A good way to ensure you cant walk properly for a few days....

This workout should in theory leave you with that aching feeling in your butt and legs that can only mean you've worked hard!

Here goes:
6 x Deadlift
6 x Bent Over Row
6 x Hang Cleans
6 x Front Squats
6 x Push Press
6 x Back Squat
6 x Push Ups

1st Set: 35kgs
2nd Set: 45 kgs
3rd Set: 65kgs
4th Set is optional: 65kgs

Then:
5 sets:
6/6 Lunges
6/6 Step Ups + Hops (I'll try and post a video)
6 x Box Jumps
As much rest as you need in between sets to complete the sets in one.

Thats it... simples!!!

Another 30 min session

Today were going to use the KB's!

For those of you not familiar with Kettlebell Training have a look on youtube for demonstrations.

Better still email me for guidance while using these awesome tools for training.

So here goes:

With a 12,16,20 and 24kg bell in front of you your going to work from the 12 up to the 24 and then back down to the 12.

With the 12 perform:
Snatch
Back down into rack position
Press
Clean
Jerk

Then switch arms and do the same.

Snatch
Back down into rack position
Press
Clean
Jerk

Then drop that bell and up to the 16kgs.... work your way up to the 24 then back down to the 12

Then a 5 min run or row at race pace.

Repeat 2 more times.

Then:

With 2 16kg bells:

Clean/ Front Squat/ Jerk x 3 within 30 secs

Basically every 30secs you perform 3 reps of those exercises for 10 mins.

Thats it!!!

Cheers

First Workout To Try Out

Dumbbell Buster

Using a pair of Dumbbells try the following workout:

Clean/ Front Squat/ Jerk Combo (ie One after each other) with a set of DB's- you choose the weight.
Every 30secs you have to do 3 reps of all three.... for 10 mins.

So....
10 mins of 3 reps of Clean/ Front Squat/ Jerk every 30 secs.

Followed by:
5x Front Squats (75% of BW)
10x DB Push Press

As many rounds as you can in 12 mins
