*note* I don't really care to get into the specifics of my absence so I am going to just continue on as normal*

After a slight break at the end of Phase II of the TNT plan I am ready to move on to the third and final phase. I have to say that I really enjoyed this workout and I am considering moving to the advanced program after.

TNT Workout Phase 3

Workout A
1 - Front Squat (4x6)

2A - Single Arm Dumbbell Row (4x6)
2B - Incline Dumbbell Bench Press (4x6)

3 - Chinup (or Negative chinup) (4x6)

Workout B

1 - Ipsilateral Back Lunge and Shoulder Press (3x12)

2A - Leg Lowering Drill (3x12)
2B - Incline Lower Trap Raise (3x12)

3A - Pushup + Row (3x12)
3B - Hip-Thigh Extension (3x12)


Workout #1 (A)
1 - Front Squat 4x6 @ 115lbs

2A - Single Arm Dumbbell Row 4x6 @40lbs
2B - Incline Dumbbell Bench Press 4x6 @100lbs (50 ea. hand)

3 - Underhand-grip lat pulldown 4x6 @ 100lbs

Total workout time: approx. 25mins.

A great workout, and a big surprise to me. I went into the workout with the plan to keep all the weights as I would have had I not taken the break so that I could get a good benchmark on any loss of strength. What I found however was that not only was I able to hit all my reps but I can easily increase all my weights next workout. Everything felt good and solid in this workout and it is probably going to be my favourite of the pair. Had a little trouble getting the DBs into position for the press but I have found a good system to help with that. Also I changed the Chinups to the underhand-grip lat pull because I don't feel I am ready for chins just yet.
