Hugh Hackman Is Fit

These workouts are pretty darn cool. One it's total fitness based, it trains alot of multi-movements on different planes per exercise. High volume in nature but definitely feel the effects of these workouts 2 weeks in. One thing I've been noticing is some of my weight preferences have been more on the moderate side than trying to go for world records in a routine. I think this is a great change up where I would always want to go heavy. So I think changing up weight loads is very important especially when trying to complete 10 reps of a set for 4 sets. Not easy....

Today's workout....

Notes: Watched Wolverine last night with the family and it was a very good movie. Being a comic buff myself - I was really able to appreciate the movie even more. Great movie and if you get a chance to see the movie you just have to appreciate some of the physiques on these guys - damn! Hugh Hackman is fit! There was another guy who was playing Deadpool who was pretty damn fit too. Awesome movie...

The guy who played Deadpool was Ryan Reynolds. You should check out his workout routine. He was always one of those "skinny" guys that got bulked up.
