Workout of the Week

Tuesday, June 29th, 2010

 

After a little more of an extended break than I’d prefer, we’re back!!

First off, a big congratulations to Inga Schlingmann who’s been training with me for the last while.  After 8 weeks of training harder than she probably ever though possible, Inga finished in the top 5 at the 2010 Miss New York Pageant. For anyone that still doubts this kind of training leads to not only increased  fitness & performance levels, but to even the most stringent of aesthetic goals…here you go.

Inga, congratulations. You did some amazing work in a very short amount of time.

Advanced kettlebell/gs lifters, double your jerk numbers.

4 rounds of the following

500m row
10 pullups
400m sprint
20 pushups
If you don’t have a rowing machine, substitute in 50 SumoDeadliftHighPulls at 45# for men and 30# for women. If you need to sub in assisted pullups, then do it, but only enough to just get through. Unlike some of the other workouts, this one is all about speed. I’m looking for an all out sprint for the entire time. Record your time and any accommodations you have to make.
