Starting out Workout A of the Reconstruction workout program we'll begin with a couple of bodyweight exercises.
The first exercise of the workout is Pull-ups. Start from a dead hang position, taking an overhand grip slightly wider than shoulder width apart. Now, pull yourself up and then slowly lower yourself down in a nicely controlled fashion.
If you can't do Pull-ups, then an alternative exercise would be the Dumbbell Row. So, for a regular DB Row, place your leading hand flat on a bench with your back knee bent and the DB held at arm's length. Now, row the DB up while keeping your back flat. After doing all reps for one side, switch over and do the same for the other.
The next exercise is one I've never had you do before in the TT workouts and that is the SHELC otherwise known as the Supine Hip Extension Leg Curl exercise. So, lie on your back and place your feet on the ball hips extended. Now, push the ball out and then curl it in, and then drop down. Repeat the process extend the hips, push the ball out, curl in, drop down. Be sure not to drop your hips when doing the leg curl as that is the biggest mistake people often make during the leg curl exercise.
For the 2nd superset of Workout A you will start by going down to the ground and doing regular Push-ups coupled with DB Split Squats. In this program you will see "Max-2" in place of the repetitions. What that means is you will perform 2 less than failure. For example, if you can normally do 30 push-ups, then you will only do 28. This will ensure you do not compromise your form.
So, for the regular push-up position, your hands are slightly wider than shoulder width apart, body in a perfect straight line, abs braced, and bring your chest down, pause for 1 second, and then back up. The pause down at the bottom will most likely cut a couple reps off your maximum.
For the Split Squat exercise, if you are a beginner then using only your bodyweight is sufficient. Start by taking a slightly larger than normal step, drop your hips straight down, and then drive back up. Do all repetitions for one side and then switch to the other side.
For the final superset of Workout A you will pair Inverted Rows with Mountain Climbers. If you dont have a bar for the inverted rows, then you will do DB Rear Deltoid Raises. So, for the Inverted Row, take an overhand grip on the bar and row your chest up, focusing on driving the elbows back and squeezing your shoulder blades together. Work as hard as you can to make sure most of the stress is in the upper back by trying not to pull with your arms. So squeeze those shoulder blades together and tuck those elbows in.
For the DB rear deltoid raise you will only need a light weight to really feel it in your shoulders. Get your hips back, ensure your lower back is flat, keep your dumbbells at arm's length, and then bring your arms up, really squeezing at the top and then back down.
With the mountain climber, you will get into the push-up position, hands just under your shoulders, with your body in a straight line and your abs braced. Now, bring your knee up and then out, alternating sides.
That's it for Workout A of the Reconstruction program. Next you'll move onto the intervals and follow that up with stretching.
