Recovering from the flu, I had barely done anything that didn’t involve lying in the fetal position much less anything that resembled exercise. Today was the first day back so I had already forgiven myself in advanced for how bad I was going to suck. My program looked like this:
Hack Squats X 20 superset with
Split squats X 20 x 2
Incline cable press X12 superset with
Bench push ups X 10
Dead lift X 15 superset with
Wide chin ups X 10
French Press X 12 superset with close bench press to failure barbell biceps curl X 12 and neutral grip chin-up to failure.
I did 3 sets of each superset with about 1 minute rest in between. The workout took about 50 minutes and a small piece of my soul.
After any hiatus, I always opt for a full body workout vs. a split program. Don’t expect the performance of a specific muscle group to fill your workout time after time off. Chances are you'll tax the muscle in a shorter period of time so spread out the work over the entire body and you will burn more calories overall and prime all the muscles to get back into your regular routine asap.
Tomorrow back to regularly scheduled programming
