Even if you missed out Tony Gentilcore's Deadlift Battle, you know Tony G loves his posterior chain work! And even if you did participate, you probably still need to work on yours!

Tony has put together this exclusive workout to kick off the launch of our iOS App, and this one isn't for the faint of heart!

Supersets for Success

Day 1 calls for heavy doses of lower body work with not a whole lot of resting going on. Keep in mind that the idea is to go heavy throughout this workout.

The next workout has you alternating your upper body pushes and pulls, with a little hip thrust in there for good measure.

Don't be fooled by Tony's sly grin - his goal here is to make you cry... OK maybe not that bad, but he doesn't want you to mess around. This isn't called the Posterior Chain Palooza for nothing!

Your Body Will Thank You... Eventually

That was only the first half - there are still 2 workouts to go. We think Tony was just getting warmed up, because each of the last 2 days includes a superset of 3 exercises, and the last superset on Day 4 calls for 10 minutes straight (check the Notes) to give you that extra bit of "palooza".

While we hope you've enjoyed reading this, there's no joking about this workout plan. Tony is a real pro and has put together a top-notch program here for you.

All you have to to is follow it, so get to work!

Upper Body Day 2 Workout

Notes for Week 1, Day 2

    Nicely balanced program from Tony. All the cornerstone lifts plus some mobilization/accessory work. The supersets make for a time efficient program.
