the bucket from the handle. Thankfully they're almost all 1 litre, so 1kg, so I can easily know how much I'm doing, and add more weight in the weeks to come as needed.
I just made something up for the OHP, and it wasn't great, so might look at that. Also, I didn't go heavy enough on the overhead extensions, but overall it was an alright work out.
Back and biceps on Thurs, so need to think of what I'm doing for that.
EDIT: I also tried a handstand push up and almost broke half the room. strawberry float that noise.
