Time for my own exercise challenge. The difference between a workout and an exercise challenge is that exercise challenges focus on one exercise or one exercise combo. A workout focuses on two or more exercises or combos. My problem with bodyrock exercise challenges is that they aren’t at the level I’m used to working at which makes me feel cheated out of my workout.
Today I am slightly sore in my legs and really bad in my
shoulders but want to push a little harder with the muscles that aren’t. You
may notice that there aren’t a whole lot of exercises that avoid using
shoulders. (IMO this is why a lot of bodybuilders have shoulder injuries all
the time. They don’t account for the fact that yes they do shoulders day but
then every other upper body day ALSO uses shoulders so they never really get
well rested unless it’s legs day.)
I choose half burpee barbell rows with an underhand grip because
my back and biceps aren’t sore and this exercise combo is slightly less abusive
than others.

Half Burpee (underhanded grip) BB Row (35lbs) - 25 reps *up
