Pulling Exercises Strength Training Routine

This is the second part of the push/pull split.   This is your pulling exercises strength training routine!

Pulling Exercises generally utilize the hamstrings, back and biceps and this workout will hit all of those muscles.   You will need various weighted dumbbells for this workout, and I recommend using a minimum of 15 lbs (each, so a total of 30 lbs) for your legs.  I will note my weights below.

Workout Breakdown:

The ” pulling exercises strength routine ” consists of two strength circuits.  You will repeat all of the exercises in Circuit #1 for a total of 3-4 times (depending on your fitness level and time) before moving on to Circuit #2, which you will repeat for a total of 3 times.  This workout should take about 25-30 minutes to complete.
