Is this: Dumbbell Split Squat an acceptable interpretation?
| Quote: | | chest supported db row alternating arms |
What advantage does alternating arms have over the following?
Chest supported dumbell rows
Workout 1 was fantastic.

[quote="swanso5"]
workout 2 - split squat x 15, rest 15secs, inverted row, rest, push up, rest, face pull, rest, diamond push up x 3 resting 15secs each time
[/quote]
Wa only able to complete (2) circuits with proper form. Should rest time increase, or lower weights? |

| Quote: | | workout 3 - front squat / db row / reverse lunge / db incline press / shoulder press / bodyweight tricep extension 4 x 8, do in pairs with 30secs btw sets |
Week 1 has been grand. With workout (3) should the most weight encouraging failure be used, since the decrease in reps? Is this true with all your thoughtful workouts.
Many Thanks!  |

Would this Weight Set be a good addition to my current 150lb rubber hex dumbell set? |

Check out the smaller one with 115lb, it's only $39.99, the 160lb one is $130
So you're paying another $90.01 for another 45lb, which is approximately $2 per lb of weight.
I'm pretty sure if you bought the smaller one, and could source the extra 45lb in additional discs from somewhere, on-line or local to you, you could buy the 45lbs for less than the $90, it would be costing you as part of a 160 lb set.
Approximate saving with that method, $20-$40, but that's a rough guess. |
