Morning Steemers!

In my last post I went over some basic preworkout information, and some arm exercises. Today I'm going to finish off by giving a brief overview of some other simple home-friendly exercises to help tone that lean, mean, muscle machine which will hereafter be referred to as 'you'.
*Quick re-cap from my other post - "...Each muscle group is going to follow the same formula, we'll just be changing the exercises. Start with 6 sets of 6 (will be referred to as 6x6 from now on (Sets x Reps)), then next day you hit that muscle group, try to do 3x8 until you work your way up to 3x15, then up the weight and start all over again at 6x6."*
*Always warm-up before exercising*


Chest



Now, if you have excess to an actual bench press, that's awesome. If not, a bench and some dumbbells are more than enough.

Start off with some Bench Presses


Keep it up with some Flys



And finish off with some Pullovers

And be sure to stretch


Back




Bent-over Rows

My personal favorite - Shrugs

And Lying Rows
**if you have a pull-up bar, Pull-Ups are gold**
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand Stretch!




Legs! (Don't skip them)



Lunges

Single Leg Stiff-leg Deadlift

and Squats


Don't forget to stretch those glutes!


Shoulders


Upright Rows

Rear Lateral Raises

Front Raises


and then stretch those delts!
