How to *Weight Train and Lift 10 Tons in 45 Minutes*

There are numerous workout routines and different ways to lift weights which is good because the body needs constant change for proper development and building.  Always change your routine and confuse your body every 3 to 4 weeks.  Keeping this in mind, have you ever thought of how much weight you actually lift, move, push, pull, isolate or squeeze in one hour?  I think you’d be very surprised to find out.

Your mind also needs motivation and new ways to stay focused to keep you going onward and upward to reach your full potential and perfect body. 

I have developed the “10 Ton Workout”.  Beginners can cut it in half to 5 Tons.  When you are finished with your workout you will have lifted 5 to 10 Tons in 45 minutes.

Knowing how much weight you have moved around the gym can be a monitor for what you are actually accomplishing during your workouts not to mention a massive ego boost. 

It can be added to any workout routine and is defiantly a motivator to keep you on a constant path of success to reach your very best.

It’s simple to follow and as you get stronger physically and mentally you will be able to lift more weight thus giving the body the constant change that it needs.  My personal record is ‘43 tons’ in 45 minutes.

Follow these steps and add a whole new concept to your work outs:

WRITE IT DOWN

Using a standard note book or weight training log will keep track of how much weight you lift and how many times you lift the weight in a 45 minute period.

Starting with week one write down how much weight you lift and many reps you do and how many sets you complete.

ADD IT UP

Simply add up all the weight you lift in a 30 minute period.

Note: 2,000 lbs equals 1 Ton

For example: if you are working chest and arms on day one and you lift a set of 100 lb flat bench 10 times you have lifted 1,000 lbs.  If you complete 6 sets of 10 reps of 100 lbs you will have lifted 3 Tons.  Repeat the same for incline bench for another 3 Tons finishing chest with 35 lb flys for 6 sets for another 1 Ton totaling 7 Tons.

For arms if you curl 35 lb dumb bells 10 times for 6 reps you will have lifted a little over 1 Ton.  Then 50 lb bar bell curl 10 times for 6 reps 2 ½ tons for a total 3 Tons.

Finished result; 10 Tons.   

10 TON GOAL

A typical workout routine is to work 2 body parts starting out with 15 to 20 minutes of stretching/cardio to heat up the entire body (very important).

There are six standard muscle groups: chest, back, arms, legs, shoulders and abs.

Work any two combinations of muscle groups dividing up the 10 Tons evenly compared to the size of the muscle group.

For example; legs, back and chest are larger muscle groups and can withstand lifting more weight.  Arms, shoulders and abs are smaller muscle groups and should not be stressed with heavy weight.

Use a 60x40 or 70x30 ratios depending on your own ability meaning let your larger muscle groups lift 6 to 7 tons and the smaller muscle groups lift 3 to 4 tons.

HAVE FUN

Working out should continue to be fun and enjoyable.  You will notice that after the initial excitement of joining a gym that your enthusiasm fades a little bit.  Knowing how many Tons you are lifting each work out is a great way to enjoy your time in the gym and a great way to challenge yourself to achieve greater gains.

Always consult your Doctor before starting any new weight training program and remember…”if it isn’t fun, don’t do it”.
