Let's Go To Egypt

To do PYRAMIDS!!! Get it? 

In working out, a pyramid is a 5 set sequence where you start at high reps, work your way to the top with low reps and then back up. So an example would be 16 - 12 - 6 - 12 - 16.  So today we are going to be doing 6 different pyramid exercises. 2 for each major muscle group of the upper body. We are ignoring lower body today and tomorrow due to a race I have Sunday. However, come Monday, we will be doing an exclusive lower body day to bring it back with a vengeance. In between the pyramids, we are going to through in some rowing to work the aerobic system.

** Rest 20 seconds between each set in the pyramid. Actively recover with the rowing machine. Run if you do not have a row machine **
