Monday afternoon I received a text message from my friend, Jon Benson, to let me know that he was going to be in Austin for a couple of days and he wanted to come workout with me. Jon is the author of Fit Over 40, as well as a number of other books on nutrition and training. And, he’s a super-cool dude so I jumped on the chance to train with him. Since we were taking up the time between sets talking about nutrition and training I didn’t record my workout, but this is pretty much what we did:
Bench Press 5 sets 10-12 reps
Pec Fly Machine 4 sets 10-12 reps
Incline Press on Smith Machine 4 sets 8-10 reps
DB “Punches” 3 sets 12 reps (Jon showed me this exercise. It’s sorta like doing alternating upper-cut punches with the db ending up in front of your opposite shoulder on each rep)
Skull Crushers 4 sets 15-20 reps
Press Downs 4 sets 10-12 reps
DB Shrugs 3 sets 12 reps
It was a great workout and really fun to catch up with Jon and exchange ideas. You can check out Jon’s books and see his amazing transformation on www.JonBenson.com
