The Kellan Lutz/Men's Health Workout
Date - Completed on June 1, 2011
Pre-game thoughts - I've done all of these exercises before. Men's Health tends to sprinkle these multi-joint movement exercises, using large muscle groups, into most of their intermediate to advanced workouts. I don't really love how deep the pictures suggest you should drop during the front squat to press and goblet squat, so I plan to drop down until my thighs are parallel to the floor.
I also did my own bootcamp with neighbors the day before so I'm not sure if I will be sore.
Goal - Complete 2 sets of each exercise, working in a circuit
Result - I worked out with a friend and we did all of the exercises, except for the two abdominal exercises (we did 50 crunches on a stability ball), in a circuit. My friend only had one little issue with the explosive push-up when he got a little whip-lash during his second rep and decided to finish the push-ups with his hands on the ground.
I also felt the workout was a bit heavy on the "mirror muscles" (the muscles you can see when you stand in the mirror - chest, abs, arms, quads) so I added in a reverse fly for the upper back and backs of the shoulders, and back extensions.
I did not feel sore the next morning but we do a lot of the movements in the bootcamp we participate in on Tuesday and Thursdays.
If you try this workout, let me know what you think!
