A Day for Details - Fitness Article

So you've worked your butt off all week and now your whole body is sore. Your back is aching, your chest wont budge, your legs hurt to walk, but you still have a day to train. What would be a good bodypart to work on even though they are all sore? None, instead of a rest day, take a detail day.

We all usually dedicate one day to 1-2 body parts and finish up our workouts with some abs, forearms, or calves...the muscles that need extra attention because they are already naturally working so hard. Because of that exact reason, take this detail day to focus completely on these muscles. With this day of thrashing, your rep range will vary from a 6 rep max, to a 15-20 rep wear and tear.

All you need to do is pick 2-3 exercises for each bodypart and target them each individually. Start with abs because if you do calves first, you'll have a hard time standing still if you choose to do any kind of pulldown. And with forearms first, you wont be able to hold onto anything. Even if you do abs every day of the week, focus on obliques. There is something we all do but in a way, still neglect. A good sample Detail Day Workout would be:

Standing Rope Crunches, Standing Oblique Crunches, and Hanging Leg Raises for abs...4 sets of 15-20 reps.

Standing and Seated Calf Raises...4 sets of 15-20 reps.

Barbell Forearm Curls and Reverse Barbell Forearm Curls (with EZ Bar if wanted)...3 sets of 15
