With My BROTHER!

Dan doesn't normally work out, nor does he ever have the desire to. However, I need a case study for a school project, and he is it! He readily agreed to having me train him for at least a month, 3-4 days per week. He's a good athlete, but he needs to get in better shape. He does a lot of sitting around because he records bands, and plays in his own. While he is GREAT at what he does, that is not exactly the best lifestyle for physical fitness. Hopefully these workouts will become exciting for him and he'll want to continue to train even after the case study is done. This was our first workout. We did it together, but we each did different exercises. It was a weight circuit, with 1 minute breaks between each circuit.

Here's what I did:

HSPU x 6
Shifty Pull up x6
Pistol x 4 each
Deadlift 225lb x 6
TGU 24kg x 2 each

1 Minute break, then repeat x 5

Here's what Dan did:

Push up x 10
Bent Over Row 16kg x 5 each
Front Squat 16 kg x 8
TGU 25lb x 2 each
Swing 16kg x 15

1 Minute break, repeat x 5


Dan was hurting by the last round, but he finished it like a champ. I was extremely proud. He will definitely be in great shape after the month, doing something like this 3-4 days per week. I know that my rest periods went longer than a minute on a few of the sets because Dan was asking me questions on technique and such, and because I am his trainer, I need to deliver, even if it means sacrificing my workout time. No big deal, I don't mind at all:)
