- Strength Circuits
- These sequences are some options to mix into your strengthening routine
- I would try to put one of these at the end of a workout. You can try a different one each time.
- I set a goal for each movement of 8-20 reps SLOWLY
- If you are getting to 20 reps then you are ready to progress that movement
- Each circuit do the first set trying to get 8-20 reps of each movement, then do a second time through doing 1/2 as many reps as the first set.
- Circuit #1
- Circuit #2
