I've did this workout a couple of weeks ago as a light gap filler, but after some input from Jayson at nevergetsoft.blogspot.com, I've adapted it and worked it into the regular line-up.

Warm up: 5 min light to moderate cardio, light shoulder presses, 15 'air squats'

Workout:
4x10 Reps Deadlift, 195#. Rest for 120 sec. in between sets.

4x10 Shoulder Press, 60#. Rest for 120 sec. in between sets.

Strenuous ab workout of your choice.

Run 20 min.

This is a good strength workout, the challenge being to perform the workout once every two weeks, adding 5# to the shoulder press and 10# to the deadlift each time.

Take it easy

I hate The Eagles.

Anyway, this workout was fairly relaxed, I''m still a little wiped from a tough week last week, and a busy work schedule this week. I did want to get in to the gym and start tuning it back up again, so here's today's action:

Warmup - moderate cardio, light squats, bent over rows, and push presses.

Workout-

Deadlift - 4x10x185#
Push Press 4x10x70#

Not too tought, the presses got to a fairly taxing level, and the deadlifts started to burn pretty good at the end. Just enough to start getting the body back into work mode.
