Workout of the Week

Tuesday, October 5th, 2010

Fast and furious. This is all about go go go! Very simple movements, very low weight. Beginning guys, look fora 12# or 16# med ball. Experienced men, you’ll probably want to bump it up to 20#. Beginning women, 8# or so, 12 or 16# for experienced. Record what ball you used, all reps and all distances on the rower. Demo videos for reference are listed below.

**NOTE** If you don’t have access to a rowing machine (concept 2 or similar..not selectorized rower) the sub in Sumo Deadlift High Pull. If you do, keep it light. Men, you might want to start at 35# or 45#.  Ladies, if you’re not sure, try starting in the 20# or 25# range. If you know what you’re doing and have this kind of thing under your belt already, look at 35# at least.

3 rounds. 1st round 5 minutes, 2nd round 3 minutes, 3rd round 1 minute. Rotate through each movement in each round with no rests in between movements or rounds other than the time it takes to record what you’ve done.

Call it…a barbell blowout if you will.

Experienced women, 60# suggested load. Experienced men 95#.

Beginning women, 40#, beginning men 65#.

I’m keeping the loads lighter on this one because the emphasis is SPEED. I want you to get through this as fast as possible. Record your time and loads.

10 rounds of 10 reps of each movement.
