4. Barbell deadlift: 2 sets

This movement is more difficult. A standard Olympic bar without a barbell plate is 20 kg, which may be a bit heavy. If you can't do it, use dumbbells to do it.

(Attention! Do not bow your waist when deadlifting! Keep your waist straight! Otherwise, it will cause great damage to the waist)

Set 1: Do the movement until you feel exhausted

3 minutes rest

Set 2: Do the movement until you feel exhausted

If you want to strengthen your shoulders and biceps muscle simultaneously—while burning a ton of calories in the process—then the dumbbell hammer curl to press is one of the best exercises for the job.

2 minutes rest

Set 2: Do the movement until you feel exhausted

2 minutes rest

Set 3: Do the movement until you feel exhausted

3 minutes rest

3.Leg Extensions: 3 sets

The first group: the lightest weight 10-15 times, (note that the legs are straight and try to stop for a while to strengthen the contraction of the muscles and deepen the stimulation)

Rest 1-2 minutes

Set 2: 10-15 reps with the next lighter weight

Rest 1-2 minutes

Set 3: Add another weight or use the next lighter weight and do the movement until you feel exhausted.

4.Glute bridge: 3 sets

Set 1: Do the movement until you feel exhausted

2 minutes rest

Set 2: Do the movement until you feel exhausted

2 minutes rest

Set 3: Do the movement until you feel exhausted

tips The hip bridge is not simply to imitate the lifting and falling of the buttocks. It is necessary to actively contract the hips. All movements are like this. It is not a simple imitation movement, but to master the force of the target muscle group. Many people only feel sore after exercising, but have no pumping feeling because they have not mastered the strength of the target muscle group.

Saturday: Shoulder Workout: 8 sets

1.Warm-up: Warm-up of the rotator cuff muscles.

2.Seated dumbbell shoulder press: 3 sets

Set 1: 3 pounds, 20 reps

1-2 minutes rest

Set 2: 5 pounds, 15 reps

Rest 1-2 minutes

Set 3: 10 lbs, 6-10 reps (if you can't do it, switch to 5 lbs and do it until you feel exhausted)

3.Dumbbell Front Raise: 2 sets

Set 1: Do the movement until you feel exhausted

2 minutes rest

Set 2: Do the movement until you feel exhausted

4.Dumbbell Lateral Raise: 3sets

Set 1: 3 lbs, 10-15 reps

No rest, immediately switch to 5 lbs

Set 2: 5 lbs, 10-15 reps

No rest, immediately switch to 3 lbs

Set 3: 3 lbs, do the movement until you feel exhausted.

Finally, we maintain the lateral raise position for 30 seconds, and do a maximum hyperemia on the deltoid. After these exercises, your shoulders will be very sore, and shoulder training is difficult, because the deltoid endurance is inherently poor.

Sunday: rest!

Rest is very important! 

Waist training:

The waist and abdomen can be added at will. You can do it once every other day or every day, depending on the recovery of your muscles. I recommend doing it after cardio. Because if you exhaust your waist and abdomen in advance, you may feel uncomfortable when you have aerobics, because most of the aerobic needs the waist and abdomen.

1. Crunches: 3 sets, do each set until you feel exhausted.

Rest 1-2 minutes between sets

2. Raise your legs side by side: 3 sets, do each set until you feel exhausted.

Rest 1-2 minutes between sets

3. Rotation: 2 sets of 15 reps, 1 minute rest between sets
