Some who follow me on twitter or have me on facebook, have heard me saying about the aches of the workout I just switched up. They have been pretty rough and my muscles ache in a good way. I thought I'd list the last 3 I've done, for different body parts, any suggestions for changes/improvements would be welcomed. Also something you all may wish to try as well, let me know how they work out for you. Also I am not listing weights, makes it easier to adapt to how much you can lift.

I will usually get on the stationary bike for at least 60 minutes as well, doing manual or hill programs, or I go in the pool for some laps or maybe both. Right now not able to hit the treadmill, but hopefully soon. I also don't always super set some of the above listed exercises, or do drop sets, I just did those in the last 3 workouts I did for each body part. I would like to note at the end of the leg workout doing a wall sit of 5 minutes will seem like an eternity and really add a crazy burn to your legs. I also recommend adding calf raises on leg days, but right now I am not able to do them, due to injury. As I say any comments or recommendations on this are welcomed.
I should add that on Chest days I will do about 2-300 knuckle pushups as well during the day. Which is not easy after really working out hard.
