Notes: Day 55! Only five more days left with the FitnessBuilder! Second day of working out with the dumbbells, I never knew the amount of exercises that could be done with dumbbells. It’s a long way from the poster exercises that come with most weight sets.

Dumbbells, Level 3: Comprehensive, Workout 8
Front Squat / Pullover / Arnold Press / Bent Over Row / Uni Stiff Leg Deadlift / Renegade Rear Delt Row / Uni Extension / Reverse Curl / Russian Twist / Negative Crunch

Exercise of the Day: Uni Extension tricep exercise. Want to really isolate that tricep muscle this is the exercise for you. Isolation and a little be of burn is a great recipe for muscle growth.

FitnessBuilder Week 11.

Notes: Happy Thanks Giving! God Bless. Today I wanted to make sure that I was switching up my routine a little bit more. So I decided to go back to my dumbbells which allows for more isolation while working out. With the amount of working out that I have been doing I pushed myself into the advance levels of the FitnessBuilder’s dumbbell routine.

Today’s work out was exactly what I needed to shock my muscles and challenge myself.

Workout Time: 1 hr 59 min

Dumbbells, Level 3: Comprehensive, Workout 7
Crossover Step Up / Twisting Bench Press / Bent Over Row & Twist  / Push Press Split Squat Rotation / Toe Touch /Concentration Curl / Kickback / Plank Weight Transfer

Exercise of the day: Bent Over Row & Twist back exercise. The nice thing about dumbbells is the muscle isolation that occurs. Bent Over Row & Twist does a great job of isolating and hitting your back muscle at a great angle. A FB must try, also it’s a great way to burn off some of those holiday calories.

Summary of Gain Muscle Mass Workout. – After three days of this I need sleep, protein and recovery time. Gain Muscle Mass is a must try to build muscle mass it lives up to it’s name. FB favorite.

Notes: Day 2 of Gaining Muscle Mass, I once fantasized about becoming a professional body builder.  This dream died when I found out how much work you needed to do, to become one. People take for granted what it takes to sculpt your muscles to become something more then genetics decided they should be. Today’s workout was a muscle fiber ripping. (Awesome)

Workout Time: 51 min 16 sec

Gain Muscle Mass, Workout 2
Front Squat / Incline Bench Press / Wide Grip Pulldown / Military Press / Crossover Lunge / Lateral Raise / Close Grip Bench Press / Curl

Exercise of the day: Front Squat leg exercise. A variation of the standard squat that uses your arm stomach and  legs muscles.

FitnessBuilder Week 11.

Notes: One of the things I want to do is get bigger or better phrased gain muscle. Gain muscle is a combination of eating right and doing exercise that pushes your body to the limit.  FitnessBuilder has the answer, the Gain Muscle Mass Workout.  My first day was tough, I find that when I work out my legs it always leaves me feeling beat up in a good sense

Workout Time: 59 min 32 sec

Gain Muscle Mass, Workout 1
Clean & Jerk / Bench Press / Deadlift / Chin Up / Dips / Bent Over Row / Lunge / Overhead Press

Exercise of the Day: Clean & Jerk Full Body exercise. I !@#$& hate this exercise, it’s one of the toughest exercise for me to do. It totally wipes me out! I think you really should try it. Note the form on this exercise it is important lift light to get the form right.
