Dan’s Workouts

FIRST DRAFT

My Goals
Unbreakable, strong, fit and lean.

Currently broken out into 8 basic movements.

Workout concept
Each workout is a full body workout with each muscle group taken to the max.
Spend 10min on a random movement from each to total an 80min workout.
Typical warmup is 8 mins with last 2 mins to max effort – commonly 8-12 reps with assistance and negatives. Some are the opposite, warm up for 2 mins and then workout for 8 mins.

My inspirations.
CrossFit because I can do things I never could before and never get hurt.
Dorian Yates, 6 time Mr Olympia, Blood and Guts method to get big and strong.
Dan Clay, founder of Dangerously Fit, to create bullet proof shoulders

MOVEMENTS IN ORDER OF IMPORTANCE
