General Notes:
Warm up by doing 2-5 mins of easy pace running, biking or on a rowing machine to get the blood flowing. Then 5-10 mins of mobility (lax ball or foam roller) and stretching to any tight or stiff areas of your body. During the workout if you get the top number of suggested reps and can add weight, then add weight. If you can't get the minimum number of reps then decrease your weight.
Please post a comment if you are doing these workouts so I know how many people are following. Also post if you have a question about the workouts or have any comments and I will post a reply. Thanks and enjoy!

  1. 1.1 Did at the Toronto airport on one of those cable machines. Squats were 60, 80, 100 (I think kgs), SDHPs were 60, 80, 70 (some shoulder irritation with 80, so dropped back down)
    1.2 Did all movements with loaded pack, probably b/w 30 - 40#

  3. Actually, scratch that bit about the weights at the Toronto airport being in kgs - it's obvious I don't work in kilos because otherwise I would have noticed right away that there is no way I have a 100 kilo squat. Ha!
