Workout of the Week

Don’t give me that. You knew this was coming.


Over 4 rounds, the double pump reps remain the same. All others in crease by 5 reps each rnd.  Beginner men/women look at starting with a 12lbs/8lbs med ball and a 16kg/12kg kb. Advanced people you might want to start around 20lbs/16lbs (for men/women) and 24kg/16kg. Whatever you decide listen to your body and make adjustments if you need. Be safe. Record times and loads.


10 Double pump wall balls

5 Ball Slam (same load as above)

5 Box Jump

5 OH KB Swings

The second I saw this one in the gym, I knew I had to have it in my program. Well, that’s not exactly true. My stomach dropped at how much this was going to suck, then I knew I had to have it in my program.

Workout of the Week

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.
