Day 41 was the first time doing a Body Beast workout, specifically, the back and biceps workout from the Build portion of BB. It is about 45 minutes in total. The first half of the workout is just various back exercises like one-arm rows, pullovers, pull-ups, reverse rows, etc., and the second half has the biceps exercises. The workout uses giant sets, and drop sets. Basically doing 15 reps, with a light weight 12 reps, with a heavier weight, 8 reps with the heaviest weight, and 8 reps with a slightly lighter weight.
Sagi Kalev is an Israeli-born ex-bodybuilder. He definitely has some meathead quality to him, using phrases like "I want to get huge" a lot. Like Shaun T. in Insanity, he has his buzz words and phrases that he says ad nauseum. In this workout, it is limited equipment. Basically, one of the guys in the workout just uses dumbbells and a stability ball, whereas Sagi and the other guy use a bench for some exercises, an EZ-Curl bar. And Sagi tells you about 50 times if you have limited equipment to follow Nick.
The workout is definitely good, and because you are increasing the weight between sets your muscles definitely fatigue, even if you cannot lift the same amount of weight as what the people in the videos are lifting.
