Workouts by Body Parts

So I got an e-mail requesting ab workouts, but I figured HECK, I'm stuck inside the house today so why not just post workouts for all body parts?!!?

I know some people break up their workouts like Back and Bis, Chest and Tris, etc, but everyone lifts differently, so I'm just going to write up the top moves for each body part, and depending on how you have your split, it's up to you on how to combine them!

Remember, you don't have to add ALL the moves in, I'm just simply telling you my favorite moves :] choose which you want to try and add them into your routine!

I usually do, depending on the weight, 4 sets of 10-15 reps.
So that means: perform move 10-15 times, rest, repeat 3 more times.

If you're confused on any moves, google them or head to bodybuilding.com to find out what they are! :]
