		<description>I&#039;m doing the 2 day workout for second week now and it works well. I&#039;m going to stick to it for about a month or so. Then i&#039;ll do the workout from Get Strong post from october 2008.

I added some abs, lower back, neck workouts to it but they do not extend the workout by much.

When i warm up i do circles with arms, legs,.. then on day 1 i do back hiperextensions 10 reps 3 sets(eventually building it up to 3x20) in between i don&#039;t rest but i do 15 easy reps of the exercises of that day. Then I do the workout. When i finish i do neck exercise front and back side as a super set and rest for a minute in total i do 3 supersets with reps from 10-15.

Day 2 it&#039;s the same except: 
- I do abs instead of back hiperextension, i rotate between lower, upper and side abs, so each workout i do another.
- I do neck exercises left and right side.

When i cut the resting time to the the minimum i plan to throw in at the end of the workout some forearms and calves exercises i&#039;ll do them to exhaustion for example wrist curls upper side (20 reps) lower side 20 reps (20 reps) and side to side (20 reps) with no rest between exercises.

Have a nice day. 

p.s. not the best English but i hope you get the idea :)</description>

		<description>Good workout. 

Do you have any suggestions for alternatives to upright rows, since i&#039;m reading much about them being bad for shoulders. Myself i don&#039;t feel any pain while doing them.

Thanks.

&lt;strong&gt;If you are worried about the upright rows then sub them for Lateral Raises which are a bit easier on the shoulders. Saying this upright rows if done with good form and at a controlled speed without using momentum should not cause too much strain on the shoulders.&lt;/strong&gt;</description>

		<description>Another fantastic post.  People need to realize there is not a magic science to it, there are just simple rules.  The crazy contraptions, HUGE gym fees and infomercial crap doesn&#039;t do it, consistency and effort does.  Thanks for showing how simple it could, and Should be.</description>
