Get ready for Summer Workout (gym or anywhere)!

This week is a little bit of a recovery week for me.  I have been lifting very heavy for the last about 3 week and FINALLY putting on some weight.  This week was a cycle week so I tried to "rest" but that did not work very well.  So I found this workout from Scott Herman Fitness's YouTube Channel.  He always has great advice, fitness news and tips, and fun workouts.  And he is lovely to watch cause he is fit and does not wear a shirt that much, always a lovely thing. 

Here is a pretty great workout that you can do anywhere.  Just need a couple of Dumbbells (DB) and yourself that is it. Scott calls this workout Spartacus 2.0
His instructions were to preform the exercise for 40 seconds and rest for 20 seconds before moving onto the next exercise.  Rest 2 minutes at the end of the circuit and perform it once again.  I did it a little different.  I did each exercise 10 - 12 reps each before moving one to the next.  and did the circuit 4 time in total.  I did not have a watch with me.  Either way is great, the important part is that you are doing it.

Here is the circuit.
1. Hanging Pulls
2. Off set DB reverse lunges
3. Single arm DB swing
4. Thrusters
5. Single leg, single arm reverse grip DB row
6. DB chop
7. Plank walk to push up
8. Rotational DM straight leg dead lift
9. Squat trust
10. Jump Squats

As many of you are asking "What the hell half these are?"  Below is the YouTube video of Scott explaining the workout and demonstrating the moves.  Check it out.  Work Hard!  Have FUN!
