Swiss Ball Training & Strength

I did some Swiss Ball training this morning to work my core and to pre-exhaust my upper body before I finished with Smith Machine Incline Presses and Chin ups. Pre-exhaustion works great as long as you only do it once and a while.

My training looked like this:

Swiss Ball Training:

See Saw Presses - 16kg bells - 2 sets of 8 each arm - 16 reps each arm
Diagonal Snatch - 16kg bell - 2 sets of 8 each arm - 16 reps each arm
Pullovers - 20kg bell - 2 sets of 8 - 16 reps
Triple Crush - 20kg bell - 2 sets of 8 - 16 reps
"The Ax" - 20kg bell - 2 sets of 8 - 16 reps

Then I finished with:

Smith Machine Incline Presses -
185lbs - 8 reps
185lbs - 8 reps then drop to 135lbs immediately for more 8 reps

Chin ups - Body weight - 3 sets of 12 - 36 reps
